welcome

Thank you for all the positive feedback we have received for the first issue of the new

Ropewalk Magazine, you have spurred us on to produce a second! putting together a publication that encompasses all that we do at The Ropewalk is a lot harder than you might think. Starting with a blank page it soon becomes apparent that the difficult decision is going to be what to leave out.

So ahead is the condensed version of what is happening over the next three months. If you need more of a Ropewalk fix why not have a look at the website or follow us on twitter and Facebook. Both ropery Hall and the ropewalk have a presence on these media platforms and as long as I don’t run out of things to say (something that’s never happened before) there will be updates on what we are up to and what’s new.

all involved in the arts world at a regional or national level are bracing ourselves for arts Council england announcements of funding reduc-tions in the very near future. at the ropewalk we put that to the back of our minds and indulge in a three month celebration of the arts with all that is uplifting in exhibitions, creative workshops film, music, theatre, comedy and even food (a staff table is already booked for the pudding Club on 5th may)

take my word for it nothing makes you feel more culturally fulfilled than five bank holiday opportuni-ties to visit quality art exhibitions, four delicious puddings, three Chekhov shorts, two comedians from other parts of the world and a festival of the guitar

liz BennetManaging Director

pS I know there are four Chekhov shorts on offer but I couldn’t think of anything for three.

In this new edition of Ropewalk Magazine we take a look at contemporary glass featuring

makers who are distinctly different.

From their workshop in Pately Bridge duo Andrew Sanders and David Wallace work together to produce an interestingly diverse range of studio glass such as perfume bottles, vases, bowls, drinking glasses, candle sticks and paper weights all from recycled glass. Despite having worked together for such a long time, Andrew and David have managed to maintain their individual creative identities, finding personal inspiration in subjects as diverse as the land-scape, architecture, the sea and even bubbles in the bath.

Stuart Akroyd is one of the most accomplished contemporary glass-makers of his generation. With carefully controlled skills and preci-sion Stuart is able to create individual pieces of glass which are defined through a dramatic use of colour and creative interpretation of natural forms. His work is exhibited exten-sively throughout the United King-dom and worldwide

Dawn Bache came across lamp worked glass whilst doing an experimental glass course in Germany and immediately became fasci-nated with the process of making beads out of molten glass. “My beads are like small palettes of colour and each one is different and yet within a piece of jewellery they relate as a whole. Glass beads can resemble sweets and I want my beads to appeal to the senses and awaken the instinct to taste. I have always been attracted to translucent and opaque materials and its potential to be evocative. In making glass jewellery I have the opportunity to continue exploring this fascination.”

exhibitions

ropewalk Studio artist michael Scrimshaw presents his second solo exhibition

in the artspace this spring. Some of you may remember his 2007 show “the Giant Sleeps” which featured a four metre high mechani-cal man with an animated arm so michael certainly has something to live up to. In this new exhibition michael uses the forms of sculpture, drawing and paint to explore the idea of “things that make us tick”.

He explains that his new show will be about “things that I find interesting about what makes us tick. It is about the values, memories, experiences that we choose to carry with us, that we use to define who and how we are.”

“michael dislikes being pigeonholed as a sculptor or painter as he believes that there are no hard divides between disciplines and has found his works in various media inform each other,” said the ropewalk’s Exhibition Officer

Richard Hatfield. “This is evident in his art, whether 2D or 3D which emphasises his own distinctive style.”

michael has exhibited widely in recent years including successful solo shows at east Coast School of art and Design and abbey Walk Gallery in Grimsby. He also featured in abbey Walk’s ‘out of the Dark’ exhibition in 2010 which included other works by artists such as picasso, Dali, Hirst and emmin. His work sells regularly, which is always a bitter sweet happening for michael who puts so much into his art that it

is always difficult for him to let go.

Things that makes us tick opens on april 23 and continues until

may 29,

Things that make us tick

“through abstract meandering of tiny things noticed, impressions of shared moments of what makes us all who we are.

In our Element

Lindum textile artists are a collective of con-temporary designer/

makers who have a diversity of practice and approach.

established in 2000 in Lin-colnshire and now drawn from a wide geographi-cal area, the Lindum textile artists have an individual approach to art, drawing on their experiences, emotions and expertise, to create a range of visually exciting and stimulating textile art.

