Dear All,
On the 4 & 5 October this year 100+ Fun Palaces will take place across the UK and beyond. Based on theatre director Joan Littlewood and architect Cedric Price's vision of one space to hold all arts and sciences, working together, welcoming to all - a true democratisation of culture. The building that Littlewood and Price dreamed in the 1960s never eventuated, but this year sees the first of an annual campaign to encourage local people to create community Fun Palaces, engaging with and involving arts and sciences. These pop-up events will take place in arts venues, high streets, schools, libraries, a woodland and a swimming pool, the large majority are, this year, in the UK, along ones in France, Iceland, Germany, Canada and Australia.
If you'd be interested in bringing more science elements to your local Fun Palace (or in creating one yourself?) all the information, including contact details for each local Fun Palace, available here : http://funpalaces.co.uk/
or feel free to contact me directly.
many thanks,
Stella Duffy
