The Umbrella Project collected stories from the people of the city of York. These stories were made into 3 ‘soundwalks’ - sound-based experiences designed to be downloaded and played in specific places, at different times of day throughout York. You can download the instructions and a map here (pdf). And the walks (for free) below. You can also borrow a ready-loaded mp3 player from the Central Library, or by contacting Pilot Theatre. The lead artist on the project was Hannah Nicklin, and music was by Simon Ralph Goff.
