Norwich Rising November Rehearsal


Norwich Rising November rehearsal at the Silver Rooms in Norwich. Using our Red Nose day Grant to have rehearsal space in a dry warm place is fantastic. The rehearsals are free for Women, children and men that love them. Next rehearsal is in 7th December 2015 on a Monday from 1pm to 2pm


In January the rehearsals are on the 10th and 24th on a Sunday between 3pm and 4pm.



Norwich Rising main event is on the 14th of February at the Forum for anyone to come and join in the dance. 
 


The Silver rooms has had a lot of changes made to it so we can dance. New floor boards, big mirrors and an amazing garden.



This will be our 4th year of Norwich Rising. We started dancing on the street in the snow.



We our a group that has had enough of violence against Women in Norwich and the rest of the world. 1 in 3 Women has had some kind of violence happen to them, either domestic or on the street. Women are over this behaviour and don’t tolerate it.  Emotional violence is just as painful as physical and we wont stand for that either.



Getting women together is one way of getting our point across.
It also makes people aware that refuges, counselling hot lines still need to stay open even in times of Austerity. 



You can come along to a rehearsal or practise at home or in school. We are doing the dance that we have done in previous years from the One Billion and Rising website.



Check out our website www.norwichrising.wordpress.com


We are also going to be doing T-shirt screen printing in January with artist Chrissy Violet Sabberton so come along with your shirt and print a Norwich Rising T-Shirt.



Miriam Gita is teaching us the moves step by step.

Paint Out Norwich Winner



Last week I came third in Paint out Norwich Competition. With my painting of the Chocolate shop in the Royal Arcade. I called the painting Chocolate Arcade.
The competition was set for 40 artists to paint 5 paintings each with 3 hours each painting in two and half days. There was enormous pressure to finish the painting on time as well as having fun chatting to the public out on the street. The first day on the Monday I whipped round and some of the streets of Norwich with a camera and took pictures of possible locations. Very much later that evening I flicked through photos and made a simple plan of what to paint. On the Wednesday it pour with rain so I picked the Royal arcade choc shop to paint under cover. Then I was going to paint under a alley in Pottergate in the afternoon but the rain stopped and I head over to either the Magic shop or Bear shop. A shop keeper wouldnt let me set up opposite Magic shop so I headed over to the bear shop and set up in front of Mandell's gallery on Elm Hill. I have never really painted on the street in Norwich and looking out on Elm Hill at the buildings I realised how old and wonky they all are.
Four of my paintings sold and the Chocolate shop is still for sale with a buyer who is very interested but not back from holiday yet.

Today is the last day of the exhibition at the Hostry at Norwich Cathedral and then it moves to the Maddermarket theatre for a slimmer show.

I been so busy I havent not had time to blog about the event so will have to work backwards from the Win.
