<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Avenir Book"; font-size: 11pt;">Families
are invited to come to The Hive and take part in a drop-in art workshop to
create a giant totem pole on Saturday 3 March from 11am – 2pm. The structure will
allow children’s artworks to be stacked on top of each other and create a piece
that evolves through the course of the day. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Avenir Book"; font-size: 11pt;">The
workshop will be led by Creative Practitioner Sarah Edwards, an experienced
Worcester based leader, who will work with the families and take inspiration
from the new papercrete and Bonsai sculptures currently on display at The Hive.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Avenir Book"; font-size: 11pt;">Meadow
Arts is running the workshop based on the work ‘<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Long Afternoon of Earth’</i> Bonsai sculptures, created by
international artists in residence Heather and Ivan Morison.</span><span style="font-family: "Avenir Book";"><o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div class="Normal1" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Avenir Book";"><span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Avenir Book";">Sarah Edwards
said: “Everyone who takes part in the project will make a piece of work to go
onto the structure and participants can create something as simple or as
complex as they like. The work could take many forms and will be prompted by
questions such as ‘tell us what you know’, topics such as the environment,
space ,travel, oceans, history, music etc… will be used; some serious and some
fun and playful.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="Normal1" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Avenir Book";">Steve Wilson
from Meadow Arts, said: “This will be a really enjoyable workshop which is
suitable for all ages. Simply come along from 11-2pm and take part and be part
of creating something really special with Meadow Arts and Sarah.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="Normal1" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Avenir Book";">Meetings with
The Hive staff, students, users and groups that frequent this vibrant and busy
library inspired the project, commissioned by Meadow Arts</span><span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Avenir Book"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">. Heather
& Ivan Morison looked at what the people of Worcester read and they opened
their process up to the Fine Art students of University of Worcester, who
followed and participated in this live, unique project.</span><span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Avenir Book";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Avenir Book"; font-size: 11pt;">The
artists’ sculptural works complement the architecture of the building and
convey a sense of the varied environments in which the act of reading occurs
for different people. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Avenir Book"; font-size: 11pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The Hive was the first library in
Europe to house both a university book collection and a public lending library,
and the artists have been using this fascinating intersection between academia
and civic life to develop this new work for 2018. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt;">The
summer seems a long time ago as I write this on a cold, murky late September
morning. Yet there is something of a new-year feeling with lots of arts
resolutions in place. What better way of a new start than having a new person
in place and so I say 'Welcome Elaine Knight'. Elaine is the new Part Time 'Arts
Development Assistant' for Worcestershire County Council. She will be managed
by Trevor Jones and despite listening to my jokes is still smiling. In between
jokes I asked Elaine a few questions!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

tell us about yourself? <o:p></o:p></span></b></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt;">I lived and worked in Lincolnshire for 26
years before moving to Worcestershire. I was the Performing Arts Manager for
artsNK, an arts development agency based in Sleaford, in the heart of
Lincolnshire. My role included; developing the performing arts programme
across North Kesteven, overseeing the artistic programme of The Terry O Toole
Theatre (a 200 seater venue), managing a dance and older people's programme
across the county, overseeing the Lincolnshire One Venue's programme which aims
to connect young people and venues together in a more meaningful way and
codirected a Creative People and Places Programme, Transported, in the south of
the county.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt;">Originally I trained as dancer and have always
worked in rural areas, creating opportunities for people to take part in the
arts who don't always have access to them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">

