Porthleven Creative Arts Community PORTHLEVEN CREATIVE ARTS COMMUNITY January 2020 THE CREATIVE ARTS IN PORTHLEVEN Porthleven is now an attractive village with considerable charm and a vibrant economy but, if Porthleven is to raise its profile as the Cornish village which encourages and excels in creativity in the arts, then a holistic approach to the arts will be necessary. An impetus for this will be the promotion of the Porthleven Creative Arts Community (PCAC), members of which will share the following objectives: 1. Encourage creative art in all its forms in the Village and surrounding areas. 2. Establish Porthleven’s reputation as an innovative village renowned for creativity and its varied high-quality arts activities which make a significant contribution to the County of Cornwall. 3. Encourage arts-related projects which will increase opportunities for artists working in its various disciplines including the use of creative technologies, photography, performance arts, sculpture, painting and poetry - fully exploring the potential of a multi-disciplinary approach. 4. Encourage artists to live, work, create and develop businesses in Porthleven. 5. Increase the profile of individual artists connected with Porthleven. 6. Encourage the links of conventional expressions of art and advancing digital technologies in a spirit of entrepreneurship and innovation. 7. Provide opportunities for artists to engage and to sell work to both visitors and residents of Porthleven. 8. Encourage educational projects which will contribute to the objectives of the PCAC including the artistic use of digital technologies to create businesses, local prosperity and employment. 1 9. Encourage, wherever possible, the use of all available venues to accommodate performance and activities within the Village and in support of its local economy. 10. Promote conditions to enhance employment in Porthleven by creating suitable floor space environments which will encourage creative start- up initiatives and the development of innovative market solutions. 11. Support the creation of space for year-round public performance. 12. Create a performance amphitheatre with audience capacity for 400/500 in which summertime events alongside existing established village festivals and activities 13. Establish a new “Emerging Talent Festival” in conjunction with Falmouth and Bath Spa Universities to showcase specifically created productions over July and August each year. 14. Work towards the creation of a new annual Porthleven Arts Festival to take place in September to respect the timing of other events and particularly the established annual Food and Music Festival. It may prove possible for such a Festival to run for two consecutive weeks immediately following the Emerging Talent Festival once both become firmly established. 2 Creative Arts Projects A number of projects which reflect the arts community objective are currently envisaged. The PCAC will be invited to support these and its members may wish to contribute in such ways as may be open to them. The following are examples of these projects: 1. The Innovation Building 1.1 After months of negotiation, the planning application to build this important building was approved. The design now takes into account views advanced by Porthleven residents and business interests. The design will add to the eclectic character of the Village where harbourside buildings individually contribute to variety in scale, use, and appearance. With the exception of Bay View Terrace, every building is different. 1.2 The building itself will be an artistic contribution to the built heritage of Porthleven, will provide a casual, light dining venue with a part-covered terrace, an improved bus shelter, new public toilets and, on the upper floors, flexible floor space offering a creative and versatile environment in which advanced and advancing digital technology will stimulate and incentivise creativity to encourage today’s emerging entrepreneurs to establish profitable and artistically-influenced businesses creating employment and support for the local economy. This philosophy recognises current entrepreneurship which connects art and design with internet computer technology to develop business applications and digital projects. The accessible rooftop terrace offers a venue for casual events and summer dining. 1.3 The architect for the project is Duncan Isherwood of Sunderland Peacock and Associates Ltd. 3 2. The Band Room Public Performance Project 2.1 The Porthleven Town Band makes an important contribution to the life and culture of the Village and the Porthleven Harbour & Dock Company (PHD) has been pleased to support the Band for 40 years. It is disappointing that the Town Council has not been able to help the Band to achieve its ambition to build a Band Room but a solution has now emerged which will not only meet the Band’s requirements but will benefit other public performance objectives. 2.2 The Metalworks, currently housed in the Shipyard, has agreed to be relocated on the Tolponds site which is being developed by the Porthleven Harbour & Dock Company. 