Aspects Of Scottish Art 1860 - 1910 (9:30 AM - 5:00 PM)

Glasgow's Hunterian Art Gallery provides a fantastic overview of Scottish art in the late 19th and early-20th centuries with this illustrative exhibition. Featuring key works by renowned and revolutionary artists alike, it is a comprehensive introduction to Scotland's artistic heritage.

 

From artists such as Fraser and Macgregor, through works by the revolutionary Glasgow Boys, Glasgow Girls and the Group of Four, to later artists such as Fergusson and Peploe, the exhibition offers visitors a broad survey of Scottish art.


It also seeks to locate a connecting thread between the various styles and movements of the period and to emphasise continuity across Scottish art into the 20th century.

Drumming For Beginners (7:00 PM - 8:30 PM)

The drumming is fantastic.  It’s like a wonderful meditation.  It feels so good to focus on the rhythms and there is a great sense of achievement when the music really rolls and flows.  A real relaxing stress-buster and it clears the mind – and it makes you feel – HAPPY!M Ker, Glasgow

The Djembe drumming proved to be really uplifting because, being an old codger with no musical skills, I had not expected to be any good at all but with your very patient and understanding help I felt that I coped reasonably well.  It is very satisfying when you finally feel that you are starting to get into the rhythm and get (most) of the notes right and I can certainly see what you mean when you describe the benefits of drumming - P Urquhart, Bridge of Weir


Drumming is so much more than just making a noise... it can help concentration, focus, co-ordination, counting, confidence and listening skills. You may also find it relaxing, energising, meditative and most of all…….fun. Wow!

So, why not come along and see for yourself?


The class is taught by Fiona McLaren (SoundJourney) and is suitable for Beginners and Returners.  



As well as playing djembe you will also have the chance to play dundun (bass drums) and bell patterns during the course.

NB: Please sign up to let us know that you are coming and drums will be offered on a first come basis.

Lastly, dont worry if you think you dont have rhythm - anyone with a heartbeat has rhythm!

 

More testimonials:-

I highly recommend this energising and fun class. It is so well taught that even people with no rhythm, like myself, can play the first week! - T Stephens, Glasgow

I see it more as a "therapeutic" device, something relaxing and liberating.  Sometimes I came to class very tired or maybe in a bad mood and it was relaxing , cheered me up and I went back home satisfied.  It had a good effect on my sleep too!  - P Vacca, Glasgow

Sharmanka Kinetic Theatre (7:00 PM)

The Sharmanka Kinetic Theatre, home to a unique exhibition of Kinemats (kinetic sculptures), is the extraordinary home of these tiny carved figures and pieces of scrap which dance to haunting music and synchronised lighting, as machinery and shadows come alive.

 

The enchanting drama of Sharmanka (meaning barrel-organ) originated in St Petersburg and began in Russia in 1988, as a result of the collaboration between the sculptor/mechanic Edward Bersudsky and the theatrical critic and director Tatiana Jakovskaya. However, increasing economic depression and the withdrawal of local authorities' support for art meant the exhibition eventually had to leave Russia in 1993, when it found its way to Glasgow.


Labelled by The Sunday Times as "Bizarre, hilarious, ghoulish...unmissable," the magical show is growing in size and popularity, undertaking commissions and exhibiting both in Europe and the USA. New kinemats are added every year.

 


Venue: Trongate 103 | 14 King Street | (Second Floor) | Glasgow | G1 5HD
Cost: £4.00; concessions £3.00; 4-16 yrs free (up to two per paying adult)

Jiu Jitsu Fundamentals (11:30 AM - 1:00 PM)

Jiu Jitsu is a combat sport that focuses primarily on grappling with the ultimate goal being to gain a dominant position on an opponent and use various chokeholds and joint locks to force them to submit. The overriding principle in this sport is leverage and technique thus giving a smaller, weaker person a huge advantage over a stronger opponent with less training experience.

Jiu Jitsu can be trained for self defence, grappling tournaments and mixed martial arts competition. Controlled sparring and live drilling play a major role in every class thus ensuring progress in the sport occurs rapidly.

Jiu Jitsu Fundamentals

These classes focus on the basic techniques and principles of the sport. These classes are suitable for all levels but are aimed at those just beginning their training.

