This Febuary Take Art was delighted to host the wonderful Caroline Horton and her show You're Not Like the Other Girls, Chrissie, which took place in four village hall venues across Somerset.
Please check out the wonderful film about Caroline Horton, made by John Holman from Transition Vision, who documented many of the artists and shows on last season's rural touring programme.
A bit about the artist: Caroline Horton is an actor who likes to write and perform her own material. The production she was touring Somerset with was You're Not Like Other Girls, Chrissie, a story of a love that survived World War II. It is a beautifully balanced piece and will have you chuckling and choking back tears by turns. Here Caroline talks about her career to date and the show, whilst she waits to take the stage at Ashbrittle Village Hall. She is too modest to mention that her acting in "Chrissie" won her "The Stage's" best solo performer at the Edinburgh Festival in 2010.
Note from Transition Vision: "Take Art continues to bring top quality performance to Somerset in spite of the adverse funding situation now that Somerset County Council has decided that the arts have no value to the people of the county but need all the support it will be able to muster to carry on their work. This was shot and edited by John Holman. Performance material by kind permission of Caroline Horton."