2.3 The architect who successfully designed the much-admired and popular cinema in Newlyn, has proposed plans to re-purpose and re-clad the soon to be vacant building and to provide a larger Band Room than previously contemplated with a seated audience capacity of over 200. This will be the home of the Band and also a venue for other music, dance, theatre performance together with cinema screen projection, all provided with appropriate support space and back-of-house facilities. The financial structure for this challenging and worthwhile project will embrace a long-term partnership between the Band, PHD and other users. The facility will broaden opportunities for local artists and performers and provide public enjoyment of the performing arts. The brief for the project includes the following: (a) a stage with screen backcloth for cinema projection; (b) a recording studio and small practice rooms for individual musicians; (c) additional space to allow other cultural and community activities to benefit by shared use of rooms; (d) wall space with state of the art hanging facilities to permit easy changing of exhibitions of specific artists’ work in the public areas; (e) a building of an architectural and acoustic standard to attract performances by other Cornish musicians; (f) the already strong reputation of the Band will be enhanced, encouraging more Porthleven people to engage and for young people to learn and understand the world and art of musical and theatrical performance; The Proposed Performance Venue housed within the refurbished and extended Metalworks 4 building in the Shipyard (g) the enlarged Band with its bigger reputation will add to the perception of Porthleven as the “Band Music Village of the South West”, having the Band linked to others and for other musicians to use the new facilities, not only for teaching and practice, but with the vital opportunity for public performance. Music will be central to the arts in Porthleven - essential to links with IMS Prussia Cove and the renowned Music Schools of Falmouth and Bath Spa Universities as well as the Hall for Cornwall and other magnets. Encouragement for teaching, composing and practice will be inherent in the concept; and (h) the opportunity on special occasions to screen performances onto an external screen will be possible. 3. Public Performance Amphitheatre 3.1 It had been hoped that an opportunity might exist for an amphitheatre to be created from the disused Quarry between the Wresting Fields and Beacon Crag Hotel but, without the cooperation of the Coode Estate, it is unlikely to be available. As an alternative, consideration is being given to alternative sites including the disused quarry area at Highburrow car park. If it is pursued with grant aid, the project would provide Porthleven with a smaller version of the Minnack Theatre encouraging strong links with music schools and the performing arts to the further benefit of the local economy as well as local community arts. At this stage, it appears probable that 400/500 seats with views of a performance stage against the panoramic backcloth of Mount’s Bay could be achieved. The amphitheatre would be able to stage an “Emerging Talent Festival” annually in July and August each year. 3.2 Already the Village has strong links with Bath Spa University. For five years, Porthleven has welcomed students on a two-week residency supported by the Trevor Osborne Charitable Trust. Valuable experience is gained by those who are selected and the Bath Spa Porthleven Prize is now a highly-regarded opportunity to work collaboratively across the disciplines of the arts. The University relates well to Falmouth University, which is also a Liberal Arts University, making significant advances in creative technology linked to conventional and contemporary art practice. Preliminary discussions suggest that the two Universities might work in a spirit of partnership with the PCAC. An enterprising element could be collaboration across the disciplines of the arts allowing groups to be formed within each University or jointly to create, in the third year of study, a “production for public performance” to be performed in a Porthleven amphitheatre before a paying audience. As a suggestion, and weather permitting, each such production would be staged twice with a matinee and evening performance over four or five agreed days in July/August by the team responsible for its creation. A full programme over the two months would require eight or nine productions to create the “Porthleven Emerging Talent Festival”. The potential for this enterprise to attract a TV series “The Emerging Talent Show” to broadcast all eight or nine productions over eight or nine weeks’ viewing with the audience able to vote for example: Best Production / Best Scenery / Best Dancer / Best Singer / Best Actor / Best Wardrobe / Best Music / Best Plot / Best Opera 3.3 The PCAC, together with other parties, will work to develop this theme to bring about such an important addition to the collective arts repertoire of the Village.

