SUMMARY:Anna Pool Sings Dory Previn
DESCRIPTION:Tickets £15/£14 concs\nDoors 7.30pm\, show 8pmThis gig is for a seated audience\n\nComposer and vocalist Anna Pool celebrates the life and legacy of one of the 20th century’s most distinctive\, and too often overlooked\, songwriters – Dory Previn.  \nJoined by double bassist Nina Harries and percussionist Calie Hough\, Anna traces Dory’s extraordinary journey: from her early success as a lyricist writing for legends such as Judy Garland and Frank Sinatra\, to her evolution as a fearless folk solo artist whose deeply personal albums captivated hearts and led her to Carnegie Hall.  \nRaw\, comic and yet poetic\, Dory’s songs explore everything from Hollywood dreams to devastating psychosis to the almost joyful power of road rage!  With bold harmonies\, sweeping guitar melodies and biting wit\,  Anna reimagines this remarkable catalogue\, illuminating both the courage and vulnerability that defined Dory’s work. \nA rare opportunity to experience these songs anew\, this powerful performance brings Dory Previn’s legacy out of the shadows and into the light – vibrant\, defiant\, and unmistakably her own. \nAnna Pool is a composer and performer working across folk and theatre.  Described as “a thing of wonder\,” by FATEA\, she is ¼ of genre-bending folk quartet\, Wise Woman and played with acclaimed ensemble Mediaeval Baebes between 2017-21. \n \n\nNina Harries is a double bassist and songwriter whose work has toured the world alongside the likes of Anoushka Shankar\, Akram Khan and Katie Melua. \nCalie Hough is both a percussionist and storyteller\, regularly playing across the UK theatre scene including Shakespeare’s Globe\, RSC and The National Theatre.

SUMMARY:Dreamlike Florals: Create a Still Life Painting Inspired by Odilon Redon
DESCRIPTION:Explore the dreamy possibilities of floral arrangements in this hands-on oil painting workshop inspired by the imaginative flower works of Odilon Redon. \nWorking from a specially arranged real flower still life\, you’ll create your own painting from observation while experimenting with expressive colour\, soft edges and atmospheric brushwork. \nRather than simply copying what you see\, you’ll be encouraged to let your imagination influence the colours\, mood and details of your painting\, transforming the flowers into something more personal and dreamlike. \nWhat to expect \nThe session will begin with a short introduction to Redon and his distinctive approach to floral still life\, followed by a demonstration showing how to choose a composition\, simplify the arrangement and begin building your painting. \nYou’ll then develop your own floral still life in oils with individual guidance\, exploring how soft and defined edges can create depth and atmosphere. \nYou’ll leave with your own dreamlike floral still life in oils and a deeper understanding of how observation\, colour and imagination can work together to create atmosphere. \nGood to know \nBasic materials provided. Food and drink is also available for purchase throughout the session from our cafés. \nThis workshop is suitable for ages 16+ and is suitable for beginners as well as those with some experience of oil painting. \nAbout your tutor \nDenisa Mansfield is an artist whose work explores expressive colour\, movement\, and emotion through the language of Impressionism and abstraction. \nShe works primarily in oils\, with a focus on how traditional methods can be reinterpreted in contemporary ways. Her practice celebrates curiosity\, creative risk-taking\, and the joy of discovery through paint.
