Pupils and parents of Jubilee and Lauriston Primary Schools explored London's cultural delights, and used this website to write about their experience, and share photographs of the city and their life.

Why why why have I never been to watch a Shakespeare play??..  Isn't it a wonderful thing to learn new things about our old English language even at my ripe old age !!!  Well I'm sure  this is the start of something new so thank you ABC.

My recent creative experiences

Written by nickcan | 05 January 2010

Back again. Ok, so what artistic thing can I write about?  Went to see Sandi Toksvig and Ronnie Corbett in Christmas Cracker at the South Bank...a weird mix of song, comedy, magic and audience participation. Completely mad but a good start to Christmas...like a panto but better as the cast seemed to be having the best time ever and there wasn't a star taking all the focus. Try it if its on next year.
Also saw the Anish Kapoor at the Royal Academy - fantastic! I waited for the big bloody wall to move through the galleries. Extraordinary, I'm not sure what it means but it was mesmorising; slow, powerful, strong, silent. Is it about taking over the lives of others? Is it meant to be about blood/war/threats? Or does it have an altogther less sinister meaning? The orange wall was truly amazing, shining and strong and really drew me in. If its still on then go and see it...but don't find out what things are meant to represent - just go and let the experience wash over you; let things be what you want them to be!

My friend was singing with the Diversity choir at South Bank on the same bill as Ronnie Corbett! I love the way the video is working with the blog entry. Great to hear the conversation between you both smilies/smiley.gif

"Going to the dance was a fantastic experience. My grandmother who was very formal and austere used to take me to the ballet and i absolutely hated it"
The dance workshop and Sadlers Wells by ivan and chrissie

"I think what i have learnt the most about this project is.......wait for it....is SELF BELIEF. If an artist or anyone, writes, sings, dances or sculpts etc and believes they have done a good job, well thats all that matters....i have doubted myself in the past, lacked believing in myself and what i can achieve....”

"We have decided to take Ryan and Naombh somewhere at least once a month and have figured that with our children its best sometimes just to get on a bus or tube and just see what's going on ,sort of exposing them to the arts accidentally there is so much to see and do"
