Dance Companions Pilot Research Activities
Dance Companions Pilot Research Activities Final Report and Recommendations for Pavilion Dance South West Evaluator & Report Author: Emma McFarland, eMc arts May 2016 Introduction The Dance Companions pilot was inspired by the Cultural Companions scheme managed by the Culture Office in Helsinki which provides volunteers (cultural companions) to accompany individuals to a cultural event or venue who otherwise find it difficult or who would prefer not to visit alone. The Dance Companions pilot aimed to explore, through desk research and small scale pilot activities, the potential to develop a Dance Companions scheme to engage greater numbers of older people in existing dance activities, as audiences or participants, in targeted locations in the South West. ‘Dance’ in this context includes commercial dance activity, social dance, dance in cinemas as well as participatory dance activity and subsidised performance. Two sites were chosen – South Gloucestershire and Plymouth – based on PDSW’s existing knowledge and contacts in these areas, a desire to pilot in different types of geographical area, synergy with locally based organisations’ objectives and local partners’ willingness to contribute some match funding to the pilot. The research began with desk research around similar programmes in other regions including: . Manchester Cultural Champions programme . Finland Art & Cultural Companions . Kirklees Culture Club, Scotland . Art & Opportunity Culture Companions programme, Belfast This research explored each scheme’s purpose, aims and ‘offer’, -
The Seven Ages of Musical Theatre: the Life Cycle of the Child Performer
UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON The Seven Ages of Musical Theatre: The life cycle of the child performer by Lyndsay Barnbrook A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Humanities Faculty School of Music April 2016 \A person's a person, no matter how small." Dr. Seuss UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON Abstract Humanities Faculty School of Music Doctor of Philosophy The Seven Ages of Musical Theatre: The life cycle of the child performer by Lyndsay Barnbrook The purpose of the research reported here is to explore the part played by children in musical theatre. It aims to do this on two levels. It presents, for the first time, an historical analysis of involvement of children in theatre from its earliest beginnings to the current date. It is clear from this analysis that the role children played in the evolution of theatre has been both substantial and influential, with evidence of a number of recurring themes. Children have invariably made strong contributions in terms of music, dance and spectacle, and have been especially prominent in musical comedy. Playwrights have exploited precocity for comedic purposes, innocence to deliver difficult political messages in a way that is deemed acceptable by theatre audiences, and youth, recognising the emotional leverage to be obtained by appealing to more primitive instincts, notably sentimentality and, more contentiously, prurience. Every age has had its child prodigies and it is they who tend to make the headlines. However the influence of educators and entrepreneurs, artistically and commercially, is often underestimated. Although figures such as Wescott, Henslowe and Harris have been recognised by historians, some of the more recent architects of musical theatre, like Noreen Bush, are largely unheard of outside the theatre community. -

L’Oréal admitted that Turlington’s image had been ‘digitally retouched to lighten the skin, clean up makeup, reduce dark shadows and shading around the eyes, smooth the lips and darken the 2 eyebrows’. The company also admitted that digital post-production techniques had been used on Roberts but maintained that the changes were not ‘directly relevant’ and that the ad was an ‘aspirational 3 picture’.

Collier's Powerful Welsh Cheddar First at Foursquare Submitted By: Coleman Roberts Communications Friday, 19 August 2011
Collier's Powerful Welsh Cheddar first at Foursquare Submitted by: Coleman Roberts Communications Friday, 19 August 2011 NEWS RELEASE 19 August 2011 Collier’s Powerful Welsh Cheddar first at Foursquare Collier’s Powerful Welsh Cheddar is the first cheese brand to exploit the location-based social network Foursquare. Wales’ award-winning cheese brand enjoys strong customer loyalty and was one of the first cheese brands to embrace social media channels such as Twitter and Facebook to engage with its customers. Foursquare allows users to share their location with friends by “checking in” to attractions, shops, restaurants and pubs via their mobile devices, and sharing “tips” or recommendations. They earn points for checking in and the highest number of “check ins” can lead to them being made the “Mayor” of the venue. Collier’s Powerful Welsh Cheddar, which is made in North Wales, is urging its Foursquare friends to “check in” at top Welsh tourist venues to discover the Welsh heritage that inspired the award-winning cheese. “We think it is important to have a two-way communication with our customers,” says Darren Gough, brand ambassador for Collier’s, "and word of mouth is still the most powerful marketing tool." Foursquare is essentially like word of mouth with people 'talking' via mobile phone and social media. Says Darren, “I love using Twitter to keep in touch with what’s going on and have my say. And now we have another way to reach the people who are interested in our cheese when they are on the move.” Visit Collier’s Powerful Welsh Cheddar on Foursquare at https://foursquare.com/collierscheese Note to editors: For more information, samples or pictures please contact Leigh Roberts on 01656 788336 or 07739 511466 or email [email protected] About Collier’s Powerful Welsh Cheddar Former cricket international Darren Gough is the brand ambassador for Collier’s Powerful Welsh Cheddar. -
