 	Project description (200–400 words) for use in marketing materials, on webpages etc. Note that this may be edited.	This is the umbrella arrangement containing Milestones and Digital Activity. Flood: Part I: Abundance “An epic adventure about the end of our world. Set in the future. Told in many parts.” 

Digital Prologue: This will be created and released by the end of February and toured around the city with Slung Low's Airstream caravan.

Flood: Part I: Abundance “An epic adventure about the end of our world. Set in the future. Told in many parts.”
Part I is the story of when the water came and how a leader was chosen. In England progress seems a myth. In England a cataclysm approaches. In England rain comes, relentless. In Hull a young woman has been waiting outside the Great House of the Lady Mayor- guardian of the status quo- everyday since the rains began. She does not know her own name. She sees visions. She dreams of the end of the world, of a city sinking. She has the word Gloriana tattooed on her left arm. Is she an immigrant, one of the great waves crashing onto British shores as the result of foreign wars? A runaway? A protestor with a particular, hidden agenda? She is arrested, but the Lady Mayor, a brilliant but childless woman is intrigued by her. She takes her in. A great battle beginning between them. Is the Lost Girl a visionary: the one who knows what will happen? Eventually Glorianna will flee the Great House, and head out into the storm, into the wilderness, out by the sea. To start a society that is free from corruption. And then the flood comes, the great house sinks beneath the water, the Lady Mayor and her whole family drowned. Gloriana vindicated. Hull is separated from the mainland: connected yet suddenly distinct. Hull is a sunken city state, a place where anything now is possible. 

Digital Interlude: This will be created in between the two live aspects of the project. Currently in discussions with BBC about producing this element of the project with them.
 
Flood: Part II: New World 
Part II is the story of how we survived, and what society we made from the wreckage. What does a cataclysm do? It washes away the distinctions between the great house and the small one: eradicates the vast distance between rich and poor. It means you must start again. Hull lies cut off from the mainland, its own place. Who will rule, and what kind of city will be resurrected? Glorianna leads one group of battered survivors, who came to her after the deluge. Feral, cultish and devoted to their leader as supreme power and prophet they offer one possible route forward for the sunken city. Across the city another group seeks to build a different type of society: inclusive, intolerant of hierarchy, free of superstition. And as the world struggles back to itself after the great flood, walls are built and war looms between the two camps, these two ideas of how to live... Utilising a huge cast, Part Two will explode from the particular to the general, out into society and ask: What is needed to make the world new again? And do we have it within us to do it?

Performance, Residency & Legacy	Performance: Summary of events, including dates, times, venues, ticketing strategy (free/paid, (un)ticketed), age guidelines (free text OR UKFC categories) etc.	At the end of February the digital prologue will be released on to the internet and screenings of this will be toured around Hull on the Airstream Caravan.
Flood part one will take place w/c 10 April. This will be a site specific/outdoor performance.
In May the digital recap will be released reminding people of what happened in Flood Part One. 
A digital interlude will be released by the end of July.
W/C 2 October: Flood Part Two will be site specific.
It is still to be decided whether these events will be free ticketed or paid for ticketed. They will both certainly be ticketed. The budget has been constructed around tickets being free.
Age TBC 	
	Residency: What opps will be created for our education programme? How will the project build new audiences through engagement? Note #s, types & duration of participation opps.	Firstly combining the digital and outreach in simple ways to bring the project to the attention of all parts of the city. And by using that real life engagement to direct non-traditional theatre goers to the digital aspects of the story. Some of this will initially be marketing and outreach (the Prologue video projected on to the side of our airstream caravan in various locations in the city) but this interaction will be used to introduce the digital elements of the experience to people on their doorsteps.
By being in the city for a prolonged period of time more engagement opportunities will be developed to fit the development of the script and performances. 	
	Legacy: What is built into the core project that will ensure legacy?	Digital engagement, community cast are built into the process - we hope future opportunities will develop during the process. Initially equipping the cast with new skills and also parts of the community with more technical know how, interacting with digital elements will only be part of the legacy with more elements identified throughout.	
Project Management	What is the model for delivering this project? eg we will employ a creative team, we will outsource to an agency, we are contributing funding but no other resource…	Devolved Delivery to Slung Low who will be responsible for full event delivery and artistically creating performances. This will include taking the event delivery plans through ESAG and employing all staff.

The only part of the budget managed by Hull2017 is: Producing Team Costs, Marketing and PR, Education and Community, Monitoring and Evaluation. 
Access: a limited budget for access is included in Hull2017’s managed budget on the understanding that Slung Low will be developing the project with access in mind from the outset. 	
	How will delivery partners be identified and procured? Refer to the procurement flowchart and note below the agreed process (A–G) for each contract.	Devolved Delivery.	
	Volunteer management: What is your expectation of volunteer requirements? (Numbers, roles, responsibilities, duration / period required)	Flood Part: Will require a maximum of 50 volunteers over 5 performances. 
Part 2 will also require a maximum of 50 volunteers over 5 performances.
These will include front of house roles, box office roles, production roles and helping with the large community cast in Flood Part 2.
