SUMMARY:Sherlock Holmes & The Hunt for Moriarty
DESCRIPTION:Blackeyed Theatre in association with Theatre Royal Winchester and South Hill Park presents Sherlock Holmes: The Hunt for MoriartyAdapted by Nick Lane from the work of Sir Arthur Conan DoyleComposer – Tristan Parkes \n“When you have one of the first brains of Europe up against you\, and all the powers of darkness at his back\, there are infinite possibilities.” \nLondon\, 1901. As the British Empire wages war in the name of a Queen whose health is failing\, a series of mysterious events reveals a crack in the high corridors of power. A crack that threatens to destabilise monarchy\, government and Empire. And at its centre\, controlling the flow of information and influence\, a shadowy figure plans a final deadly move. \nDrawn into the game and unsure who to trust\, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson find themselves confronting figures from their past in a desperate race against time\, aware that the most powerful person in the world could be in the pocket of one of the most corrupt. But just how much is Holmes willing to sacrifice as he faces ‘checkmate’? \nA thrilling adventure based on the work of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle\, Sherlock Holmes: The Hunt for Moriarty is a world premiere that combines powerful performances\, a haunting soundscape and innovative design for an exhilarating theatrical experience. \n“One of the most innovative\, audacious companies working in contemporary English theatre” – The Stage

SUMMARY:Looking Outside The Frame - How Not to Take Competition Winners!
DESCRIPTION:Talk by Martin Addison. If you want to win competitions you should study what is doing well and copy it in your own way. That is however a very poor way of improving your photography and not very satisfying. The aim of this presentation is to explore alternative ways of seeing photographs\, looking at many different techniques designed to make you stand out from the other photographers around you. Taking a varied approach may not win you prizes\, but will result in more diverse and interesting images which will give you greater satisfaction. \nThe subjects and techniques will be drawn from the following topics:Learning to See\, A Snail’s Eye View\, Bokeh\, Lens-Less\, Blurs\, Using a Fisheye\, Shooting from the Knee\, Camera Movement\, Subject Movement\, Multiple Exposure\, Mirroring\, Post Production techniques and using your phone as a creative tool. (Visitors £5.00)  \nmartinaddison.photography \nPhoto: Martin Addison\, Intentional Camera Movement
