Ebbs and Flows

A collaboration with Lancaster University about Morecambe - the people and the place. Conversations recorded on location with residents of Morecambe edited together with a poetic narrative. "Ebbs and Flows started with an initial aim; to hear what people from Morecambe thought of their hometown (its past, its present and its future). We weren't quite sure what to expect, but ended up with a wealth of material (nearly 30 hours' worth of recorded interviews). As a writer, I felt an obligation to honour the generosity of the participants. The script became an exploration of the different ways that a place can be known and the recurring themes in the participant interviews; the sense of light in Morecambe, the sweep of the Bay, the challenges and joy of living on the edge." - Tajinder Singh Hayer, Writer and Creative Writing at Lancaster University
