This is an innovative project at St Elisabeth's. We are keen to see good art happening at St Es. This is because we value the creativity that God has given us. We value the way the arts help us to explore big spiritual issues in very connectable ways. We value the wider community making use of our facilities - you just never know where such links will lead!
How does this work in practice? The hope is that over the next couple of years we will see the building used in many creative ways building on what has been happening over the past couple of years.
Our Big Draw event has been a great sucess. Click here for more in depth details.
Our first season of dramatic arts productions has come to an end. April saw a fantastic production of 'Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat' and 'Jesus my boy' performed by local actor Rodney Hunt. We also hosted The Watoto Children's Choir and helped raise £1700 for the Watoto Community in the process - we're now partly refurbishing the stage for next year.
Several art groups make use of our facilities and it is a creative relationship between the Church community and these groups. Next year will see a new performance, exhibition and conference area open to the front of the building. This will be self-contained with catering facilities and access will be via stairs or lift so everyone will be able to see what's going on. This room is well lit and has a certain art noveau ambiance to it!
