  • Jim Grevatte Jim.Grevatte@nationaltrust.org.uk

Description

The Creative Fellowship scheme is an annual programme of residencies with The National Trust at The Workhouse, Southwell. The scheme is intended to support the production of new creative work, in collaboration with researchers, responding to this fascinating site and engaging audiences in its history through creative means. From its foundation, the workhouse system cared for those in need. It was a homeless shelter, a children’s home, a care home, a hospital, a school and a job centre; the Welfare State in embryonic form. Today we see the inheritance of this system all around us. In 2017 we want to focus on ‘sickness and health’ exploring the path the workhouse and its residents took from paupers to patients over nearly 200 years.

We are seeking expresions of interest from artists or groups of artists by 12.00 noon on Monday 10 October 2016. Full details and how to apply can be found at http://ift.tt/2dhgn8n

REGRESSION by BLISS PV Friday 7 October 2016 4-6pm

Description

Exhibition preview at Kingsgate Project Space:

REGRESSION

by BLISS

8 October – 29 October 2016 open Thurs – Sat 12-6pm

Exhibition preview: Friday 7 October 2016 4-6pm, with film screening at 5pm

BLISS (Lucy Stein and Simon Bayliss) laid themselves under the powers of hypnotist Robin Smidowicz within two ancient fogous in West Cornwall.  What happened in these prehistoric subterranean enclosures cannot be fully understood, much less their stories told. Regression is the best account we have.

Lucy chose to go down into Boleigh fogou near St Buryan for its enchanted aura. Simon chose Pendeen fogou, piqued as it is with antiquarian notoriety as well as an unrelenting stench of slurry.

Within the radon-filled granite chambers of these mysterious Iron Age structures, the artists ventured hypnotically through intense past-life experiences.  Visions and sensations were roused from the subconscious; Stein recognises herself as a bearded Roman warrior; Bayliss a tired Victorian lady. Boundaries of gender, race and class are traversed, and, as hypnosis deepened the artists gained visual insights into what happens beyond death. 

Each October, Kingsgate Project Space will invite an artist group or an artist-led organisation from outside of London to take over our exhibition and event programme.  REGRESSION by BLISS is the first such project.

__

Lucy Stein and Simon Bayliss met on the West Coast of Ireland. Their first collaboration was SS Blue Jacket, a multi-generational group exhibition at KARST, Plymouth (2013). Since then they have worked together on many curatorial ventures including The White Hotel at Gimpel Fils, London (2014). Earlier this year, they began working together as BLISS, showing collaborative sculpture in Uncommon Chemistry at Observer Bld, Hastings. Together they also host and produce the monthly radio show Squirming the Worm on NTS and are currently working towards Samhain – a Halloween music event at CAST, in Helston Cornwall. Stein and Bayliss also work independently as artists and live in St Just and St Ives, Cornwall.

ONE DAY COURSE: Stage Combat and Media Make-up

ONE DAY COURSE: Stage Combat and Media Make-up, gatecrash theatre

Description

One day exciting workshop combining stage combat and media makeup. A thorough insight into the tricks behind those nasty fight scenes. You will learn all the basic unarmed moves that you see on TV, Film and Stage from that ‘bitchy’ slap on Eastenders to how to sell the perfect punch on Fight Club.  Once you’ve mastered the moves we will combine a sequence, create a character and fight your friend till there’s only one standing with sweat, blood & (fake) tears. By the end of the day you will understand the safety, accuracy and comradeship needed to professionally execute stagecombat successfully.  Media make up is essential in adding those extra details within professional scenes, In this workshop members will receive full training in basic MMU skills, including the skin tone, bone structure and hollows of the body, ageing of bruises and open surface wounds. Towards the end of the day you will be able to put your newly learnt skills to the test at speed in a choreographed stage combat demonstration (with appropriate make-up and scars!) to an invited audience. So bring a change of clothes because this workshop will be messy!

The course is being run by Rio Cormack and Jamie Carter, Rio has trained at East 15 Acting School and specialised in Stage combat. She is employed as a regular fighter for The Next Global Crisis series, fight performed in various short films 

Jamie trained as an actor across several educational facilities including New York Film Academy,  currently running theatre workshops throughout the week and is currently working with several theatre companies as both actor and media make up artist. His media make skills and techniques have been on show in most of Gatecrash’s productions!

Call for submissions - Cranbrook Video Festival/Wellbeing

  • South East
  • film, interdisciplinary arts, visual arts, Other, video
  • Julian Le Saux julian.lesaux@gmail.com

Description

The Cranbrook Video Festival is now open for submissions.

This year the Festival is going to be held at the Crane Surgery in Cranbrook, and the theme of the festival is 'Wellbeing'. Videos on other subjects will be accepted for consideration, but videos about wellbeing are particularly welcome.