In our element is a new col-lection of member’s work showing their broad range of textile media.

the show opens in Gallery one on april 30 and continues until June 5.

Humber to The Wash

this June both ropewalk galleries will be devoted to our open art com-pletion, Humber to the Wash. the biennial show draws artists from the region ranging from Bridlington in the north to the southerly depths of deepest norfolk.

the two guest selectors who have the unenviable task of deciding which works to include are both practising artists: Hilary angle who is based in pocklington and Scunthorpe painter and tutor Letitia thompson. there are a number of prizes on offer including the Selector’s prize of £400 and three runner-up awards of £100 each donated by our sponsors, Grimsby Institute, the proudfoot Group and Cooke Webster & Co.

the show runs throughout the summer from June 18 to September 4. artists wishing to exhibit can download entry details from our website www.the-ropewalk.co.uk


workshops

the ropewalk run a number of one day and regular classes so whether you are interested

in developing your skills over a number of weeks and months or just want a taster day to learn a new technique we have something for you. Full details of all the classes are available on our website or in person at the craft gallery reception desk.

this quarter we have two glass workshops led by one of the rope-walk’s studio artists Gill Hobson. Gill has an impressive CV with inter-national shows and commissions as well as works in private and public collections in the uK. Gill’s signature glass works feature richly intricate combinations of hand-blown crystal glass elements with complex metal work. Detail, colour and light are key aspects of each work.

Gill leads accessible workshops allowing beginners an opportunity

to work with glass for the first time or to build on previous experience. on april 30th Gill will be leading her ever popular glass light catcher workshop where participants use a variety of coloured glasses, wire, solder, beads & other objects to design & create a unique glass artwork. participants will be introduced to the basic techniques needed to achieve a beautiful & original finished piece, including glass cutting, copper foiling, soldering, patination and finishing. Following that on may 14 Gill will be leading a coloured glass lantern class which will guide the participants to make a 3D glass lantern using constructed glass techniques. a development of Gill’s ever popular “Glass Light catchers” workshops, this is an opportunity to extend skills and create an original piece that is both useful and beautiful.

comedy

8 Ropewalk Magazine www.the-ropewalk.co.uk

this Spring ropery Hall welcomes the return of two of comedy’s rising stars

with an international flavour. Both patrick and Henning were hits with the audience and backstage with the ropery Hall staff.

patrick monahan is an irrepress-ible comic with a mischievous glint in his eye and an infec-

tious personality that quickly wins over any audience. He is a young man with a future who is equally at home performing in front of children as well as a more adult crowd; in fact I don’t think he needs much encour-

agement to perform anywhere.

a mixed parentage of an Irish father and Iranian mother combined with a middles-brough upbringing provides an untouched rich seam of comedy

– titles of previous tours include ‘Cowboys and Iranians’ and

‘I Walked I Danced Iran’ - patrick has been known to show off his Iranian dancing

skills. He also has the ability to follow quite random threads of audience led banter and manage to keep it funny and above all entertaining.

His face has started to appear

on television screens with appear-ances on the paul o’Grady Show and CBBC’s Sorcerer’s apprentice and was a regular warm up for Jonathan

ross, following in the footsteps of that other Barton favourite alan Carr

(whatever happened to him?). I am sure that this is only the beginning and we will all see

a lot more of patrick monahan.

many of you may have already come across Henning Wehn on radio

4 as a regular guest panellist on ‘unbelievable truth’, news Quiz and ‘now Show’. or some of you may have seen his previous per-formance at ropery Hall alongside the funniest man from Dusseldorf, otto Kuhnle with their German Christmas Do. But the self-pro-claimed German Comedy ambas-sador is back and this time he is doing what he does best in his own stand-up uK tour with the intriguingly titled ‘my Struggle’. “It’s about the right old struggle that is life as the German Comedy ambassador”, says Henning.

Suffice to say that his act plays upon the cultural stereotypes and differ-

ences between our two countries and the status of the “German sense of humour” “It’s a win-win situation, isn’t it? either audiences enjoy what I do, or the stereotype has been confirmed.” Henning Wehn knows how to press the buttons and touch the nerves of his english audiences with subjects that include World War II, (‘allo ‘allo anyone?), football (three world cups and a pope) and an insight into english politics and way of life. His comedy is fearless, entering into areas of comedy that only he can get away with and ably demonstrates that he can push his material to the limit and still keep the audience on side.

