Northwest Regional Development Agency - Ideas wanted for world's first user-generated event

NWDA is inviting Mancunians to come up with inspirational ideas for the world's first user-generated day of events on Saturday 20 June in Ancoats in east Manchester. "Cutting Room Experiment" is a day of events decided by the audience, where every event has been created out of an idea from members of the public. Very different 'flash mob' style events will take place on the hour every hour and hundreds of people will be able to take part in the activities, which could range from 100 people playing violins at once, to a mass poetry reading.

Peter Mearns, Executive Director of Communications and Marketing at the NWDA, said: "Over the last ten years, the progress made on the regeneration of Ancoats into a heritage area where people want to live and business want to base themselves, has been outstanding. Cutting Room is the area's first public outdoor space and the first chance we have to celebrate the tremendous amount of work and dedication that has gone into transforming Ancoats into what it is now. Cutting Room Experiment is what it says - an experiment - and it depends on the people of Manchester to get involved, to generate ideas and to turn up on June 20th to create not just one unique event but several, which will involve hundreds of people. Cutting Room Experiment is a wonderful opportunity to showcase the undiscovered gem that is the new Ancoats."
