You could get more of an insight at the Salon del Eccentrica, an Eccentric evening at the Broomhill Art Hotel, Barnstaple on Thursday, 2 comments - ()Totnes, you know the constituency of everyone’s favourite mansion-owning MP, Anthony Steen, will be the setting a protest against the BNP’s Euro Election gains today (June 13). A few things over on D+CFilm have caught our eye this week, not least South West Screen’s notion that naming something after a Devon myth alienates people from up-country. Are you talented Tenor? Dartington International Summer School is looked for one to be the dastard Pinkerton in Madam Buterfly. Just two days to go for the European and the county election and we’ve got more election messages that could fit in a Tweet, and some evidence that the Devon election is simmering up nicely. Animated Exeter is more than just watching cartoons, there’s a whole programme of workshops and development to ‘increase the awareness of animation and the digital moving image’. Plus it’s a whole lotta fun. Now the festival is after an education and training officer to assist in its work with schools, colleges and young people It’s day two of Walk to School Week, and this year’s theme, Walk ‘n’ Talk, is giving rise to a Devon County Council competition to design a cartoon journey to school which features a speech bubble conversation. It all sounds like a great photo-story opportunity to the former ‘Jackie’ readers in the PRSD offices.

The Devon Arts in Schools Initiative (that’s DAISI to you) is after a project manager with a hieroglyphic salary of 0.8 FTE @ £19,801 p.a. pro rata, which could sound like a lot – we haven’t been able to work it out. There will be a compost giveaway in Victoria Woodholme car park in Buckfastleigh on Saturday, April 25 – but get there early, apparently it goes like… something… off a shovel. The parade’s on! A parade, which will also celebrate Lammas, will mark the start of Exeter Summer Festival, and incorporate large-scale sculptures, banners, masks and music from schools and communities throughout the city. 1 comment - ()Fancy a career as a vet, in a zoo? Paignton Zoo is running the Zoo Vet Experience on Wednesday, April 15 and Thursday, April 16. Devon dancers have been limbering up for World Dance Day, on Wednesday, April 29, by creating something to pass on to their community dance groups. |
