Calling all drummers and dancers!
Your talents are needed at this year's Ashford Visual Arts and Architecture Festival!
Now in its fourth year, the public arts festival is offering people of all ages the chance to get involved in creating its programme of installations, and see them displayed in Ashford town centre throughout September.
This year's theme is Hidden Passages, and will explore Ashford's network of hidden, historic passages and alleyways, with a series of stunning art installations – all created with the help of the general public – set up in key locations around the town.
Sites and displays will include a textile weave of old photographs and documents through the railings of St Mary's Church, a 3ft long book of original stories in The Bull Yard, and a film installation in an ancient underground prison cell.
The festival will close with a spectacular performance in the town centre on September 26th, with drummers, dancers and free-runners converging on the bandstand for a colourful celebration.
There will be various art workshops and chances for the public to submit photographs, original writing and stories to the festival in July and August.
On Saturday 26th July, talented drummers and dancers can audition for a part in the festival's final celebrations, a special workshops being held at Create Music Festival 2009.
Anyone who thinks they have what it takes should come along to Noise Ensemble's audition workshop at Create (and enjoy great free live music while they are there!) at Victoria Park from 12noon.
