Happy Christmas from the MediaShed! To celebrate the festive season the MediaShed Christmas party took place on ice at the plaza rink. There were no obvious injuries sustained apart from public humiliation. Which we are fortunately well used to by now... Submitted by richard on Tue, 2006-12-19 11:44.

Yesterday morning Delboy and myself delivered a Light-Fantastic Workshop for Southend Toy Library. You can see a selection of photos by clicking here. It went really well, in fact a girl who normally doesn't enjoy any type of events and didn't want to come to ours was apparently raving about the Workshop. Her Mother rang Tracey (who runs Southend Toy Library) and told her that her daughter has never been so happy since she was 5 years old! She is now 15 years old. One of the main objectives of the Workshop was to have fun and I think we achieved that. Submitted by harwood on Sat, 2006-07-29 09:19.
We have been asked to produce something - remake something etc for the Being here final event.Thoughts welcome - The following is an email from Alex Hyde. The event will be held on Saturday 29th April from around noon till around 7pm. The main venue is the new college building, where there will be a day-long schedule of events including a new site specific performance, and performances of the projects developed over the past three years. In addition to this, some of the visual arts work will be displayed in the gallery space as well as at Focal Point Gallery and hopefully we will be able to display some of the visual arts work across the town centre (I’m looking into banners and projections). |