At the surgery we're currently putting together a series of instructional videos about wellbeing, to be displayed in our Waiting Room. Research has shown that a sense of wellbeing is just as powerfully associated with long life and good health as all the usual physiological stuff: weight control, blood pressure control, low cholesterol, plenty of exercise, plenty of roughage, etc. Yet most people are very much in the dark about what practical things they can do to promote their own mental and spiritual good health. But the information's out there: creative activity, learning new things, staying active, socialising, giving to others and mindfulness are all good for your wellbeing.

For the Festival, we'd particularly like to put together some videos on the theme of wellbeing - activities that promote wellbeing, circumstances that prevent wellbeing, philosophy of wellbeing, things that make you happy, representations of happiness, etc.  Videos should ideally be under 10 minutes in length, but longer work will be considered.

The festival will be held at the Crane Surgery in Cranbrook, Kent on Friday 18/2/17. The deadline for submissions is 30th December. If interested, please contact julian.lesaux@gmail.com with "Video festival submission" in the subject-line.

ALCHEMIES: Jenni Hicks & Meirion Harries

ALCHEMIES: Jenni Hicks & Meirion Harries, Lacey Contemporary Gallery

Description

A collaborative exhibition opens at Lacey Contemporary Gallery this September featuring two contemporary artists based in London and working in Photography and Ceramics.

All Artistic creation involves alchemy: alchemy of materials and of imagination. Jenni Hicks uses fire to transform base clay into works of art using processes that have existed for thousands of years. Meirion Harries captures and manipulates light to create printed art forms with processes that are relatively more recent. The ceramic object and the photographic image gain a life that transcends their origins in clay and paper. Contrasting the oldest and newest artistic processes, ALCHEMIES demonstrates that art is not simply rooted in or bound by the process of its creation, but springs to life through the alchemy of imaginative engagement.

Over five days Imogen will lead a residency for twelve up and coming songwriters, musicians, producers, entrepreneurs and video makers from across the North West. The group will collaborate on the creation of a mini-ecosystem around specially-written music and film, which Imogen and the group will unveil at Band on the Wall.

This unique event promises to be an inspiring experience for all those interested in the song-crafting and production process.

Please note that this is a discussion-led exhibition event with a live performance element, and is not an Imogen Heap concert.

Beyond Resistance (Creative Arts Training)

Description

A training course for Facilitators in dealing with Resistance

This highly practical hands-on course is particularly suited to facilitators and group leaders who want to acquaint themselves with the challenges involved in working with ‘hard’ groups within prisons, hospitals, probation centres, youth clubs, pupil referral units and holiday schemes. You will be able to experience, practise and learn a variety of techniques in managing and dealing with resistance and disengagement in challenging settings.

The facilitator has to perform radical and innovative functions. It’s different from a theatre director, drama teacher, youth leader, a shaman, cultural activist, therapist or a joker, yet it borrows aspects of these roles.

The facilitator needs to select the most appropriate games, exercises and techniques to bring out the best of the group, which means looking at the geographical, social and cultural context of the workshop session.

How does the facilitator deal with the challenges involved in working with ‘hard’ groups behind closed doors? What does a facilitator do? What are the nuts and bolts of facilitation?

Who is this for?

People who are in related professions such arts practitioners, social care, therapy, mental health, education, community arts or personal development as well as students and trainees in such professions.

Applications are also encouraged from social inclusion partners who are interested in understanding the role and value of arts-based practice to the groups they work with. It is also for Facilitators, artists, teachers, directors, workshop leaders and activists and anyone who works with difficult groups.

This will also be an opportunity for professional development, networking and skill sharing so as to enable continued high standards of good practice.

Speaking Spaces

Description

Workshops 4 – 6 Oct, Exhibition 14 – 21 Oct

Speaking Spaces is an offsite programme of workshops and an exhibition of new artwork in the Lightbox Gallery at LCB Depot developed by three Leicester based artists who have been working with Phoenix over the last 12 months as part of the Phoenix Interact Labs bursary scheme.

Themes of play, cooperation, space, language and the everyday have been common threads running through the work of bursary awardees Lindsey Warnes CarrollSam Francis Read and Mark Towers, reflected in a diverse exhibition of sculpture, performance, interactive sound installation and drawing.

Throughout the past year, each artists have been working  in parallel, prototyping  workshops and projects, which has allowed them to gain peer led feedback and the exchange of skills and knowledge in order to progress and develop their own artistic projects.

