We are a fully participatory forum which aims to cover a wide range of the arts - visual, literature, music, dance, architecture, film/tv etc. Each session will include a presentation and discussion of a topic chosen and presented by a member of the group. Presentations can take any form, reflect a cultural issue or draw on the personal experience or interests of the presenter. We hope to introduce members to new cultural areas as well as generate a lively exchange of information and views. It is essential that all members are prepared to present at least one topic during the two terms, enthusiasm and raising questions are more important than expertise and professional experience, although those are always welcome. Sometimes we maintain informal dialogue beyond the class including suggesting visits to local events.
