SPAN Arts is behind an exciting new programme of art appetisers launching today (Friday), with clowning workshops and kinetic art in Clarbeston Road Hall and Bloomfield, Narberth.
This sees the launch of a series of taster workshops ranging from singing and crafting to poetry and dance, which will run until March 2015 in the Bloomfield Centre Narberth, Clarbeston Road Hall and Maenclochog Hall.
“This opening weekend is going to be pretty exciting,” says Span Arts community engagement officer Emily Laurens.
The clowning workshops will be led by Cardiff based Clare Parry-Jones, a clown who has toured internationally, worked with Wales’ very own No Fit State and who clowns in children's hospitals.
“Clowning is something that anyone can do, it’s fun and funny, and since it’s all about failure, there’s no chance of getting it wrong!” added Emily.
The launch weekend will also feature an opportunity to try Kinetic Drawing in a series of workshops.
“Kinetic Drawing is very interesting and something anyone can do,” said Emily. “The workshop was inspired by American artist Heather Hansen who uses her whole body and movement to draw onto huge sheets of paper on the floor. It is somewhere in-between dance and drawing and great for all ages, especially children.”
Span Arts has secured funding from PAVS under the heading Caring Communities to tackle rural isolation in the areas surrounding Narberth, Clarbeston Road and Maenclochog. The focus of the projects is 'intergenerational', meaning to bring people of all ages together.
The workshops are open to all ages and abilities.
Times and dates: Friday, October 24 Clowning Around at the Bloomfield Centre, Narberth 10am-1pm and at Clarbeston Road Hall 3-6pm.
