Arts Award on Voice

Azzedine Alaia is regarded as one of the greatest and most respected fashion designers in history. Personally, I’d never heard of him or ‘haute couture’ before this week, but that's why I love doing Arts Awards. I am always learning something new!

On Thursday 14th June 2018, I went to see Cambridge Arts Theatre's stage adaptation on Charles Dicken's classic novel: Great Expectations.

In 1954, following her death, Frida Kahlo's possessions were locked away in her home, the Casa Azul (Blue House), in Mexico.  Half a century later, her beautiful collection of clothes, jewellery, medicines, make-up and false leg were rediscovered in a cupboard in her bathroom.  This is the first time they have been exhibited outside Mexico, so I went to the V&A museum in London to find out more.

I described and showed Evie the exact way  to play a short sequence so that we could all improvise together (with William too) on our Bronze Arts Awards Course at The Womack-Banning Piano Academy.

Learning about Art Conservation was super but just you wait 'til you read this blog!

I really enjoyed watching this pantomime as it was funny and good comedic value and I would recommend it to all ages.

I saw Lion King at the Lyceum Theatre, London. Based on the Disney animated film, The Lion King premiered on Broadway in 1997 and The Lion King London opened in October 1999, playing to packed houses ever since!

The Lion King is a musical based on Disney's 1994 animated film. First opened in Britain at the Lyceum Theatre on 19 October 1999, the musical features African animals, represented by actors and actresses of all ages, in animal costumes and giant hollow puppets with elaborate and excessive makeup. Performed at the Lyceum Theatre, the musical is directed by Julie Taymor and music and lyrics by Elton John and Tim Rice, and has been running for 16 years.

Being part of the audience at the Corn Exchange in Cambridge always fills me with excitement. This time I found myself waiting for the start of Nigel Kennedy’s concert. As there was a significant delay due to heavy traffic, the atmosphere in the auditorium grew slightly tired and sleepy. It was Wednesday 16th May 2018. Bach was about to meet Kennedy and Kennedy was about to meet Gershwin.

I went to the Brighton and Hove photography club exhibition.
