Mouth and Music


Mouth and Music, Kidderminster's acoustic spoken word and music night takes place in the Boar's Head Gallery, 39 Worcester Street on the second Tuesday of every month. Each month there are two featured performers/groups plus the opportunity for people to book short slots on the night. MCs Heather Wastie and Sarah Tamar encourage first-timers to have a go alongside seasoned artists in what is proving to be an excellent mix.

Here's what a performer wrote after the February gig: "A welcoming upstairs room, cracking cask ale, overlaid with big love, good cheer & exceptional listening"

Changes to Charity CRB(DBS) Regulations

The CRB now known as DBS are making some important changes to criminal record checks in Spring 2013. They will impact on all charities particularly those that employ a lot of volunteers.

The two main changes are as follows:-

1.       The DBS is going to limit the issue of a paper Disclosure to the applicant only. Organisations will cease to receive a copy.
2.       The DBS is going to make Disclosures more portable. Applicants will be able to pay a small sum of money each year for a Disclosure they can take from ‘job’ to ‘job’. It is expected that DBS will provide this service free of charge to volunteers.

The reason for writing to you is that under our online system, you would continue to receive clear Disclosures, so there would be no change from what you have at the moment. You would only have to wait for the applicant to bring you their copy of the Disclosure, if they had a criminal record.

Furthermore, portability is going to be better for applicants but there are also benefits to charities/employers too. Our online system will provide a 24/7 Police National Computer (PNC) checking service so if one of you applicants, under the new system, acquires a criminal conviction or caution, you will be informed immediately, and you will be able to request a new Disclosure. We will charge a nominal fee for the 24/7 PNC checking service and we expect this new facility to be extremely popular.

If you would like further information concerning our online system or the DBS changes coming in shortly, please email mike@mgcare.co.uk with your details and I will be pleased to get back to you.

Job Description
Local Engagement Specialist
(Freelance position)

Fuel is putting together a team of brilliant local engagement specialists to help with the delivery of our New Theatre in Your Neighbourhood initiative, which runs from January to June 2013.

The nationwide project will use shows Fuel is touring in spring 2013 to Colchester, Malvern, Preston, Poole and Stockton-on-Tees as a springboard for research with potential audiences, with venues, with artists and with the people who make the shows. Fuel is working with Malvern Theatres to deliver the project in Malvern .

New Theatre in Your Neighbourhood is a project that aims to get people excited about the theatre we make. We’d like them to come to our shows. We want to find out more about Malvern and the people that live there and in the long term create performances in their neighbourhoods.

Fuel is currently seeking an enthusiastic and committed local engagement specialist to help us achieve our aims in partnership with the Malvern Theatres.

We are presenting two shows at Malvern Theatres in the spring:

The Victorian in the Wall by Will Adamsdale
26 March

“An ingenious comedy... deliciously leftfield fare” Time Out on The Summer House

A work-shy writer discovers a Victorian man living in the wall of his flat. Everyone’s pretty surprised. Adjustments need to be made. A new play from Perrier Award winner Will Adamsdale (Jackson’s Way, The Summer House) and co-produced by the Royal Court in London. www.willadamsdale.com

Zero by Clod Ensemble
7 June

“Clod Ensemble is one of those innovative and anarchic companies thrusting its way through traditional boundaries of drama.” 
The Guardian

Zero is set to an original score played live by a band of acclaimed musicians and featuring an explosive cast of performers. 

Zero is a world where nothing is certain – where women can be tigers and men can be snakes. Families, marriages and friendships are laced with sibling rivalries, frustrated desires and murderous ambitions.
Heavens open and lives fall apart. Here, we are all at the mercy of the stormy weather. At least we can still sing the blues. www.clodensemble.com

