| Second-hand wings by Lauren Clemmet Posted: 29 Feb 2012 11:05 AM PST  The latest exhibition to go up on Project Space 1 (Located between GAP & Hollister in Midsummer Place Shopping centre, Milton Keynes) is ‘Second-hand wings’ by Lauren Clemmet 9th March - 10th April 2012 Lauren is a painter and photographer. In the past she has often produced work in which the subject matter has been autobiographical, exploring the perception of time using medical scans, x-rays and data, as well as a body of work based on water and other elemental forces. Her painting practice has a strong emphasis on process; dripping, pouring and layering paint, manipulating it in other ways as well as with a paintbrush to create the interwoven painted details and forms. This exhibition marks the beginning of a new series of work, which draws on flora and fauna as inspiration, in particular focusing on creatures with wings, especially birds. Lauren is interested in the feeling of freedom which flight can evoke, the letting go, leaving everything behind without a care in the world. Humans can walk, run and swim… but cannot fly without assistance of some kind. It is the apparent ‘lack of gravity’ that makes flight special and even with all the technology, it is something that is just beyond our fingertips. We hope you enjoy the exhibition. | ||||||||

| National Theatre Live Screening @ Cineworld - 1st March 2012 Posted: 25 Nov 2011 03:41 AM PST  In case you are unfamiliar with NT Live, we film live performances at the National Theatre in high definition and broadcast them via satellite to hundreds of cinemas around the world. It gives regional and international audiences the opportunity to see our work in their local cinemas, and engages thousands of people across the world in a live cultural event. See schedule below of confirmed screenings for the remainder of the '11-'12 season.
Collaborators is a new play by John Hodge (screenwriter of Trainspotting, Shallow Grave, The Beach) directed by Nicholas Hytner. The play centers on a surreal and disturbingly funny imaginary encounter between Joseph Stalin and the playwright Mikhail Bulgakov. Alex Jennings will play Bulgakov and Simon Russell Beale will play Stalin.
A funny and fascinating tribute to the Eastern European immigrants who became major players in Hollywood's golden age of cinema. Award-winning Antony Sher (Primo, Broken Glass) returns to the National Theatre in Nicholas Wright's new play.
This version of Shakespeare's The Comedy of Errors is directed by Dominic Cooke (artistic director of London's Royal Court Theatre), and stars the hugely popular comedian and actor Lenny Henry making his National Theatre debut.
One of the great, generous-hearted and ingenious comedies of the English language, Goldsmith's She Stoops to Conquer offers a celebration of chaos, courtship and the dysfunctional family with Katherine Kelly (Coronation Street). All performances will be show locally at the Cineworld in Milton Keynes: Milton Keynes Cineworld 602 Marlborough Gate Milton Keynes MK9 3AB Advance tickets can be purchased by calling 0871 200 2000 or online: http://www.cineworld.co.uk/cinemas/46?film=4578&period=advance Please let me know if you have any questions about any of our broadcasts.

They toured Britain and Europe with Jethro Tull and Procol Harum, gathering followers of every musical persuasion from their appearances with bands as disparate as Hawkwind, The Who, Fairport Convention and Roxy Music. They have remained a cult band since leaving their record company, Chrysalis, in 1974.

| MK Handmade & Vintage Weekend Extravaganza Posted: 16 Feb 2012 08:54 AM PST After their popularity last year, this huge event will be returning to thecentre:mk during 2012. The next one is 3rd & 4th March. Middleton Hall in front of John Lewis is transformed into a colourful treasure trove of over 100 large indoor market stalls, crammed with handmade and vintage everything. The rule is gorgeous, affordable one-off. It's now one of the biggest events of its kind in the country - and it's free entry. You'll find fashions, accessories, homewares, jewellery, furnishings, china, furniture, gifts and treats, collectables, home cooking, all manner of cool and quirky. Our talented designer-makers are picked for originality and quality. By buying direct, customers get a unique creation at the best possible price. You don't have to be a die-hard vintage fan to love our exciting vintage, retro, antique and upcycled stalls. With thrift being the new buzzword, our events are nothing if not purse-friendly too. You can pick up a unique beautifully made piece of clothing or furniture for a fraction of the cost of a high street mass-produced one. So these stalls are green too - ethical as well as economical, but always stylish. For those who like a unique style and the thrill of the bargain hunt, it is THE place to shop - but remember to allow yourself a good couple of hours to explore it all...

The repertoire spans jazz standards and pop songs of the past, French chanson and Latin American influences. Along with Janet's renowned vocal style and piano accompaniment, listeners can also enjoy the talents of guitarist Chuck Morgan and David Seidel on double bass. "With her intimate style, great feel for the lyrics of songs she sings, Seidel is one of those vocalists who is as much a story teller as she is a singer."

The second album, Traditional, followed soon after. His third album, Too Close, is set for release in 2012 with big, dramatic sounds and classic production underpinning Peter's jazzy vocals.