  • Morwenna Morrison CV
    MORWENNA MORRISON Arusha Gallery | [email protected] | 0131 557 1412 BIOGRAPHY Morwenna Morrison's predominantly oil on canvas works draw influence from a carefully curated collage of archival images. Morrison explains her work as being ‘an analysis of today’s social, psychological and political issues, set within historical context’. Taking as a base the salubrious works of historical landscape painting, the artist interweaves contemporary consumerist images into her painting. In doing so, the viewer is invited to nostalgically embrace the cultural mythos of the classical, neo-classical or Romantic. Morrison establishes a sort of narrative continuum between a world of commercial flight and the colonial verandas of the 19th century (‘n Infinite Summer), presenting her new historicism in beautiful, aesthetic calmness. Morwenna Morrison is based in Penzance. A graduate of the Exeter College of Art and Design’s Fine Art programme (1988), she has exhibited extensively across the UK as both a solo artist and a contributor to group shows.

  • Marazion to Porthleven
    Pure Cornwall’s favourite South West Coastal walk to Porthleven MARAZION TO PORTHLEVEN Length: 11 miles (17km) Grading: Moderate to strenuous Much of this walk through an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty offers fantastic views of Mounts Bay and the magical island and castle of St Michael’s Mount. Fairly easy, level walking allows time to enjoy the views, until the Path begins to narrow and rollercoaster over the cliffs up to and beyond Praa Sands. The stretch on the approach to the pretty fishing village of Porthleven is designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest. Highlights along the path: The ancient market town of Marazion, with its very active community of painters and potters. There has been a settlement here since 308BC and the town claims to be the oldest in Britain, and could be the settlement known to the Romans as Ictis. Views of St Michael’s Mount. Once a Benedictine Priory, a fortress and tin mining port, it can be accessed by a causeway at low tide or a ferry. Perranuthnoe: this fairly undeveloped village, which may actually date back to Roman times, has an interesting church dedicated to St. Piran, the patron saint of Cornwall. Look out for the Norman font and Norman stone heads surrounding the doorway. After a rest on the sandy beach, you may also want to pay a visit to the Victoria Inn which is reputed to be the oldest recorded inn in Cornwall, dating back to the 12th century. Prussia Cove: the headquarters of the famous smuggler John Carter and now the base for the masterclasses of the International Musician’s Seminar.

  • Just a Balloon Report Jan 2017
    Just a Balloon BALLOON DEBRIS ON CORNISH BEACHES Cornish Plastic Pollution Coalition | January 2017 BACKGROUND This report has been compiled by the Cornish Plastic Pollution Coalition (CPPC), a sub-group of the Your Shore Network (set up and supported by Cornwall Wildlife Trust). The aim of the evidence presented here is to assist Cornwall Council’s Environment Service with the pursuit of a Public Spaces Protection Order preventing Balloon and Chinese Lantern releases in the Duchy. METHODOLOGY During the time period July to December 2016, evidence relating to balloon debris found on Cornish beaches was collected by the CPPC. This evidence came directly to the CPPC from members (voluntary groups and individuals) who took part in beach-cleans or litter-picks, and was accepted in a variety of formats:- − Physical balloon debris (latex, mylar, cords & strings, plastic ends/sticks) − Photographs − Numerical data − E mails − Phone calls/text messages − Social media posts & direct messages Each piece of separate balloon debris was logged, but no ‘double-counting’ took place i.e. if a balloon was found still attached to its cord, or plastic end, it was recorded as a single piece of debris. PAGE 1 RESULTS During the six month reporting period balloon debris was found and recorded during beach cleans at 39 locations across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly shown here:- Cornwall has an extensive network of volunteer beach cleaners and beach cleaning groups. Many of these are active on a weekly or even daily basis, and so some of the locations were cleaned on more than one occasion during the period, whilst others only once.

An extraordinary year Inspiring ambassadors for seals Smashed expectations and targets It’s all change Highs and lows Amazing seal stories World record breakers Phenomenal teamwork COVID19 transformed our charity for the better forever. Annual Report 2020 At CSGRT we described 2018 as a landmark year, 2019 saw us riding a wave of success, which we managed to sustain in 2020 despite COVID19. People We began 2020 with 4 paid rangers. At the start of 2020, our Rangers and activities were funded by The People’s Postcode Lottery (Postcode Local Trust), Heritage Lottery Fund, Heritage Emergency Fund, Natural England, TEVI, LUSH Cosmetics, TESCO Bags of Help, Seal Protection Action Group, Polzeath Marine Conservation Group, Three Bays Wildlife, Animal Friends, Aspects Holidays, Fourth Element, Mungo Lils on the Hill, Rowes Cornish Bakers, The Bowgie Inn, SeaChangers, Waterhaul, The University of Exeter and our incredible volunteer fundraising efforts and donations.

Thanks to everyone’s huge generosity and a lot of hard work by our team, we surpassed our target and raised a total of £21963. In 2020, our part time Rangers were: • Amazement and Discovery/Photo ID Ranger (Marion Beaulieu) • Creativity and Activity Ranger (Emily Pollitt) • Retail Ranger (Joe Gray) • Sanctuaries at Sea Ranger (Sarah Millward) • Seal Research Ranger (Katie Bellman) CSGRT Marine Rangers Emily has moved on to pastures new and we have been joined by Joe.
