HIKE: From Noah to Now
People Involved
Project Description
This HIKE project will accelerate the impact arising from the partnerships established, and activities undertaken, for the AHRC Noah to Now project (AH/Y004779/1). It will also widen the reach of our current activities by forging new partnerships with organisations outside the Humber region, as the foundation for further funded research.
‘Noah to Now’ is an AHRC-funded project exploring how flooding has shaped the cultural history of the English East Coast across time. The project asks how we can use East Coast arts and culture to raise awareness of flooding in East Coast schools and communities today. The project has worked with partners Hull Music Service and with stakeholders Lisa J. Coates (artistic director) and Living with Water to run workshops, rehearse, and perform an East Coast flood opera – Benjamin Britten’s Noye’s Fludde (1958) – with six primary school classes across Hull and North-East Lincolnshire between November 2024 to March 2025. This HIKE application will build much-needed capacity within the project team to: a) convert research findings to policy recommendations, and b) build a new partnership with Opera North to extend the reach of our work with new schools and audiences beyond the Humber region.
