PANDORA'S BOX - FROM PANDORA'S PERSPECTIVE. WHAT WILL WE OPEN UP?



The above artwork is my favourite, inspiring, image from the story of 
Pandora's Box. It's by artist Jason Chan and it shows Pandora, falling through 
a miasma of shame, having opened the contents of the box, releasing its dire 
contents.  And now blamed for it.  

Pandora's Box, from Pandora's perspective: what will this new project
open up?  A workshop in storytelling, music and dance for 2016 - arranged and adapted
 for schools and the wider community

 Please contact pandora@gyroscopic.org if you'd like some further information.  
And never forget, despite this unhappy tale, HOPE remains...

WE ARE BACK: FOR BRISTOL'S BIGGEST EVER BIG GREEN WEEK!



Yes, we're back for Big Green Week 2015.  

Exciting, because Bristol is International Green Capital this year...Our theme: it's about growing, waiting, chilling and generally not getting too worked up about things - taking a precedence from Nature in our story about the Farmers and the Seeds: AKA "Holding Out For Rain".  The children, and teachers, at the schools we have been visiting have been enthusiastic supporters of this fun, participatory workshop piece.  We hope you will be too.  Come and join us on 20th June, at midday - sing along or just watch and be entertained.
