Catch of the Day – Aerial Theatre at Brixton Windmill

Catch of the Day – Aerial Theatre Catch of the Day – Outdoor aerial theatre from The Dot Collective Saturday 31 May, 11am and 2pm Tickets £14 / £12 / £10 / Free for under 3s BOOK HERE Following last summer’s production of Dream Sequence, The Dot Collective return this summer with their brand new production Catch of the Day. We’re going to the seaside! A place where community unites the locals and those down for a jolly day in the sun. One local, a fisherman, has some fresh lobsters to sell, little does he know that these are not any lobsters, these are Lobster Quadrille Lobsters, who are ready to dance back to the sea. Inspired by Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and performed by professional aerial actors (Glastonbury/The Royal Opera House) it’s a story of wonder and nonsense laced with lethal wit, of games, riddles and conundrums, of questions with no right answers, but above all of magic and adventure in which you could be the highest bidder on the lobsters! Stay and Play! – there will be an opportunity post show for the audience to have a go sitting and swinging on the aerial silks. Recommended age 4+ Fully accessible…

A full day weekend workshop with skilled ceramic sculptor, Ben Swift. During the one day workshop you will, with guidance and demonstrations from your tutor: Model a small self/portrait head in Terracotta. Learn about proportions of the head. Build up a basic head form on a simple armature support. Use modelling tools to construct the features. Create surface details: hair, skin etc. Finish and prepare the piece for the kiln.! Teacher is Ben Swift  Ben is a ceramic artist and ceramics teacher based in Dulwich. His work explores both figurative, geometric and organic subjects with emphasis on process: construction, throwing, casting and fabrication, thus creating rhythms, textures and forms. These are expressed through the treatment of a variety of media. Most often he employs ceramics but he also combines constructed metals and found objects. Recent work has begun to compose disparate elements as assemblages. Cost is £150; concessions £75 As with all Bell House Pottery courses we offer two concession tickets at half price, which can be booked directly at the box office. If you would not be able to attend at the full price due to financial considerations, then this concession option is available.
