For the Inspiration Festival 2012, Stone Opera developed a large Commonwealth map, highlighting the participating countries for the Commonwealth Games in 2014.
On the floor we started the day with an empty canvas and a mountain of wooden building blocks. The game was to pick a card with the name of one of the 54 countries, it’s flag and number of inhabitants. Participants then created a house from the building blocks, painted it in the colours of the flag and positioned the house in the right location on the new map on the floor.
Participants could also animate the floor map by drawing land and sea animals.
The end result was a large Commonwealth Map created by young people and their parents, reresenting different cultures living in Glasgow.