If you thought the winter season of films at Ropery Hall came to an end at the end of

March then there is good news!

the Barton Film Group has extended its film season at intermittent intervals until the beginning of June.

The film that everyone is talking about, the oscar and BaFta winning film, The King’s Speech will be screened on thursday, may 12.

Based on the true story of how the King, George VI, sought help to cure his stammer the film is neither triumphalist nor sentimental. Its themes are courage, responsibil-ity, and the necessity to place duty above personal pleasure.

Colin Firth has been lauded for his portrayal of the King with many awards and watching the film it is not hard to discover why.

the Black Swan, which is to be screened on may 26, has received widespread acclaim and leading lady natalie portman won an oscar for her performance. Based on the story of Swan Lake, Black Swan is a mesmeric and absorbing drama set against the competitive backdrop of a top ballet company that veers between being dis-turbing and enchanting.

The film is complex, dark, exhila-rating and vibrant, with director Darren aronofsky (who also made the Wrestler) creating a

film

Not to be missed


vibrant, often intoxicating drama rich in music, mood and menace. Black Swan is a powerfully potent psychological drama.

Two additional films are aimed at the younger film goers.

on thursday april 21 Spiderwick Chronicles (pG) is being screened at 2.30pm while on thursday June 1 Harry potter fans will be delighted to note that Harry potter and the Deathly Hallows: part 1 (12) has two screenings at 2.30pm and 6.30pm.

April - June 2011 11

Barton Film Group would like to thank everyone who has attended the programme so far this year. Our audience has grown sufficiently to make the film showings viable allowing us to continue. We hope you enjoy these few extras before the summer break and look forward to welcoming you again in the autumn when we will be bringing the best of 2011 releases and some classic oldies. As always if you have a desire to see a film let us know and we will try and include it, I’m looking forward to True Grit, my autumn pick.

chekhov’s Shorts


“

“

european arts Company’s production of ‘Chekhov’s Shorts’ is fast paced, witty and engaging. richard Latham, Daniel Harcourt and Jennifer Bryden complement each other well and are all so versatile that it is hard to believe there are only three of them.The Stage

european arts Company has really done a fantastic job of bringing out all the humour and energy whilst at the same time reflect-ing all the drama and classic beauty which is synonymous with Chekhov. this made for a wonderful performance which would delight any Chekhov afficionado, as well as those out for a good laugh with some raucous vaudeville entertainment to boot. local Secrets

If you thought Chekhov was all doom and gloom – think again!

and on Wednesday, may 18, actors from the european arts Company will prove that Chekhov did have a sense of humour when they present five short pieces the Russian play-wright wrote before the full length plays we are all familiar with.

the quite delightful the evils of tobacco, the Dimwit, the Bear, Swansong and the proposal combine all of the tragi-comic elements of Chekhov’s longer plays with the silliness of a sketch show. If you’ve ever thought Chekhov was too dull, miserable and russian to endure, come and see this hi-lariously bittersweet evening and we’re sure you’ll think again.

Chekhov is the second most popular playwright in the world after Shakespeare and is on the national curriculum for GCSe and a Level Drama so the evening will also appeal to young people and schools, as well as the general public.

In fact, this show has been described as “a perfect introduction to the wonderful world of Chekhov.”

this is Chekhov at his comic best, before uncle Vanya started shooting, the Seagull got stuffed, the three Sisters started moaning and the Cherry orchard was “car-parked!”

Tickets cost £8 in advance and £10 on the door.

Sheer indulgence, three nights and one afternoon of total guitar! musical director for the

festival mark Keable has been in his element selecting the acts for this the first Guitar Festival at Ropery Hall but he’s managed to whittle it down to nine acts and Liz has thrown in a Jazz great as the opener.

Martin Taylor, guitar virtuoso of international impor-tance, opens the festival.

Steve Tilston has been described as, an artist of “stylistic versatil-ity and consummate musical-ity,” “a complete guitarist,” “a singer songwriter of rare talent” and “absurdly accomplished.”

