The Royal Ballet MANON

The Royal Ballet MANON Via Satellite In the seedy underbelly of 18th-century Paris, money is king. Nothing is sacred – even love itself can be bought for the right price. A native of this hedonistic underworld, Manon is caught between twin desires when she falls in love with the student Des Grieux. Steadfast and devoted, he offers the possibility of an honourable life. Yet, the riches promised by the world of Parisian society remain tempting… Manon’s inner turmoil and struggle for survival lie at the devastating heart of Kenneth MacMillan’s 1974 adaptation of Abbé Prévost’s novel. In this signature work of The Royal Ballet, MacMillan’s nuanced understanding of human psychology makes for an unflinching look into the moral degradation of Manon’s Paris, while all its decadence and decay are brought to life through Jules Massenet’s score and Nicholas Georgiadis’s designs. Natalia Osipova performs the Act II solo in Kenneth MacMillan’s Manon

A Sudden Glimpse to Deeper Things

One day in 1949, a young Scottish painter climbed a Swiss glacier. The experience rewired her brain and transformed her art. A member of the St Ives group, Barns-Graham was synaesthetic, her mind linking letters, names and people to particular colours, and the paintings that resulted from her encounter with the glacier formed an emphatic [...]

Residential Writing Course: Memoir/Place (Fiction and Non-fiction)

Workshops & Classes

Around £995

Residential Writing Course: Memoir/Place (Fiction and Non-fiction)

The stories we tell – be they fiction, journalistic non-fiction, memoir, or a hybrid form – all take place somewhere. A work may not be about a place, but a work is brought to life when the reader has a sense of place. This course will examine how to transform a landscape from something passive we might gaze at to something we have an active conversation with: something that speaks through us as writers, and speaks to our readers. Join acclaimed authors Jade Angeles Fitton and Tom Vowler to learn how they capture the essence of place in their work, and explore the overlooked places within us and without us when it comes to our own writing. How can a place act as a metaphor or personality a character or allegory in its own right? How do we evoke place, and ensure fair representation of the place and the people we are writing about? Your tutors will encourage you to develop your ideas, characters and environments through writing exercises, reflective practice and diverse readings, with The Hurst’s woodlands and gardens from which to take inspiration. Whether you are just embarking on or are midway through a project, and whether you are working in fiction, non-fiction or hybrid forms, this promises to be an immersive, inspiring week that will demonstrate how ‘place’ is the bedrock of our experience, and how we can translate that to the page.
