Dance and Performance Courses

Dance to the Rhythm

Monday, June 13th, 2011

Just in case you didn’t know, there are lots of fab dance performances coming up at the Lowry in Salford Quays. If you’re into Bharata Natyam, then you’ve got a treat in store this Saturday, 18 June when Rama Vaidyanathan comes to town. If masculine lines are more your thing, don’t miss an opportunity to see the divine Carlos Acosta perform on 24 & 25 July. For more details of what’s coming up click here.

Well, A Critical Eye seems to be going well. I’ve had very positive feedback about the tutor and the course content. Tomorrow evening, the lucky participants will go to the opening night of Nineteen Eighty-Four, so I am expecting some fabulous and diverse reviews to come my way which I will upload to the website and get our learners’ work out there!

 

Fab new writing course: A Critical Eye

Thursday, February 4th, 2010

Have you ever read a theatre review and been in complete disagreement with the author, or wished you could write your own review? Well, if you enrol on this course you will learn the craft of theatre review writing and attend current theatre performances to hone your skills. You will also spend a relaxing evening at the Cornerhouse cinema, watching and discussing a film screening in the convivial company of your fellow participants. This course is FREE and includes the tickets for Ghost Stories, Nineteen Eighty-Four and the cinema. There are 16 places available on Critical Eye: eight places in Manchester and eight places in Liverpool. To enrol click here.

 

Critical Eye

Thursday, January 28th, 2010

How wonderful is Twitter? John from The Public Reviews contacted me via twitter and suggested a possible new course for Just the Ticket called Critical Eye. Well, we met up this morning and designed the course together and it will start on 17 Feb and run for three weeks. Participants will learn how to write theatre reviews and attend performances of Ghost Stories at Liverpool Playhouse and 1984 at The Royal Exchange in Manchester. During the final session they will meet up at the Cornerhouse cinema and watch, then discuss a film together. So, if this course has grabbed your interest by the throat, click on the Critical Eye ticket and you will find out more (but not yet as I haven’t written it up or sent it to Alan and Richard at Axis – should be there by Monday).
