Great Escapes is going on the road!
Since setting up in Dartmouth a year ago, a team of marine biologists and wildlife guides have been busy leading shore walks, running boat trips, and introducing hundreds of people to the wonders of the Devon coastline. Now they want to bring that experience to you.
Wednesday 13th February 2013 at 8.00pm -9.00pm
Members of the team will visit the
Royal Plymouth Corinthian Yacht Club to deliver a lecture on the extraordinary environment that is the sea and the shore of South Devon. This is a fully interactive experience, with images and footage from encounters with creatures great (dolphins, basking sharks, grey seals) and small (peregrine falcons, crabs, and limpets!), as well as hands on examples of life to be found on the sea shore. With the aid of video microscopes, power point presentations, group activities and hands on learning, they can open the eyes of even the most experienced rock pooler.
Their ultimate aim is to educate, energise and enthuse a whole new group of people. Not everyone can get to the seashore, so they will bring the seashore to you!

A new play by Bill Scott, lyrics & music by Tom Adams
When power is cut off from the Eternalife cryonics facility, Frank must race against time to construct a superhuman of epic proportions that can carry the precious genes of the rich and famous into the future.
His cut and paste creation is a hideous mistake. Feared by its creator, shunned by the world, the monster takes revenge. It craves the one thing it can never have...
Told with the visual flair of early cinema and the elegant charm of the post-war British musical, this silly, but tender, story of unrequited love, confused monsters and science gone mad promises to hit the spot, whether you’re a lover of traditional pantomime or looking for an alternative this winter.

Ula Dajerling, Dark Materialism
26 Jan 2013 - 28 Mar 2013
How are things formed or transformed from one state to another? This question is central to Dajerling's process.
Ula Dajerling, Dark Materialism
26 January – 28 March
Dark Materialism is the first solo exhibition by London-based artist Ula Dajerling. Her new and recent sculptures are presented in the gallery as well as a commissioned installation.
For Dajerling, the actions involved in producing her sculptures are significant. Her exploration of form and the transformation of matter from one state to another are central to her process. The qualities of objects, such as negative space and weight, provide physical substance to her ideas. The artist’s primary interest with form is that which resembles nothing - ‘formless’. She uses formless to refer to the base materials that constitute all living beings as well as unfathomable concepts such as the primordial chaos.
Repeatedly Dajerling employs heating and cooling in the making of her sculptures, procedures that reflect both natural phenomena and industrial systems for extracting and utilising raw materials. The amorphous sculptures that emerge embody the artist’s process and her concerns. The carefully selected objects, materials and methods reveal an important subtext; their role in social and economic history,
as products or by-products of human production informs the work.
Embedded in the actions and materials are personal histories. To create the sculpture Amnesia and Oscillation, Dajerling reenacted a fortune telling ritual still used in her Polish homeland today, which
involves pouring hot wax into cold water. The shapes that emerge are used to predict the unpredictable and illuminate that which has not yet formed.
This exhibition has been made possible with support from the Polish Cultural Institute.