Monthly Laugh N De-Stress (Glasgow City Centre, West End, Lunchtimes & Stirling) (12:30 PM - 2:15 PM)

JOYWORKS EVENTS: FAST BECOMING THE ORIGINAL WAY TO DE-STRESS

MONTHLY LAUGHTER WORKSHOPS

Using laughter yoga (simple tension releasing exercises based on mime and play) drama games and relaxation participants leave the session feeling energised connected and often on cloud nine!

Events are facilitated by Sharon Miller. She has just returned from India where she was invited to stay at Dr Kataria's home (the founder of Laughter Yoga) she visited the original laughter club founded in 1995 in Mumbai with Mrs. Kataria. Fifteen years on there are now 6,000 laughter yoga clubs all over the world. Joyworks is the first in Glasgow - now in its second successful year.

Sharon utilises twenty years extensive experience of working in the arts and education, rehabilitation and mental health for both government and non-government agencies to ensure high quality experiences to remember.

Come along for an original way to meet new people, to forget about physical pain, to alleviate depression, discover new techniques for work or for a fun way to invoke a natural high!

The most fascinating fact about a laughter workout is based on the scientific fact that our bodies can’t tell the difference between ‘real’ laughter and ‘fake’ laughter. So participants get all the physiological benefits of a good laugh, without comedy or humour.

I leave feeling good about the world and its people...A warm feeling of wellbeing hits me and I realise I’m glad I came tonight. I have giggled until my cheeks were sore, and enjoyed a raucous belly laugh or two. As I walk out into the night air I can still feel the warmth of Miller and her laughing strangers.

Sharmanka Kinetic Theatre (7:00 PM)

The Sharmanka Kinetic Theatre, home to a unique exhibition of Kinemats (kinetic sculptures), is the extraordinary home of these tiny carved figures and pieces of scrap which dance to haunting music and synchronised lighting, as machinery and shadows come alive.

 

The enchanting drama of Sharmanka (meaning barrel-organ) originated in St Petersburg and began in Russia in 1988, as a result of the collaboration between the sculptor/mechanic Edward Bersudsky and the theatrical critic and director Tatiana Jakovskaya. However, increasing economic depression and the withdrawal of local authorities' support for art meant the exhibition eventually had to leave Russia in 1993, when it found its way to Glasgow.


Labelled by The Sunday Times as "Bizarre, hilarious, ghoulish...unmissable," the magical show is growing in size and popularity, undertaking commissions and exhibiting both in Europe and the USA. New kinemats are added every year.

 

Family Show at 3.00pm and Evening Show at 7.00pm


Venue: Trongate 103 | 14 King Street | (Second Floor) | Glasgow | G1 5HD

Jiu Jitsu Fundamentals (7:00 PM - 8:00 PM)

Jiu Jitsu

Jiu Jitsu is a combat sport that focuses primarily on grappling with the ultimate goal being to gain a dominant position on an opponent and use various chokeholds and joint locks to force them to submit. The overriding principle in this sport is leverage and technique thus giving a smaller, weaker person a huge advantage over a stronger opponent with less training experience.

Jiu Jitsu can be trained for self defence, grappling tournaments and mixed martial arts competition. Controlled sparring and live drilling play a major role in every class thus ensuring progress in the sport occurs rapidly.

Jiu Jitsu Fundamentals (7:00 PM - 8:00 PM)

Jiu Jitsu

Jiu Jitsu is a combat sport that focuses primarily on grappling with the ultimate goal being to gain a dominant position on an opponent and use various chokeholds and joint locks to force them to submit. The overriding principle in this sport is leverage and technique thus giving a smaller, weaker person a huge advantage over a stronger opponent with less training experience.

Jiu Jitsu can be trained for self defence, grappling tournaments and mixed martial arts competition. Controlled sparring and live drilling play a major role in every class thus ensuring progress in the sport occurs rapidly.

Drumming For Beginners (7:00 PM - 8:30 PM)

The drumming is fantastic.  It’s like a wonderful meditation.  It feels so good to focus on the rhythms and there is a great sense of achievement when the music really rolls and flows.  A real relaxing stress-buster and it clears the mind – and it makes you feel – HAPPY!M Ker, Glasgow

The Djembe drumming proved to be really uplifting because, being an old codger with no musical skills, I had not expected to be any good at all but with your very patient and understanding help I felt that I coped reasonably well.  It is very satisfying when you finally feel that you are starting to get into the rhythm and get (most) of the notes right and I can certainly see what you mean when you describe the benefits of drumming - P Urquhart, Bridge of Weir


Drumming is so much more than just making a noise... it can help concentration, focus, co-ordination, counting, confidence and listening skills. You may also find it relaxing, energising, meditative and most of all…….fun. Wow!

