A performance by the participants of the Summer School 2009

Private View - A performance by the participants of the Summer School 2009.
Created and Directed by Mem Morrison

Private View is a performance created in and for the 1930\'s theatre of Toynbee Studios. The nine participants from Artsadmin Summer School 2009 have explored what you might see or expect to see in this striking Art Deco theatre. In a search for new and unexpected ways to use the space, Private View emerges from the personal histories inhabiting this historical space.

This year\'s summer school is the third and final one led by Artist and Director Mem Morrison, and will culminate in a chance to share and celebrate the work of the past three years with participants from each year.

Thursday 13th and Friday 14th August, 7pm

Toynbee Studios, 28 Commercial Street, London E1 6AB
Free, limited capacity

We believe there is nothing better than singing songs with your friends, family and close neighbours - it really brings the festive season to life.

Sing for us this winter and you’ll be raising vital funds to help thousands of terminally ill patients spend a more comfortable and memorable Christmas surrounded by their loved ones.

I am one of the Marie Curie Nurses that work throughout the Christmas holidays giving terminally ill patients the choice to spend this special time with family and friends in the comfort of their own home. With support from you and your fellow singers we can make this Christmas even more memorable for hundreds of patients.

Sing out for Marie Curie is open to all choirs, whatever your level, age, size or style of singing. It could be held in your local church, town hall, shopping centre or out and about in your local community. You can hold it anytime over the Christmas period, the choice is yours.
