Last week we were joined by a group of P5 pupils from Dalry Primary Primary School. The school is currently running a creative arts festival for the Dalry & Gorgie area called Sharing Secrets. The school is very keen to establish links with artists and colleges to be part of the festival and approached us about working with our artist in residence, Hazel Powell. The 1st step was for Headteacher Grant Gilles to bring the pupils to see the end of year exhibition at the Granton campus. The group were given a talk and tour by Hazel and a group of CAP2 students. At the end we had a brief workshop discussion about doing a short project for this years festival. Hazel and the CAP students spent last week working together and today is the return visit to the school for a series of creative workshops with the pupils.
More in our next post!

Opening tonight as part of GI2016Ā current Edinburgh CollegeĀ Artist In Residence Hazel Powell & Contemporary Art Etc graduates Evie Thornton & Georgia Sparkes will Ā be performing atthe Gorbals Caladonia Road Church as part of ZoeĀ Walker & Neil Bromwichās Circus Between Worlds project.Ā
Sisters, Evie and Georgia will join Hazel in performing new work by Hazel specially commissionedĀ for the opening evening of the large scale contemporary art performance event.
Walker & Bromwichās Circus Between Worlds brings together a maverick troupe of artists. Starting itās life in the ruins of the Iconic Alexander āGreekā Thompson Church on Caledonian Rd in Glasgow, the Circus Between Worlds will appear out of the darkness as if an encampment has arrived in town, bringing with it a bizarre and eclectic collection of performers. A series of performance nights will take shape, hovering somewhere between the first hints of circus performed on village greens in rural France and the sentiment of death metal. The Circus Between Worlds seeks to rekindle the natural sense of awe which we remember from childhood; when fairies and elephants still frequented our doorsteps in dreams. But it does not forget the dark spaces and the nightmares.
Circus Between Worlds is a free-form learning environment, bringing together artists across the spectrum of their creative development, from established artists, recent graduates and students, in a familial frisson of ideas and energies, creating an open framework for pure expression while interrogating the particularity of site.
Ā Artist including:Ā Walker & Bromwich, Maria Fusco, David Sherry, Francis Thorburn, Jedrzej Cichosz, Urara Tsuchiya, Sion Parkinson, Richard Whitby & Sooyon Kim, La Malle des Indes,Ā Emma Finn, Stasis, Edwin Li, Graham Mack, Susan Mowatt, Frankie Burr, Hazel Powell, Astrid Newman & Francesca Hawker andĀ students from Edinburgh College of Art, Glasgow School of Art and Newcastle University. Lighting by PETER JARSDELL LTD
ZoĆ« Walker & Neil Bromwichās collaborative practice seeks to explore the space between āwhat exists and what is possibleā re-igniting Utopian Ideologies.
The project is hosted and facilitated by WAVEparticle as part of their Open Spaces project. For more details see www.waveparticle.co.uk

Coinciding with the final week of the Lee Miller andĀ Picasso Exhibition atĀ the ScottishĀ National Portrait Gallery in EdinburghĀ #AIRetcĀ Artists Julie Duffyand Hayley Matherswill present their collaborative practice inspired by the life and work of Lee Miller.

Over the past year, the artists have hosted a series of dinner parties to celebrate her life and discuss her work. The dinners have been inspired by recipes created by Miller and have allowed the artists to share their research.
The talk is freeĀ andĀ will take place at the Hawthornden Lecture Theatre ā Gardens Entrance (Scottish National Gallery) TomorrowĀ 1st SeptĀ 12:45 ā 1:30