So, why not come along and see for yourself?


The class is taught by Fiona McLaren (SoundJourney) and is suitable for Beginners and Returners.  



As well as playing djembe you will also have the chance to play dundun (bass drums) and bell patterns during the course.

NB: Please sign up to let us know that you are coming and drums will be offered on a first come basis.

Lastly, dont worry if you think you dont have rhythm - anyone with a heartbeat has rhythm!

 

More testimonials:-

I highly recommend this energising and fun class. It is so well taught that even people with no rhythm, like myself, can play the first week! - T Stephens, Glasgow

I see it more as a "therapeutic" device, something relaxing and liberating.  Sometimes I came to class very tired or maybe in a bad mood and it was relaxing , cheered me up and I went back home satisfied.  It had a good effect on my sleep too!  - P Vacca, Glasgow


Venue: University of Glasgow | 64 Oakfield Avenue | off University Avenue | Glasgow | G12 8LT

Sharmanka Kinetic Theatre (7:00 PM)

The Sharmanka Kinetic Theatre, home to a unique exhibition of Kinemats (kinetic sculptures), is the extraordinary home of these tiny carved figures and pieces of scrap which dance to haunting music and synchronised lighting, as machinery and shadows come alive.

 

The enchanting drama of Sharmanka (meaning barrel-organ) originated in St Petersburg and began in Russia in 1988, as a result of the collaboration between the sculptor/mechanic Edward Bersudsky and the theatrical critic and director Tatiana Jakovskaya. However, increasing economic depression and the withdrawal of local authorities' support for art meant the exhibition eventually had to leave Russia in 1993, when it found its way to Glasgow.


Labelled by The Sunday Times as "Bizarre, hilarious, ghoulish...unmissable," the magical show is growing in size and popularity, undertaking commissions and exhibiting both in Europe and the USA. New kinemats are added every year.

 


Venue: Trongate 103 | 14 King Street | (Second Floor) | Glasgow | G1 5HD
Cost: £4.00; concessions £3.00; 4-16 yrs free (up to two per paying adult)

Jiu Jitsu Fundamentals (11:30 AM - 1:00 PM)

Jiu Jitsu is a combat sport that focuses primarily on grappling with the ultimate goal being to gain a dominant position on an opponent and use various chokeholds and joint locks to force them to submit. The overriding principle in this sport is leverage and technique thus giving a smaller, weaker person a huge advantage over a stronger opponent with less training experience.

Jiu Jitsu can be trained for self defence, grappling tournaments and mixed martial arts competition. Controlled sparring and live drilling play a major role in every class thus ensuring progress in the sport occurs rapidly.

The Sharmanka Kinetic Theatre, home to a unique exhibition of Kinemats (kinetic sculptures), is the extraordinary home of these tiny carved figures and pieces of scrap which dance to haunting music and synchronised lighting, as machinery and shadows come alive.

 

The enchanting drama of Sharmanka (meaning barrel-organ) originated in St Petersburg and began in Russia in 1988, as a result of the collaboration between the sculptor/mechanic Edward Bersudsky and the theatrical critic and director Tatiana Jakovskaya. However, increasing economic depression and the withdrawal of local authorities' support for art meant the exhibition eventually had to leave Russia in 1993, when it found its way to Glasgow.


Labelled by The Sunday Times as "Bizarre, hilarious, ghoulish...unmissable," the magical show is growing in size and popularity, undertaking commissions and exhibiting both in Europe and the USA. New kinemats are added every year.

 

Family Show at 3.00pm and Evening Show at 7.00pm


Venue: Trongate 103 | 14 King Street | (Second Floor) | Glasgow | G1 5HD
Cost: £4.00; concessions £3.00; 4-16 yrs free (up to two per paying adult)

Drumming For Beginners (7:00 PM - 8:30 PM)

The drumming is fantastic.  It’s like a wonderful meditation.  It feels so good to focus on the rhythms and there is a great sense of achievement when the music really rolls and flows.  A real relaxing stress-buster and it clears the mind – and it makes you feel – HAPPY!M Ker, Glasgow

The Djembe drumming proved to be really uplifting because, being an old codger with no musical skills, I had not expected to be any good at all but with your very patient and understanding help I felt that I coped reasonably well.  It is very satisfying when you finally feel that you are starting to get into the rhythm and get (most) of the notes right and I can certainly see what you mean when you describe the benefits of drumming - P Urquhart, Bridge of Weir


Drumming is so much more than just making a noise... it can help concentration, focus, co-ordination, counting, confidence and listening skills. You may also find it relaxing, energising, meditative and most of all…….fun. Wow!