The exhibition will be accompanied by a series of interactive public workshops by the participating artists exploring methods of co-production and the use of creative technologies as part of an artistic practice. More details of the workshops to be added soon

Kitty Clark - Mr Nobody

Description

Sat 24 Sep – Sun 20 Nov

Phoenix is proud to presentMr. Nobody, a solo show of new work by Kitty Clark commissioned especially for our cube gallery. The exhibition features an oculus rift virtual reality experience at the centre of a series of sculptures and projection works, which explore a common abstracted narrative.

Mr. Nobody, the central figure in the installation, is a salary man living in the near future suffering from Technostress, a term coined to describe the negative psychological relationship between people and new technologies.

Technostress manifests itself physically, psychologically and behaviorally as a result of overexposure to technology. Computer rage – a side effect to this phenomenon – has driven people to verbally and physically assault their devices, in some cases involving the use of weapons against an individual’s own computer as a way of coping with intense frustrations over the failures of technology to deliver on the promises of an easier and more efficient existence.

The exhibition features a series of acrylic sculptures, which take cues from the subculture of competitive case modding – in which computer cases are modified decoratively to highlight the devices inner workings – and high spec PC customization. Through echoing the abstracted digital narrative these engravings seek to explore the relationships between the physical world and the cultures trapped within in a virtual one.

Clark’s work highlights a sense of anxiety and fear as our desire for digital salvation is replaced by a darker and more complex relationship with technology.

An accompanying screening event – “Coworkers” – will take place alongside the exhibition in November to coincide with the inaugural Leicester Art Week.

London Based artist Kitty Clark (b. 1988, Brighton) graduated from the Slade School of Fine Art in 2011 and has exhibited her work across the UK and internationally with rexent shows in Tokyo and New York. This exhibition is curated by Leicester based artist Gino Attwood

West Mids festival announces Breaking Talent Award shortlist

Description

Five of the best emerging comedians from the West Midlands region are in the running for the third Birmingham Comedy Festival Breaking Talent Award.

The prestigious annual competition aims to recognise and support ‘breaking talent’ from the region, offering the winner a vital step-up on the comedy career ladder.

A collaboration between Birmingham Comedy Festival and The Glee Club, the award officially kicks off the 10-day festival on Friday 7 October 2016.

The nominated acts are Ali Warwood, Harv Hawkins, Moses Ali Khan, Richard Quarmby and Tom Christian.

Born and raised in Walsall, though now living in Cambridge, Ali combines autobiographical stories with one-liners.

Harv hails from Solihull, currently works in an estate agency, and cites deadpan US comics such as Steven Wright as an inspiration.

Birmingham-born, Moseley’s Moses only made his official stand-up debut at Stirchley’s Roadhouse in December 2015, and has already won Liverpool’s Hot Water Comedy Club New Comedian competition.

Presently living in Harborne, Richard’s anecdotal comedy style draws on the slightly neurotic side of his personality to create a skewed world view.

Tom works for an overnight delivery service, hails from Sutton Coldfield and explores the mundane problems of modern life

The group were nominated by a panel of comedy professionals based on live performances over the last year, and also their potential to ‘break out.’

The Judging Panel on the night will consist of comedy legend Jasper Carrott, Birmingham Comedy Festival’s Dave Freak, The Glee’s Mark Tughan, and Daz Hale from BBCWM.

Birmingham Comedy Festival Breaking Talent Award 2016 takes place at The Glee, The Arcadian, Birmingham, on Friday 7 October 2016.

The night is compered by James Cook and also features a set from Andy Askins. Tickets are £10.50 (£6.50 NUS) from 0871 472 0400.

Sigmund's Shorts: Kneel Through the Dark

Second Sunday Screenings

9 October, 2pm - free with admission

KNEEL THROUGH THE DARK - A riff on Aleister Crowley and all that is hidden. Alternating grainy black-and-white with bursts of fiery, glittering colour and a searing soundscape, this film elegantly laces together animal totems and occult motifs in its exploration of the creative potential of the unconscious. Echoing primary processes, symbols and images are condensed and displaced as we are brought close to the realm of the drive itself, to a place abounding in beauty and terror. Filmed in Super 8mm. World premiere Cannes 2013.

The screening will be introduced by the film's Director, James Batley.

This Breathing House: Bharti Kher

This Breathing House: Bharti Kher, Freud Museum London

Description

The Freud Museum is delighted to present a new exhibition by Bharti Kher.

30 September - 20 November 2016

Bharti Kher’s inquiry in the realm of the domestic and its dramas finds its perfect counterpart in the Freud Museum London. Equally exploring Freud’s family life as well as his theories, Kher’s new exhibition is a dialogue with the house. Vivid and full of history, the artist calls into being the voices that echo through the house and refers to Maresfield Gardens as an organism, a “breathing entity“. Kher overlays, subverts, conserves and erases memories – of herself and of her own life, of her family and of the people who lived here. She adds traces to the house of conversations past and present that also engage with Freud’s references to the mind as a complex energy system. Kher extends the conversation to include the body...

