Another Another World is a poetic reflection on the transformation of St Ives, Cornwall, over the past 70 years. Inspired by the 1950s documentary Another World, this film revisits the town’s legacy as a haven for artists and fishermen, capturing the evolving identity of a place once romanticised for its idyllic simplicity. Another Another World explores the cultural shifts that have shaped St Ives – from the counterculture movement of the 1960s to the rise of surf culture in the 1970s and 1980s, the impact of housing booms and rural poverty, the decline of traditional industries, and its eventual global recognition in the art world. The film culminates in the present day, observing those who continue to live and create in the town. Written and narrated by Danny Fox and directed by Jackson Whitefield, Another Another World is not a remake but a conversation with its predecessor, offering a contemporary meditation on place, memory and change. Director Jackson Whitefield presents the premiere of his film, Another Another World as part of Danny Fox's exhibition, Kingdom, in The Levinsky Gallery.

Created by artist and sculptor Carole Vincent the artwork features a large sundial design and fountain. The artwork was commissioned by Plymouth City Council as part of the pedestrianisation of the City Centre in 1987. The work was officially launched on 22 July 1988 by Queen Elizabeth II and commemorates the ‘Armada 400’ celebrations in the city. (Image courtesy of Plymouth Herald image archive) Cast in concrete with Terrazzo and stainless steel, the sundial also features 12 plinths around the outside. Information panels on top of the stone plinths offer in detail ways to ‘read’ the sundial in a range of different languages. The information plinths were made a particular feature of in 2010 when they were covered with decorative textiles as part of ‘Mrs Smith’s hit on Plymouth sundial’ – a secret commission by Plymouth College of Art. Guerrilla textiles installed overnight to the surprise of the public! The sundial is set to G.M.T which differs in the summer (B.S.T) by one hour in advance. The sun is also due south in Plymouth 17 minutes later than it is at Greenwich; therefore at some points of the year the dial runs 1 hour 17 minutes behind G.M.T. About the Artist Carole Vincent (1939-2019) was an artist working in concrete. She lived and worked in Boscastle, Cornwall. Painter as well as sculptor, she explored the use of natural colour and texture in concrete for sculpture. Her work with pigments achieved remarkable success, opening new doors to architects, engineers and planners. Her passion was to work on commissions for specific environments, ranging from public spaces to individual buildings and gardens.

The 80’s gave us so much...Saved by the Bell, Top Gun, Goonies, Bon Jovi and Die Hard. It’s 1989 and you are invited to THE New Years Eve party to end all parties. Daniel and Ali seem to be the perfect couple and have invited friends and family to this celebration, but no one is that perfect and will everyone at the party still be alive by the end or is there a Lethal Weapon in the room. Fancy dress is not obligatory but if you want to dress up the all is good with us, so will you be Robocop? Ferris Bueller? Madonna? The Ghostbusters? The list is endless. We got away with a lot in the 80’s but will someone get away with murder? £64 per person Please note, tickets are non refundable. Information Source: Boringdon Hall Hotel | eventbrite

The Knowing Body takes a journey through movement, art and music exploring our inner physical rhythms and responses to the body’s impulse to move. It also looks at what happens when we find ourselves instinctively moving to the same collective rhythm, creating large scale artworks, using different medium and parts of the body. The Knowing Body is an interdisciplinary performance art event performed by the Plymouth Performance Art Collective. This work in progress investigates how rhythm plays an integral part within our daily lives individually and collectively, through internal and external influence including instinct and ritual. Long scrolled art works transcribed through the participation and observation of contemporary and improvised movement and dance has been interpreted by the performers creating a wealth of individual and collective movement material. An enquiry into the rhythm of sound and music informs the performers exploring how it can initiate and inspire through play and improvisation creating large scale spontaneous drawings and paintings. There is also the opportunity for audience members to try their hand at some impromptu collective drawing! Following the event the audience are invited to join an informal feedback discussion to meet the artists and find out more about the creative process. Feedback will be gratefully received, informing the future development of The Knowing Body . The Knowing Bod y is devised and directed by visual & dance artist Rosie Allen-Perdikeas.

The Womens and Teens Self-Defense Program is a comprehensive approach to safety training that includes awareness, risk reduction, posture and verbal skills as well as physical skills. It is meant to provide OPTIONS in the critical moments in which your personal space has been violated. It also aims to prevent assault against females and build confidence in their ability to stay safe. By cultivating the defensive mindset and the desire to fight for life, this program helps empower the female student from the inside out. This dynamic program allows the student to learn skill sets with a hands-on approach. Skills are demonstrated and explained, practiced through repetition with and without padded targets and are reinforced with physical simulation practice. Simulation practice means students use skills they have learned against a padded attacker with full force. This helps them realize their physical power and also reinforces their need to verbalize initially and throughout the exercise. Students are not left alone in any of these exercises and are coached through each step which provides a supportive environment for all women including those that have survived assault. This is a 1-day course, with 6 hours of both classroom instruction and practical work on the mat. Class is scheduled from 10:00am-4:00pm . Please note that refunds ARE accepted until one week prior to the session. There are NO REFUNDS for any reason less than one week out of the program. Cancellations must be requested by 5:00pm one week prior to the session. TICKETS ARE ALSO NOT TRANSFERRABLE. Thank you for understanding our staffing and registration needs to run an effective program. Wellness forms and information on the class will come to your email via eventbrite prior to the start date. Please check your spam or trash folder as many times this email will go there .
