Introduction to Shakespeare- Mondays 6-7.30pm , 2nd - 30th June
Words Words Words!
For hundreds of years, Shakespeare has been a huge cultural icon, and for good reason; from the comedies to the tragedies, William Shakespeare’s writing has inspired generations.
But sometimes this history can be intimidating and it’s easy to get caught up in the feeling that there is a “right” way to perform this text. But Shakespeare is for everyone, so join Grace in a series of practical sessions where you’ll get the chance to explore a variety of scenes, duologues and monologues. Throughout, you’ll find the different ways that these classic plays can be interpreted and enjoyed.
These sessions are perfect for students looking for a fun way to revise for exams, actors who want practice performing classic texts in preparation for drama school auditions, or just any literature fan who just wants an excuse to dig into the Bard’s work!
Whether you’re an expert or completely new to these plays, come along and discover a way of learning Shakespeare that works for you.
To book or not to book, that’s the question!
Grace is an actor and practitioner trained at Plymouth Conservatoire, where her dissertation on Shakespeare won the award for “Outstanding Research Project”.
Introduction to 4-track recording - Wednesdays 7.30pm-9pm , 4th June - 2nd July
Learn the basics of analogue recording by making musical magic with the Tascam Portastudio. Bring along a song and embrace the limitations of analogue technology by recording without screens, click-tracks or software sounds.
Four-track recording has been used by everyone from Elliott Smith, Matt Demarco, PJ Harvey to Bruce Springsteen. Discover what draws iconic artists to this basic form of recording by following their process and producing your own songs.
Throughout the 5 weeks we’ll learn the basics of 4-track recording, including, recording, reduction and mixing. By the end of the course we’ll have a full mixtape of music ready to share with the world.
Craft Club - Wednesdays 7.30pm-9pm , 30th July - 27th August
Craft Space (or other) is a community driven space for crafting, learning something new and chatting to likeminded people. There aren’t enough opportunities for adults to switch off and be creative so over the 5 week course, artist and designer Jasmine will be running various arts workshops using a different material each week. From willow weaving to clay sculpting and botanical impressions, each week will be something new so no need to have attended the previous session. Having received wonderful feedback from a small but mighty group last year, the craft club is back with some new ideas and materials. If you're looking for some time out of the day to day and want a relaxed atmosphere in which to create, discuss and experiment, come along and give it a go. At the end of each session everyone will take something small home that they've made. All materials and equipment is provided you just need to bring yourself!
