11th March: I think everyone was pretty excited to go to the next LSO lunchtime concert, so I've pencilled that in. This week they're playing Beethoven- we'll meet at 12 Midday at Old Street Station- to avoid confusion let's meet in the little downstairs bit near the ticket booths. The concerts are free, by the by! Here's the website!
18th March: Grace has suggested we go to a graphic art fair called Pick Me Up at Somerset House - Concession tickets are £5 so bring your student card. Meet at 2 pm at the entrance. Website up here!
25th March: This is just a thought but I've just noticed a lovely exhibition at the Parasol Unit- Yinka Shonibare has created a beautiful ivy maze full of installations in the ground floor. The exhibition is called I Know Something About love and is free. Give me an email if it's something you fancy, meanwhile here's a bit more about it.
Last week we went on a fantastic visit to the St Luke's in Old Street to see the LSO Pianist Alexander Karpeyev play- the man is a literal prodigy type creature, he plays WITHOUT MUSIC some of the hardest pieces you could ever imagine, I mean he does practise around four to seven hours a day. Which is a pretty big commitment but even without that I mean if it were me I'd still have a shakey sweaty nervous breakdown a la Geoffrey Rush in Shine:
On the 4th, we went to go see Of Gods and Men (I think, don't have the ticket handy) at the Prince Charles Cinema- crikey is that value for money it's really worth signing up for a card you get £2.50 films! Handy tip for you.
Does anyone have any thoughts on the film? It was quite a nice experience seeing something you'd never heard of before, so when you sat down you really did have to work out what was happening- considering this was a film with what? 40% dialogue? That was no mean feat. I think it was beautifully filmed, and there were some scenes in it that were really emotive- especially when I finally worked out that they were waiting to be killed by the mujahadeen, that sort of explained bits for me.
What did everyone else think? Someone write a review!
We are a group of students at University of the Arts London who were so enamoured with our Criticism and Interpretation class that when it ended we decided to carry on the legend in the form of The Culture Club!
The group is for everyone at our uni, email us on culture_club@hotmail.co.uk if you'd like to join us on any of our excursions and we'll send you email updates! What fun :)
