Barton Arts Week – 26 June – 3 July 2010
‘Local interest’, ‘audience involvement’ and ‘generation wide’ are the buzz words for this year’s Barton Arts Week.
Ted Lewis’ art work, an illustrated lecture on Percy Grainger in Lincolnshire, toe-tapping music from the Ancholme River Jazz Band, Songs of Praise led by the New County Choral Society and a concert by award- winning Barton Town Band and their guest international tuba player Shawn Crowther.
There is a competition for poets, budding or otherwise, at our Poetry Slam and a workshop entitled ‘So you think you can’t sing!’ to prove you wrong. Come and have a go!
Blunderbus Theatre brings Giraffes Can’t Dance, an interactive puppet theatre performance for the under 10s.
“Barnfest Unplugged” is a unique opportunity to play and hear local and area guitar and band music.
Illyria returns with their outdoor performance of the passionate tragedy of Romeo and Juliet. Bring hankies as well as your usual chair and picnic. Schumann and Chopin are amongst the composers featured in a classical music concert and The Oxford Waits, dressed in period costume explore the seedier side of 17th-century English life with Rakes, Rogues & Bouncing Doxies
