Frome Children's Festival By Clemma

Hi Everyone that went to the Children's Festival in Frome. Me and Katie really enjoyed the day, there was lots of stalls there like an ice-cream one and a music stand.  At the Storytelling tent me and Katie performed, we both told stories like King of the Goblins, Jack and the Beanstalk, Silly Jack, and Jack and the Sunflower Seed. The stories went well and the children and parents all enjoyed it.


The weather that day was very hot, Cindy took some nice photo's, Jem our Tutor also told some amazing stories. We really enjoyed the whole day and I thought me and Katie did very well . There was lots more to see such as canoeing for adults and children.  We hope everyone had a fun day at the Frome Children's Festival, it was a very enjoyable day.

FESTIVAL AT THE EDGE SHROPSHIRE

Last weekend  we all were invited to the Festival at the Edge in Shropshire.

We all told Ceridwen's Cauldron, Silly Jack and King of the Goblins. We also did a workshop, we all did very well. 

 We all enjoyed the Daniel Morden show he was fantastic. We saw some other great performances, like Anne Marie Krarup and Colum Sands.  Everyone was fabulous, everyone was welcoming and friendly. The place was spectacular and we would like to go again. Because the people were just so great and we all enjoyed ourselves.

 

Langport Festival by TIM and CLEMMA

On Monday 2nd of June 2014

As part of the Langport festival we went to Langport library, where we performed Ceridwens Cauldron and King of the Goblins. It was a great opportunity  to practice King of the Goblins which we are taking to Festival at the Edge in July. We did very well and we think the audience enjoyed it.

We had to explain what the name game was all about and we all took turns in saying our name and doing a action. After that we did a mime game. Afterwards we had a  discussion. We enjoyed showing people what we do.

Creative Minds Conference steering group by Katie, trainee information officer

On  Saturday 8th  May I went to Bristol  to the steering group for the  Creative Minds Learning Disability Conference South west.  At the Arnolifini's light studio I met Kamina, who is organising the event, and other people from other arts organization groups. We talked  about  how we can run our South west Conference   in Bristol in October. I told them all about the trip to the Brighton conference in March and we watched  a short film about my trip to Brighton. Kamina asked us to come up with any suggestions of who we should invite to our Creative Minds Conference.
