Rural Touring

This is the third film in the series from Transition Vision featuring artists on Take Art's rural touring Live scheme. This film features an interview with Louise Barrett of 'Pretty Good Girl Dance Theatre' Company and footage from her brave and beautiful show Luna - raising awareness and support for transgender issues among teenagers.

This is the second in the series from Transition Vision featuring the visiting artists to Somerset, thanks to Take Art's rural touring Live scheme.

Sedgemoor District Council has joined the trend in Somerset for arts budget slashing, cutting their provision to Take Art's rural touring scheme by an uncompromising 100% - a decision that will result in a drastic reduction in the amount of shows Take Art can offer Sedgemoor villages and communities.

Take Art has been working with local filmmakers Transition Vision to create a series of interviews and clips from this season’s Live Scheme.

This March Take Art are delighted to be touring Ben Osborne’s ground breaking Jurassic Journey to eight Somerset venues, a multi-media showcase that tells the story of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site, inspired by its geology, wildlife, culture, its people and its landscapes.

On Thursday 1 March, Take Art and ‘Pretty Good Girl Dance Theatre’ are bringing the brave and beautiful show Luna to Sexeys School in Bruton, with the aim of raising awareness and support for transgender issues among teenagers.

After drastically cutting the small arts grant fund last year from £35,000 to £20,000, Taunton Deane District Council are proposing to get the shears out again, reducing the budget by a further 40% (£8,000) in 2012/13.

Packed with events, shows, workshops and features the new Take Art Programme is just one click away.