attracted you to working in Worcestershire?<o:p></o:p></span></b></span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p> </o:p><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt;">Worcestershire feels a little bit similar to
Lincolnshire - A rural county made up of a city, a number of market towns
and large areas of more isolated villages. As someone who believes in
creating opportunities for people who don't always have access to the arts it
was important to me to move to somewhere where the arts didn't always take
place in dedicated arts venues and there was the opportunity to develop a
programme in non-traditional venues like village halls, schools and
libraries. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt;">I really like the way the arts in
Worcestershire work together through the Arts Partnership so I am looking
forward to getting to know how that works and how together we can put the arts
at the centre of people's lives.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Group, led by Jenny Davis, have been very busy with an event called
'Conversations About Death and Dying'. This was undertaken in partnership with
Dr Maggie Keeble, who has a great interest in supporting people in their final
years. We had a mixture of arts and health professionals at the event at the
Hive on the 20<sup>th</sup> September and we listened to a great presentation
from Sharon Hudson from Birmingham YODO (You Only Die Once) who showed what our
Brum friends are up too as well as some terrific arts interventions in this
area. Despite the subject matter the event was both serious but also light
hearted. Interesting fact – the mortality rate for those who will read this
will be 100%. It was also the first project where someone emailed me as Dr
Wilson too. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

night (the 28<sup>th</sup> of September) saw 15 Festival providers get together
to see if as a group (a flock perhaps) of Festivals can get together to share
good practice, ideas and collaboration. Led by Oliver Carpenter, we had a great
evening, with live music and free beer from the Teme Valley Brewery. There was
lots of enthusiasm and energy and our next question is 'what next' but there
was a real drive and purpose to it all. Big thanks to Oliver for driving this. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

arts project being run by Worcestershire County Council, Worcestershire Arts
Partnership and Wychavon District Council in the Evesham area.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The aim of the project is to provide high
quality and enjoyable arts activities for adults who are thinking about losing
weight, are on a diet or who want to maintain their weight. It’s a new creative
course for people who would like to build up their confidence and self-esteem.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "calibri";">We would like to run the project on a weekly basis for a

various taster sessions for the first workshop and then the group will decide
what they want to do. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">

Create Your Way to Losing Weight and each session must contain enjoyable (and
good humoured) activities.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Having said
that, Create Your Way to Losing Weight is first and foremost an arts project.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;">I’m
delighted to invite you/your young musician to an exciting, upbeat day of music
making on Saturday 30 September 2017.</span><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;">Whether
you're a singer or instrumentalist, on Jazz Saturday, you will receive
bespoke support from our three fantastic professional jazz artists (details
below) to create a new arrangement of work bringing together these two
essential elements of jazz music.</span><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;"> </span><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;">Sometimes,
the full ensemble – instrumentalists and vocalists – will work together and
learn from one another; and at other times, we will split the group to focus on
techniques particular to each element. </span><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;"> </span><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";">The key
objectives for the vocalists will be about singing in harmony, learning
different ways of approaching improvisation including 'scatting', how to
improvise over chord changes and what to listen for to ensure a good working
relationship when working with instrumentalists.</span><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";"> </span><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";">For
instrumentalists, the workshop will also explore different improvisation
techniques as well as composing from scratch without traditional musical
notation, with a focus on learning how to work cooperatively and in harmony
with vocals. </span><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";"> </span><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";">Participants
will be invited to work in different ways with their instrument and voice, and
be given the opportunity to perform informally to parents and friends at the
end of the day. The workshop will be delivered in such a way that students at
various levels of experience can be involved, have fun and develop their
musical understanding, skill and interest in jazz.</span><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Severn
Arts is seeking to appoint its first Board of Trustees for its official launch
as a charitable company in 2018.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListBullet" style="margin: 2pt 0cm 3pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Currently part of Worcestershire
County Council, Severn Arts provides music education to over 18,000 young
people annually, and leads Worcestershire’s Music Education Hub. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListBullet" style="margin: 2pt 0cm 3pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">As a charitable company, Severn
Arts intends to develop its remit to encompass a broader spectrum of Arts
activity for people young and old, across Worcestershire and beyond. Over
recent years the service has grown many partnerships with the wider arts
community, and the new charitable company would wish to play a more strategic
role in the arts generally, including arts development and brokering arts
activity.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">We
now need to recruit a Board of Trustees with a mix of skills and backgrounds –
including business, education, arts, fundraising, inclusion, marketing, legal
expertise and more. This is an exciting time to be joining the Board of
Severn Arts, as it embarks on its new journey from a very strong starting
position. As a Trustee, you would have the opportunity to influence the
development of Severn Arts’ business plan and strategic objectives.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">More
information about Severn Arts, and about the skills and experience required to
be a Trustee, as well as the application process, can be found here: <a href="https://www.severnarts.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Severn-Arts-Trustee-Information-Pack-2017-08.pdf"><span style="color: blue;">https://www.severnarts.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Severn-Arts-Trustee-Information-Pack-2017-08.pdf</span></a>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">The
closing date for applications is <b>Friday 17<sup>th</sup> November 2017</b>.
Interviews will be held w/c 4<sup>th</sup> December 2017.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<strong>An exciting opportunity for your young musicians to take part in The
Bromsgrove Young Musicians' Platform</strong><o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
This is a once a year musical opportunity for talented young musicians still
at school to compete and perform. Successful finalists will play before a live
audience on Saturday, 24<sup>th</sup> February 2018 when an experienced panel
of adjudicators will select the two most outstanding performances in each of
the Junior and Senior sections. Those performances will be rewarded with
generous financial awards to help the performers' musical development.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
This exciting new classical music platform is <strong>only</strong> open to
young musicians aged 9-17 who play instruments, and singers if aged over 13,
who are resident or in full time education in the following areas; The West
Midlands (inside a radius of 30 miles of the centre of Bromsgrove) together
with the whole of Worcestershire, Gloucestershire and Herefordshire. They have
to be of a standard that is equivalent to Grade 4 (Junior Section aged 9-13) or
Grade 6 (Senior Section aged 14-17).<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
There is a two-day Audition Round to select the finalists. The young
musicians selected from that round go forward to play before a live audience at
the Finalists' Concert. Both the Auditions and Finalists' Concert next year
will be held in the new Routh Concert Hall at Bromsgrove School. Total bursary
monies of £2,550 (£1,000 Senior winner, £750 Junior winner and £400 for each
second prize) offer talented young musicians the chance to buy music lessons,
sheet music or a new instrument. This opportunity is part of and carries