Turning Point West Midlands news - Artist Question and Answer Sessions

Posted: 19 Feb 2013 01:30 AM PST
We thought it might be a good idea for Turning Point West Midlands to hold informal and free Question and Answer sessions for artists based in the West Midlands every month, starting March 2013.
Where: The sessions will be held in the lecture room early evening, with TPWM's Director Wendy Law, at The School of Art, BIAD, Birmingham City University 
When:
Wednesday 20 March 6-7pm
Wednesday 17 April 5-6.30pm
Wednesday 22 May 5-6.30pm
Wednesday 19 June 5-6.30pm
The sessions will complement Artist Development programmes in the region; they will be informal and they will deal with topics and questions raised by artists on the night. These might be about how to access specific information, about making an application, what to expect from a residency, the membership and networks that support artists etc.
The ethos will be one of sharing and exchange and attendees can propose topics for the following sessions. The sessions will also provide an opportunity to network and to look at the bigger picture as well as discuss the priorities for artists and the visual arts in the region.
There is no booking system, just come along on the night. The capacity of the room is 100. We don't expect to exceed 100 but if we do then we might have to limit numbers and introduce a booking system in the future.
We look forward to seeing you!
Wendy Law, Director of TPWM

Opportunities for artists

Critical Spaces will be running pilot events in Newcastle, Bristol and Birmingham this Spring. The events are for socially-engaged artists who want to be part of a hyper-local critical support network.
The events will be collaboratively developed in response to the interests / concerns of the local artists. Artists will come together to engage in dialogue around their work, in a playful and critical way; to improve and strengthen their practice; and form a collective voice.
If you describe your art practice as socially-engaged, site-specific, situationist, public, community or outreach then find out more and sign up at:
(The meetings are intentionally lo-fi, to eliminate the need for specialist equipment or facilities, and empower a DIY approach to generating critical discourse and support. As such, there are no costs associated with participation.)

Media/heritage project 2013
The Battle of Evesham Interactive Game
Wychavon District Council is looking for an experienced filmmaker/animator/game maker and workshop leader to work with young people aged 11-18 years on a heritage/media project. We would like the young people to produce an interactive game that is available on-line that demonstrates the local history of Evesham in connection to the Battle of Evesham.
Background to The Battle of Evesham Interactive Game
During 2012 a consultation process took place involving young people in the Wychavon District.
In spring 2012 a series of media workshops happened with four youth groups with a professional media company. This included Pershore High School, a group at The Regal Cinema, Evesham, Bredon Youth Club and Droitwich Air Cadets. Each group looked at film making and animation which was then edited into a short film. This can be seen on You Tube.
With the exception of Bredon Youth club, due to members moving on, further consultation sessions took place exploring  heritage themes that each group wanted to look at in more detail. The Evesham group in particular wanted to look at The Battle of Evesham, it was found that young people didn’t know much about the subject and that is was studied very little in school. The other groups wanted to look at the history of the Lido in Droitwich and the history of Pershore Plum Pickers. These are being pursued through other projects.
Lisa Kimberley, a consultant heritage specialist, has recently been working with the Evesham group who range in age from 12 to 15 years to research the Battle of Evesham. They have been going to the Almonry Museum, the library, looking on the internet, going to the Hive in Worcester etc. They have been meeting on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. As well as helping the young people to do the research, she is the project manager of the project alongside Jenny Davis, the Arts Development Officer for Wychavon.
What we would likeWe are looking for an interactive game that is aimed at years 6 and 7 that can be used in school, but also with the possibility of being used by museums and libraries by young people. We would like it to be available on-line. It needs to be informative and interesting at the same time, simple to use, with lots of images and some text.
It would need to cover 5 sections;
1)      The setting- 1200’s shown through a map of the area
2)      Characters   (e.g. Simon de Montfort, King Henry & Prince Edward)
3)      The lead up to the battle  - (this should refer to the story and social/cultural/political context)
4)      The Battlefield        
5)      Gruesome weapons and battle gear 
6)      The aftermath
TimelineMarch- recruit media company and research workshops happening with the young people
April -research workshops continue and the game structure starts to be decided
May- animation workshops, filming, editing and final sharing of the game
Essential Requirements for the project
             An enhanced CRB check less than 3 years old will need to be seen for any relevant staff to be used on the programme
             Minimum £10 million public liability insurance (cert required)
             Previous experience of running workshops with young people
             Experience of filmmaking, animation and game making
  • Experience of developing interactive media as an educational resource
             Experience of evaluating and monitoring projects
