Be Creative This Summer
Posted on 02/03/2009
University of Leicester
A host of creative opportunities are coming up at The Richard Attenborough Centre, University of Leicester, from April to July, with a series of short day and evening courses and one-day workshops in the arts.
Visual Art, Art History and Craft courses include practical workshops and classes for all levels of expertise, while music programmes offer something for performers from jazz to classical, with special workshops for guitar and recorder.
Drama buffs can take part in Simply Theatre and budding comics in the Ship of Fools comedy school, while dancers can learn the basics of Latin American dance. Literature comes under the spotlight with two sessions of poetry - Wordsworth, Coleridge and Keats, and Emily Dickinson and Walt Whitman " and Charles Dickens ever popular novel Great Expectations, while film buffs can take in the history of Ealing Studios.
Saturday workshops cover portraiture, life drawing and drama.
For a different flavour of what the Centre has to offer, its Arts Bar is open Monday - Friday from 9.30am - 3pm and Monday - Thursday from 5pm to 8pm, offering freshly made paninis, sandwiches, soup and waffles, as well as speciality coffees and teas.
Director of the Richard Attenborough Centre, Louisa Milburn, commented: "Whether you are a complete beginner or looking to develop your existing skills, were sure to have something to suit. If you cant commit to five or ten weeks, we have a range of Saturday one-day workshops in both visual art and drama."
All events take place at The Richard Attenborough Centre, the University of Leicesters arts centre on Lancaster Road, Leicester.
Access and inclusion are at the heart of the Centres philosophy and it aims to provide a friendly, creative environment where users with a disability can be fully involved.
