11:15pm – 12:45pm: Poetry with Emma McGordon
We are extremely happy to welcome back Emma to the Dragon Café for another of her poetry sessions. Emma’s sessions are a fun, engaging and accessible way of exploring writing your own poetry. Emma’s use of free writing and poetic form makes this an ideal workshop for everyone, from beginners with no experience of writing poetry to seasoned writers. Emma is a multi-award-winning writer and performer. Much of her writing and spoken word is semi-autobiographical. Emma takes pride in being close to vulnerability and truth in her work.
1pm – 2:30pm: Southwark Playhouse at The Dragon Café.
We are very pleased to welcome The Southwark Playhouse to the Dragon café for the first of a series of sessions they will be delivering at The Dragon Café in 2025. If you are interested in any area of theatre from writing, improvisation, acting, voice work, theatre devising, and performance then these sessions are definitely for you.
2:30pm: Food served:
This week we will be continuing with the MFC menu. Expect lots of fresh and healthy options, including an assortment of salads, fruit, fresh breads, olives, finger foods, and much more.
3pm – 4:45pm: Capturing Nature With Light: A creative stroll and Cyanotype workshop with artist Wendy Scott.
Join artist Wendy Scott for a creative stroll around some of the streets and green spaces surrounding the venue. We will be collecting materials along the way and then returning to St Peters for a Cyanotype Workshop. This early form of photography will enable us to create photographic art pieces inspired by our sketches, rubbings and found materials.
5pm – 6pm: Singing Group
In this session participants are invited to come together in celebration of the positive impact of singing and the voice. This session facilitated by our singing lead Vivien Ellis will be an energy filled journey through a mix of singing and vocal styles. From sea shanties to old English chants, choral favourites written by the singing group and some improvised rounds and soundscapes. There is something in this session for everyone.
All are welcome and we look forward to welcoming you to The Crypt at St Peters. See you on Monday!
