Free filmmaking workshop Mon 2 Aug - Fri 6 Aug! Sam Sampson, Learning Manager at CORN EXCHANGE & NEW GREENHAM ARTS is organising a workshop next week and is in desperate need of more participants. If anyone knows people who might be interested she would be very grateful if you can pass on this info to them.
During the week the participants will work with professional filmmakers from MWS media to create a documentary responding to the history of Greenham Common and specifically to Jessica Curry’s new choral work Perpetual Light, which draws on the background of the Cold War and nuclear technologies. Most of all, it’s an opportunity for young people to get creative and learn about filmmaking.
They’ve got places left and would like to fill them! Anyone interested in taking
part should contact Sam ASAP to bag a place:

Appeal for Photos & Programmes You will see that this site now includes photos from many past productions but there are several productions / shows where we have very few pictures or none at all, especially with The Players and The Young Theatre Groups. If you have pictures at home, either as hard copy photos or as image files, please let us know. We will scan / copy the pictures, return the originals to you and post the best ones to this site to give us a more complete archive of previous activities and events.
