We spent a lovely day with our friends Susie & Hannah at an open day at the local Ashcroft Arts Centre in Fareham. The Centre puts on shows, films, exhibitions and classes/workshops across a variety of arts for both children and adults. Today, they were running free workshops in a few of their disciplines plus arts & crafts activities. As well as a fun day out, we thought it would be a good opportunity for Tess to try out some activity workshops to see if she would like to do any regular classes (in these or other fields).
Tess, Brodie & Hannah started with a street dance workshop. It was a little worrying how naturally they struck their 'street poses' and I'm not sure that they needed to learn the phrase 'whatever' at 3 and 5, but they thoroughly enjoyed the session! ......
Their second workshop was drama, and Tess amazed us all by being a very vocal participant in the class. Here she is practising a 4-line dialogue with Hannah .....
.... and performing it on stage !!!!! .........
Finishing off with a game of Grandmother's Footsteps ....
Tess & Brodie listening to a story about a dragon from Lyminster, near Arundel .....
Brodie getting painted as a dinosaur (the first time he has wanted to be face painted in a public session like this ) ......
... and the end result, complete with ferocious roar .....

.... but watch out girls, there's a dinosaur behind you!!!!!! ......
Tess & Hannah colouring in Rangoli designs (traditional Indian geometrical patterns, used to ward off evil spirits) ....

Tess's penny monster - she had to draw around a penny and then add features, limbs etc to create an individual monster. Tess's monster was a very lucky monster, as it got a full landscape to live in! .....
