Dave Wright: The influence of the arts on popular perceptions of historical icons such as Cleopatra or St. George 

Dave is an historian with many years experience of teaching and lecturing on European history.Dave_Wright_-_Portrait.jpg

He has long been fascinated by the significant influence the Arts have upon our view of history an the way they shape populay perceptions of historical icons.

He will deliver three talks, each focusing on a totemic figure from the past and will challenge their portrayal in the Arts.

Dave's talks are designed to be informative and authoritative, but also user-friendly and engaging. His enthusiasm for his subject is infectious,

THE ART OF DANCE 

Since the birth of the earliest human civilisations, dance has been an important part of ceremony, rituals, celebrations, a method of healing and a means of expression and entertainment.  Using stills and video clips we take a look at dance as an art form from its earliest beginnings; through the birth and rapid development of ballet throughout Europe, the explosion of modern dance in the early 20th century a time of unprecedented creative growth for dancers and choreographers and with the growth of post-modernism from the 1960s  the expansion of street dance, hip-hop, break dancing and rock dance.
