'Crow' Avanti Display with support from Zoe Mulford | Birch Community Centre
Jun 20, 2025 (UTC+0)ENDED
Brighton
Crow- Avanti Display Taking the form of a music concert, the show begins at twilight, with three musicians arriving for a gig. As the light fades, the atmosphere begins to change. An inventive music score is interrupted by ridiculous acts of conjuring, more Tommy Cooper than David Blane. Reality seems to warp. When full darkness falls, sleight of hand and video projection expand this comic and curious world, suggesting ideas both profound and absurd. Avanti Display is one of the UK’s longest established outdoor performance companies creating over twenty original shows. This production features collaborations with a range of artists: music by Seaming To; words by Lou Glanfield (IOU), dramaturgy by Mark Long (People Show), Audio Visual design by Chris Squire (Impossible Arts). The show was conceived by Bill Palmer, developed and performed by the company: Bill Palmer, Chris Squire, Paschale Straiton, Seaming To and Semay Wu. Zoe Mulford Zoe Mulford is rapidly becoming best-known as the writer of The President Sang Amazing Grace, which has been covered by Joan Baez and by Kronos Quartet featuring Meklit. The song was voted 2018 Song of the Year by Folk Alliance International. Originally from Pennsylvania, she first started performing her own songs while living in North Carolina in the 1990's. Since then, she has released five albums on the cooperative Azalea City Recordings label. She now lives in the North of England and tours on both sides of the Atlantic. There will be a bar available serving alcohol and non-alcohol drinks Doors open 7.00pm Zoe Mulford 7.30pm Interval 8.15 pm Avanti Display- Crow 8.45pm

Painting Landscapes with Hester Berry | Draw Brighton
Jun 21, 2025 (UTC+1)ENDED
Brighton and Hove
We welcome the respected landscape painter
Hester Berry
to the studio for an accessible and well-structured class weekend course, focusing on painting landscape in oil paints.
Over the weekend Hester will help you to understand how you might use a sketchbook to support your painting and discuss how you best use colour, light and economical brushwork to develop engaging landscape paintings, working up a complete painting in the studio from reference sketches and photographs. This course is ideal for beginners who want to learn how to approach painting landscapes in oils, as well as more experienced painters who are looking to learn from Hester.
What to Expect
Day 1: Following an introductory talk we will head go outside to draw near to the studio (weather permitting) followed by a discussion of tone and short demonstration. You will then have the opportunity to begin your own painting from your own reference material under Hester’s guidance while Hester works on an ongoing demonstration piece.
Day 2: We will look at colour and mark-making in more depth and you will be able to continue to work on your own paintings, with Hester’s support.
The workshop will run from 10am-5pm, with a 1-hour lunch break - you are welcome to bring a packed lunch, or to pop to the nearby Sainsbury’s, or a café on London Road. There will also be extra tea breaks throughout the day.
What you need to bring
Most materials will be provided, including oil paint, solvent, additional oil painting paper, palettes and palette knives. You will need to bring:
A choice of photos of landscapes to work from (printouts are fine, but a tablet, iPad or phone is often preferable).
A sketchbook
An apron and appropriate clothing to be painting and to be outside for an hour or so: sunhats, sunscreen, waterproofs, depending on weather
Paint brushes, a selection of widths including a ¾" flat/chisel brush, and a smaller flat/chisel brush
3-4 canvases, boards or pieces of oil paper between 9”x12” and 18”x24” in size, primed and prepared with a ground of a solvent-thinned coat of brown oil paint. Hester suggests a mixture of yellow ochre, burnt sienna and French ultramarine; aim for a warm soily/sandy colour.
Rags or kitchen Roll
You will need to take your painting home with you at the end of the course, so please bear that in mind and bring a box or appropriate carrier – paintings can be left at the studio to dry. If you have any questions, please contact
info@draw-brighton.co.uk

About Maisha Stories Project
From November 2024 to December 2025, we will work with Black, Asian and ethnically diverse people of colour (BPOC) communities based along the South Downs National Park and East Sussex to co-produce and co-deliver a series of 12 monthly storytelling and placemaking workshops in Brighton’s Moulsecoomb, Hastings and Lewes aimed at people of all ages and backgrounds including families.
Project partners are Writing Our Legacy (WOL) and Diversity Lewes and The Rest Experience and working with academic Dr Jess Moriarty. Look out for our updates on how you can get involved if you are living, working or studying in these areas.
The project builds on the Maisha Stories: No Place Like Home project devised in 2024 by Amy Zamarripa Solis (WOL), Tony Kalume (Diversity Lewes) and Dr Jess Moriarty and delivered with Akila Richards founder of The Rest Experience.
The project has delivered a workshop series in Lewes, supported by University of Brighton’s Community – University Partnership Programme and funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC), part of UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), AHRC Impact Account and Arts Council England.
The project has also delivered workshops, in partnership with Sussex Police, funded by IGNITE Acceleration fund and Policy Support Fund.
Why Maisha Stories?
In Swahili, the name Maisha represents the value, diversity, and beauty of life, the profound meaning of life and the energy, power, and essence of being. It is a name celebrated across African societies and more widely that inspires connections between human existence, nature and the whole community of life. It acknowledges these interconnections as precious and vital and should be celebrated.
Project Aims
The project seeks to connect individuals and build new communities. Storytelling, in particular, can be a catalyst for community, enabling people to share their lives and experiences and combating feelings of loneliness. We want to address the inequality of access to the natural environment in the UK.
Writing Our Legacy CIC
is an arts and heritage organisation that enables Black, Asian and ethnically diverse/BPOC* people to tell their story through writing and the creative arts. We were established in 2012.
We give writers and other creatives a platform and community to feel supported, nurtured and evolve their work through the creative pipeline, from start to publication. We share stories and heritage of diaspora communities and bring them to life through various art forms for audiences to learn and take part in cultural heritage. We are an Arts Council England National Portfolio Organisation.
