Steli is an interactive urban performance by Stalker Teatro that resembles a game of giant pick up sticks. The work starts off with a few small structures before the public are invited to join in and complete a visually striking piece of contemporary artwork exploring the themes of living and inhabiting architecture in post-industrial cities. My film aims to show the piece as it takes shape with a live soundtrack provided by an on site DJ mixing in sounds from various sources including his own voice to create a soundscape as varied as the artwork itself. The performance was part of The City Streets Festival which itself is part of The City Festival in Leicester a collection of festivals bringing street entertainment, sports, Culture, Music, Art, Heritage, and more in a city wide celebration of Leicester.

Pro cyclists in the annual Leicester Castle Classic race around the streets of Leicester once again on a route taking in the home of Leicester City FC (King Power stadium), the Leicester Castle over cobbles and around the Mile Straight the route makes up a 80km race in total. My film begins in the race village where the various teams and riders warm up before heading to the start line to begin the race, we then see the riders travel the course and negotiate the difficult cobbles around the castle where the bells of the church of St Mary de Castro ring out as the race passes. The race continues around the various twists and turns of the course before a dramatic collision on the final stretch which sees several riders injured, after expert treatment from the medical teams on hand and a slight delay the riders made their way to the podium where winner Gabriel Cullaigh collected his prize to the cheers of the gathered crowd.

Captured in Slow Motion on an iphone SE, a Leicester based BMX skills display team perform various acrobatic arial tricks for gathered fans on ramps outside the King Power Stadium, home of Leicester City Football Club ahead of a Premier League fixture against Southampton on the day of filming.

My film features highlights of Leicester City Festival a series of free festival events including the BBC WW1 at home road show, the Sky Ride cycling event, Sports festival and the Journeys festival all taking place at various locations around the city centre.