Poetry Anti-Slam

Description

The Anti-Slam: Poetry at its worse! The Art House, 178 Above Bar Street, Southampton SO14 7DW Friday 23rd Sept from 7pm - 10pm

In normal poetry slam, the best poet wins. At The Anti-Slam the most atrocious poet wins! We don’t mean bad: we mean hilariously terrible, laugh-out-loud embarrassing, entertainingly cringe-worthy poetry so awful it transcends quality, becoming genius.

The Anti-Slam features some of the South's best spoken word artists, stand-up comedians, and theatre performers as you’ve never seen them before, competing to do their very worst verse. With performers from some of the region's best poetry events, the depths of poetry will be hysterically explored.

Featuring Hammer and Tongue National Slam Finalist, Stewart Taylor, former '451' host Rob Casey, UK All-comers Slam Champion 2002, Peter Hunter, Teapot Poets' Syd Meats, Bournemouth's Anarchoasthete, Carrie Carrie, Archimedes Screw Champion Kayleigh O'Reilly, Big Up Words' Cat Randle and Lines and Squares' poet Sandra Gordon. With performers this good, being this bad? It’ll be awesome!

The judging panel for tonight includes Ted Hughes Award for New Work in Poetry recipiet Maggie Sawkins, theatrical director Anna Carr, and Dangerous Ideas femme fatale, Angela Chicken.

"A delightful sham... a brilliant time." – Sabotage Reviews

The Anti-Slam is an internationally touring show, with events in Berlin, Sydney, Warsaw, Singapore, Turin and more. 2014-15 saw the first Anti-Slam UK tour, taking in 8 cities from Newcastle to Bristol via Manchester and Oxford, and sold-out events at London’s Roundhouse and Hackney Attic. A featured event in Time Out London, the Anti-Slam has sold out at the Edinburgh Fringe for the past two years purely through word of mouth, becoming an underground success for lovers and haters of poetry alike.

Your hosts for the evening will be Dan Simpson and cultural mafia boss Catherine Wright

The biggest loser of the night will be condemned to appearing in the National Anti Slam finals in London in October.

Lucy Skaer - 'Leonora'

Description

This October the Sidney Cooper Gallery showcases internationally renowned,

contemporary visual artist Lucy Skaer’s significant installation ‘Leonora’. In

2006, Skaer came across two works by surrealist artist and novelist Leonora

Carrington at the Tate and it was the discovery of these two small drawings

which led to Skaer embarking on a journey to meet their author later that year.

The pieces in this installation are a response to the meeting which happened

in Carrington’s home in Mexico and pulls together Skaer’s diverse practice

which employs sculpture, drawing, printmaking and film into a portrait of the

encounter.

In 2009 Skaer was shortlisted for the prestigious Turner Prize and has shown

extensively nationally and internationally including the Carnegie Museum of

Art, Pittsburgh, 2010, Kunsthalle Basel, 2009, Fruitmarket Gallery, 2008 and

Venice Biennale, 2007.

  • South East
  • film, interdisciplinary arts, visual arts, Other, video
  • Julian Le Saux julian.lesaux@gmail.com

Description

The Cranbrook Video Festival is now open for submissions.

This year the Festival is going to be held at the Crane Surgery in Cranbrook, and the theme of the festival is 'Wellbeing'. Videos on other subjects will be accepted for consideration, but videos about wellbeing are particularly welcome.

At the surgery we're currently putting together a series of instructional videos about wellbeing, to be displayed in our Waiting Room. Research has shown that a sense of wellbeing is just as powerfully associated with long life and good health as all the usual physiological stuff: weight control, blood pressure control, low cholesterol, plenty of exercise, plenty of roughage, etc. Yet most people are very much in the dark about what practical things they can do to promote their own mental and spiritual good health. But the information's out there: creative activity, learning new things, staying active, socialising, giving to others and mindfulness are all good for your wellbeing.

For the Festival, we'd particularly like to put together some videos on the theme of wellbeing - activities that promote wellbeing, circumstances that prevent wellbeing, philosophy of wellbeing, things that make you happy, representations of happiness, etc.  Videos should ideally be under 10 minutes in length, but longer work will be considered.

The festival will be held at the Crane Surgery in Cranbrook, Kent on Friday 19/2/16. The deadline for submissions is 30th December. If interested, please contact julian.lesaux@gmail.com with "Video festival submission" in the subject-line.

We are envisaging the creation of a series of sound tapestries of stories gathered through digital recordings and creative writing.