<br />
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 1em 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt;">Workers
from Worcester City and Worcestershire County Council have come together and
are organizing a charity concert “Musicians Against Homelessness” on September
22nd at the Marrs Bar. It will support Crisis (<a href="https://www.crisis.org.uk/"><span style="color: blue;">https://www.crisis.org.uk</span></a>),
a national organization fighting to eradicate homelessness from British
streets.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt;">This
is a national campaign, organized by the legendary Alan McGee, owner of
Creation Records and managers of such major acts as Oasis and Primal Scream. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="margin: 1em 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt;">We
managed to secure really great names -bringing together the most promising new
bands and local musical heroes such as Vinny Peculiar (who earned himself a
blue plaque for his work on Manchester music scene, but who was born in
Worcestershire) or Rita Lynch (founder of first all-female rock band in UK and
punk legend, life-long resident of Bristol who loves our county and gigs here
regularly).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt;">From
the young bands we have nth cave – who just have been debuted on 6 Music on
August 4th by Steve Lamacq himself (he even said he will observe the band
closely) and Lost Tigers to The Wild – a duo who are currently represented by
Talent Agency (one of the most prestigious agencies and PR companies in the
country). For more information please check out:</span><br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Dear all <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">After 9 years of being County Arts Officer I have decided to
leave the post. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">There are a number of reasons as to why I am doing this but
the main one is that I simply want to do something else with my career and life
too! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I am going to do some exciting part time work with Meadow
Arts and look to do some freelance work. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I want to thank you all for everything you have all done in
supporting me in the role. Without your help and friendship I wouldn't
have stayed this long and you have made the job be rewarding and very
satisfying. It's been a hell of a ride and now it's time to get off and do
something else.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I have always been so proud to be the County Arts Officer
and I hope I have done the job with the values I hold dear namely fairness,
empathy and humour. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Thank you from my heart. I will be in touch before I leave
too! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