Dave Swarbrick teamed up with martin Carthy in 1966 and together they played an important part in the blossoming British folk music scene. In 1969 after playing on the ground-breaking Liege & Leif album Dave was invited to join Fairport Convention full time. Dave stayed with Fairport for 15 years and his contribution to Folk and rock music is legendary and well documented.

Chris Sherburn & Denny Bartley have been bringing their unique sound to audiences across europe and america since the early 1990s. Known for their soul stirring songs, exhilarating tunes and a love of the craic, Chris (concertina) and Denny (vocal and Guitar) ensure that no two concerts are ever the same.

Steve Skaith Band. Steve was the singer and co-writer of the band Latin Quarter, best known for the 80s hit single –‘radio africa’ and their collaboration with the Zimba-bwean group, the Bhundu Boys in the 90‘s. In 1999 after six albums, the band finally split up and Steve went to live in mexico where he met and formed the Steve Skaith Band with mexican musicians. Since returning to the uK in 2007, Steve has been playing with British musicians.

paul liddell is already somewhat a veteran of the acoustic music world, having released two solo albums and an ep, and an ep with his band ‘Delphians’. paul is an experienced live performer his raw and unpre-tentious delivery combined with the use of live sampling, guitar percussion and layered vocal harmonies provide a great platform for his wonderful songs to shine.

Marcus Bonfanto Trio, marcus is a blues artist whose road-hardened song writing, eviscerat-ing vocal delivery and flick-knife guitar stylings has led to several British Blues award nominations.

walter Strauss Blame it on rawlins, Wyoming. Fingerstyle guitar wizard Walter Strauss was born out there in the big open, and was seduced to look to the vast spaces of the american West for his musical inspiration. He mas-terfully weaves threads of world music, american roots, and jazz into a brand uniquely his own.

Chantell MacGregor Chantell achieved a First Class Honours degree in popular music in July 2009 from Leeds and formed rock blues trio, the Chantel mcGregor Band this will be a

rare opportunity to see this out-standing performer as a solo artist.

live music @ Ropery hall

regular attendees of ropery Hall often ask “how do you find all of these diverse

performers?” the answer is simple mark Keable and I love music and delight in finding performers that are new to the venue as well as inviting back our favourites. a rough rule of thumb is that mark takes care of the Folk, americana and guitar-ists (more of that on page 14) whilst I look at Jazz, World, the quirky and anything else that takes my fancy!

april to June sees another programme of top drawer perform-ers, pick out old favourites or try something new. all we ask is that you support live performance. my highlights are not so easy to choose, it all looks good to me! amy Wadge and pete riley together are getting a great deal of critical acclaim. Clive Gregson is a singer songwriter who can bring the everyday to life with his guitar. and Snake Davis returns with a new band line-up, playing two consecutive nights on Friday april 1st and Saturday 2nd.

From new York the WIYoS make their second visit. The first time they came mark described them to me with difficulty and just told me I would like them. He was right and having seen them I am also unable to adequately convey their style except to say their eclectic mix of instruments and references leaves you smiling and wanting more. Imagine ‘Is you is or is you aint my baby’ sung through a megaphone and you are on your way to prohibition speakeasy america with a contemporary twist.

When writing about Vin Garbutt I

couldn’t decide whether to put him on the comedy page or the music one. Vin has been to Barton several times in the past 15 years and whilst the jokes remain the same his music still feels relevant deeply rooted as it is in the folk tradition. tickets will sell out quickly for this gig, don’t miss out on a folk legend who doesn’t take himself too seriously.

two great song writers from across the pond are paid tribute to in late may with Canadian Leonard Cohen’s work brought to life by Keith James and a couple of days after his 70th birthday Blond on Bob make a first appearance at ropery Hall with the life and works of the great american song-writer Bob Dylan.

Finally Carol Kidd, a lady whose voice has been praised by everyone who matters from Frank Sinatra to the late Sir Humphrey Lyttelton will give an intimate perfor-mance. Back after a break from live performance this Scottish born jazz diva winner of no less than four British Jazz vocalist of the year awards is a must see for anyone who likes their jazz full of emotion with a seemingly effort-less smooth delivery.

enjoy!
