IT'S PARADE WEEK!
Today we have had some brilliant digital media students from @peter_symonds_college in the building doing work experience in a real community arts centre. Some of the students are also studying videography, graphics, art, costume and makeup and health and social care alongside media, so we have put their skills to good use, using marketing tools like @canva and @mailchimp to help create campaigns.
Another group worked through our costume store to organise things for the parade and future productions and another group have been designing and creating large scale puppets for Friday's @bstokefestival parade!!!

This project has been put together by @scratchbuiltproductions @y.b.creative with support from Proteus @aceagrams

REJOYCE! 'cos it's the weekend...and that just happens to be the name of one of the brilliant short films that we will be screening next Friday (13/06) as part of our PRIDE6 film night, so no, that wasn't a misspelling!

This comedy short from 2024 tells the story of an elderly vicar's wife who, after the death of her husband, re-discovers a book of erotic fiction that she wrote in her youth.

Check out the full film line up for the evening, on our website
