A New Direction recently hosted a workshop for teachers, representatives from the cultural sector, and arts practitioners to explore wellbeing centred projects in an arts setting. But what is wellbeing and what does it mean when we bring it into an arts and cultural setting?

I am currently undertaking the Gold Arts Awards with my main emphasis on Dance. I would very much like to know your thoughts 

regarding the involvement of disabled people within the Performing Arts. Below are a few questions to help you express your opinions. If you would take the time to answer then I would be most happy. 

Thank you 

Barnabas.

I went to the Weston Auditorium, University of Hertfordshire on Monday 4th of March 2019. This is a production showcasing  the Stanborough  School of Dance and their talented young people. 

The evening was an entertaining walk along the yellow brick road  interpreted by dance and music. The scenery was colourful with large bold  backdrops. The clever use of the technical lighting all added  into the  experience bringing the story of 0z to life.

At the Imperial War Museum North there is a really interesting sculpture called Crusader. I hope you enjoy reading about it as much as I did writing the review and visiting it!
