COLLABORATION
By Miranda Walker

‘Collaboration’ is a tale about Kate, an idealistic new community worker with dream plans to unite two communities at odds over the refurbishment of a derelict public building. Despite her best efforts to get everyone on board the Southsiders and Westlaners refuse to work together – Kate believes they are stronger together, weaker apart but is it too late to persuade them to collaborate to save the building for everyone?

Students from the National Star College have been working with The Everyman Theatre to devise a show combining theatre, dance, song and video projection. This performance is aimed at 9- 11 year olds and links with the PSHE & Citizenship curriculum and the National Literacy Strategy.”

The performance will be approximately 50 minutes with a 10 minute post show discussion.

Did you hear Artist Penny Payne on The Art Lot?? Penny is one of the artists showing work at Site Festival 2010 ... the Stroud Valleys' Open Studios event starting on June 12...and we had a great interview about her life and work at the last Art Lot.
Her new work is stark and very exciting...and in the interview she explains how this change in her work came about. She also tells how fine art became a passion in her life...the family influences, and the places which influence her new art. The festival catalogue describes her work as, ' Minimalist landscape paintings: pen on gesso.' Listen in... and then go and see her ... she'll be showing with Carolyn Galloway and Caroline Payne at 1 Jubilee Cottage, that's in Jubilee Road, Nailsworth. There are two Open Studio weekends: 12th to 13th of June; 19th to 20th of June.

The Encephalitis Society ...a keen-eyed person in the Encep head office spotted my mention in this blog...and emailed to say 'thanks'.

That email led to another etc etc as they do, and the outcome is that my 4-to-5 guests on June 15 will be Charlie + Rachel Stanley-Evans whose baby daughter caught the virus two years ago when she was one..she recovered and is now a thoroughly naughty three-year-old, says Charlie with relief.

It will be a fascinating interview...Encephalitis hits at any age: I had it when 59. So make a date in your diary for that! Charlie and Rachel are both busy business people...yet with looking after two young daughters as well, still find time to raise money for The Encepalitis Society. http://www.encephalitis.co.uk/

Worldwork Initiative
Stroud 4th - 8th June
The Full Story – biography and the bardo of the west
Talk: Friday 4th June 7.30-9pm, £ 5
A complete biography includes the stages after life. Horst Kornberger has pioneered a participatory approach to biographical work and in this talk he shares some of his research into artistic processes at the threshold.
Workshop – biography and the bardo of the west
Saturday 5th June 10am- 5pm, £ 70
This is an introduction to new ways of working with the inner and outer levels of biography. Through creative writing, acting and picture trading we will explore the journey from memory to imagination, the seven year cycles and the stages of the afterlife.
Community Alignment and the new Myths
Talk: Sunday 6th June 7.30pm – 9pm, £ 5
In the past stories and myth aligned communities with their future. Today, they have shrivelled into mission statements and statutes, resulting in social alienation and stagnation. Horst will talk about the power of myth to shape reality, the creation of symbolic capital as future investment and the three alignments that enable communities and organizations to realise their full potential.
Honey, Money and Bees
Talk: Tuesday 8th June 7.30-9pm, £ 5
This talk explores the nature of exact imagination in relation to the bee crisis and offers insights into the threefold commonwealth as a practical movement towards a sustainable future.
Horst Kornberger is a writer, interdisciplinary artist, lecturer and researcher into the field
of imagination and creativity, www.horstkornberger.com mailto:horstkornberger@gmail.com
Worldwork Initiative for contemporary Anthroposophy was founded by Horst and Jennifer Kornberger
Venue: Centre for Science and Art – Lansdown, Stroud
Bookings: Jennifer Kornberger jennifer.kornberger@gmail.com
And...
Playwright Rebecca Nesvet who lectures at the University of Gloucs in Cheltenham has sent this flyer about one of her latest plays ... an American, much of her work is performed in New York, so this will be a rare chance of seeing her work in London.

ALSO!Listeners who heard my interview with Philippa Roberts recently may be interested to know that Evergreen magazine have done a big spread about Philippa's grandmother, Effie M. Roberts, in their Spring issue (out now). There are several of Effie's poems, with one spread over several pages in the front of the magazine, illustrated with beautiful photographs. There is an article about her, by Philippa, and more poems and photos later in the magazine.
Evergreen, for those who don't know it, is a Readers' Digest size magazine with a green background to the cover. It should be available in newsagents.
