In 2010 Manchester International Arts worked with a number of partners in delivering a varied programme of events and festivals.
Our main focus throughout the year was the huge Lakes Alive programme - 18 events across Cumbria planned in partnership with Kendal Arts International, culminating in the flagship Mintfest event in September.
In July with Dance Initiative Greater Manchester (DiGM) we presented Urban Moves International Dance Festival - our only event of the year in Manchester.
This year we were also commissioned by Girlguiding UK to manage the artists programme for their centenary festival 'Fusion', involving over 100 UK and International artists performing as part of a 'street theatre style' festival to around 20,000 Girl Guides amidst the stunning setting of Harewood House, Leeds in August.
In December, on behalf of Kirklees council MIA programmed the street performers for Huddersfield's Festival of Light featuring Belgian performers Theater Tol's show 'Corazon de Angeles'.
