Manchester Collective, Richard Strauss: Four Last Songs and Metamorphosen<\/a> \u2014 Bold Tendencies, Peckham (London UK)<\/strong> NOW Later: Draw-In<\/a> \u2014 NOW Gallery, Greenwich (London UK)
15 July
I loved this performance! I didn\u2019t know too much about the Manchester Collective before I went but they were incredible and so generous with their knowledge. What I love about Bold Tendencies is that it\u2019s exposed to the elements and you can hear the sound of the Overground as it turns the corner. To see the weather change from sunny to cold and windy as they performed a work about life and death, celebrating the beauty and inevitably, was amazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Curator Jemima Burrill and the NOW Gallery team design the most thoughtful events that really do bring people together. I often go by myself and meet such lovely people and have really interesting conversations. I was really happy to see that artists Laxmi Hussain and Frances Costelloe were hosting workshops. While I wasn\u2019t able to do Frances workshop, I did get to see Laxmi paint Margie Belle with her signature electric blue fluid lines \u2014 both a soothing and thrilling experience \u2014 and do a little life drawing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
