Arts Alliance Research Launch

Thursday 7th November, 6.00pm - 8.30pm, Southbank Centre, London, SE1 8XX

The Arts Alliance will be presenting the findings from a new research project carried out by Northumbria University (Charlotte Bilby & Louise Ridley) and Bath Spa University (Laura Caulfield). The research explores how various art forms such as music, visual arts and craft processes can contribute towards creating desistance. The launch of this research points to key recommendations for arts organisations working with offenders, government officials and commissioners. For more information and to book a place, visit the Arts Alliance website here
 

The Anne Peaker debate

Thursday 7th November, 6.00pm - 8.30pm, Southbank Centre, London, SE1 8XX

The findings will be followed by a panel discussion chaired by Kim Evans OBE (Clean Break). Kim will be joined by Professor Rodney Morgan (Emeritus Professor of Criminal Justice, University of Bristol) and Gerard Lemos (Lemos & Crane) along with other writers, academics and policy makers from the field.

Write to be Heard

The Awards close for submissions on the 1st November. We are encouraging participants to enter under four different categories:

• Writing for an audience under 10 - including poems, song lyrics, stories, modern nursery rhymes or even a short script for a play, TV programme or animation. 
• Writing with rhythm and rhyme - performance poetry, song lyrics, rap, limericks, odes, sonnets, to name a few.
• Writing to tell a story - short stories perhaps, including very short ‘flash’ fiction, or a novel, an extract of a novel or a chapter.
• Writing for more than one voice - such as comedy sketches, stage plays, drama and soap opera scripts.
