FRIDAY 19TH DECEMBER
TO CELEBRATE THE WINTER SOLSTICE, AN INSPIRING EVENING OF CONVERSATION, STORYTELLING AND MUSIC.
Join Not Quite Light, for a live performance of storytelling, poetry and live music as we reach the shortest day of the year.
To help us celebrate the winter solstice, we welcome sound and performance artist Fiona Brehony & musician and composer Simon Knighton who will present a beautiful, atmposheric sound piece.
PERFORMANCE 7pm-8.30pm
The studio will open at 7.00pm ready for the performance to begin at 7.30pm. There are just 16 places, creating a unique, intimate atmopshere. We’ve done two of these now, and the feedback has been wonderful, people really do have a lovely time.
Ticket includes two drinks ( wine, beer or soft drink ). Feel free to BYO too…
Following on from the performance, there is no need to rush off.
Stay for a while, and enjoy a NQL Christmas Social in the studio, with music and more projections…
SUNDAY 21ST DECEMBER
DAWN PHOTOWALK 6.45am – 8.15am
Join Not Quite Light for a contemplative dawn walk, exploring the quiet streets around Sacred Trinity church in Salford, and the surrounding Blackfriars area as the day begins. This is the weekend of the winter solstice, the shortest day, after which we being our journey to the summer months. The walk will be suitable for all levels. I’ll be on hand to offer tips and inspiration for photographs. The walk is suitable for any level, and you can bring any kind of recording device – smartphone, dslr or film cameras, or even no device at all if you simply want to stroll and absorb the sights and sounds arround you. The walk is about giving ourselves permission to slow down and closely observe the world around us.
WINTER SOLSTICE PHOTOWALK 2.30PM – 4PM
The solstice this year is 3.03pm, and so we’ll use this walk to celebrate the shortest day, and also the moment from which the days grow longer, and we head towards the summer months.
The walk will begin from the studio, and pass through the local area towards the Bolton / Bury canal. The walk is suitable for any level of photography, and I’ll be on hand to offer tips and discuss the local area, and its history. After the walk we’ll be able to spend sometime back at the studio, chatting about the photos we’ve taken and enjoying a cuppa…