So, why not come along and see for yourself?


The class is taught by Fiona McLaren (SoundJourney) and is suitable for Beginners and Returners.  



As well as playing djembe you will also have the chance to play dundun (bass drums) and bell patterns during the course.

NB: Please sign up to let us know that you are coming and drums will be offered on a first come basis.

Lastly, dont worry if you think you dont have rhythm - anyone with a heartbeat has rhythm!

 

More testimonials:-

I highly recommend this energising and fun class. It is so well taught that even people with no rhythm, like myself, can play the first week! - T Stephens, Glasgow

I see it more as a "therapeutic" device, something relaxing and liberating.  Sometimes I came to class very tired or maybe in a bad mood and it was relaxing , cheered me up and I went back home satisfied.  It had a good effect on my sleep too!  - P Vacca, Glasgow


Venue: University of Glasgow | 64 Oakfield Avenue | off University Avenue | Glasgow | G12 8LT

Sharmanka Kinetic Theatre (7:00 PM)

The Sharmanka Kinetic Theatre, home to a unique exhibition of Kinemats (kinetic sculptures), is the extraordinary home of these tiny carved figures and pieces of scrap which dance to haunting music and synchronised lighting, as machinery and shadows come alive.

 

The enchanting drama of Sharmanka (meaning barrel-organ) originated in St Petersburg and began in Russia in 1988, as a result of the collaboration between the sculptor/mechanic Edward Bersudsky and the theatrical critic and director Tatiana Jakovskaya. However, increasing economic depression and the withdrawal of local authorities' support for art meant the exhibition eventually had to leave Russia in 1993, when it found its way to Glasgow.


Labelled by The Sunday Times as "Bizarre, hilarious, ghoulish...unmissable," the magical show is growing in size and popularity, undertaking commissions and exhibiting both in Europe and the USA. New kinemats are added every year.

 


Venue: Trongate 103 | 14 King Street | (Second Floor) | Glasgow | G1 5HD
Cost: £4.00; concessions £3.00; 4-16 yrs free (up to two per paying adult)

Jiu Jitsu Fundamentals (11:30 AM - 1:00 PM)

Jiu Jitsu is a combat sport that focuses primarily on grappling with the ultimate goal being to gain a dominant position on an opponent and use various chokeholds and joint locks to force them to submit. The overriding principle in this sport is leverage and technique thus giving a smaller, weaker person a huge advantage over a stronger opponent with less training experience.

Jiu Jitsu can be trained for self defence, grappling tournaments and mixed martial arts competition. Controlled sparring and live drilling play a major role in every class thus ensuring progress in the sport occurs rapidly.

Sharmanka Kinetic Theatre (7:00 PM)

The Sharmanka Kinetic Theatre, home to a unique exhibition of Kinemats (kinetic sculptures), is the extraordinary home of these tiny carved figures and pieces of scrap which dance to haunting music and synchronised lighting, as machinery and shadows come alive.

 

The enchanting drama of Sharmanka (meaning barrel-organ) originated in St Petersburg and began in Russia in 1988, as a result of the collaboration between the sculptor/mechanic Edward Bersudsky and the theatrical critic and director Tatiana Jakovskaya. However, increasing economic depression and the withdrawal of local authorities' support for art meant the exhibition eventually had to leave Russia in 1993, when it found its way to Glasgow.


Labelled by The Sunday Times as "Bizarre, hilarious, ghoulish...unmissable," the magical show is growing in size and popularity, undertaking commissions and exhibiting both in Europe and the USA. New kinemats are added every year.

 

Family Show at 3.00pm and Evening Show at 7.00pm


Venue: Trongate 103 | 14 King Street | (Second Floor) | Glasgow | G1 5HD
Cost: £4.00; concessions £3.00; 4-16 yrs free (up to two per paying adult)

Jiu Jitsu Fundamentals (7:00 PM - 8:00 PM)

Jiu Jitsu

Jiu Jitsu is a combat sport that focuses primarily on grappling with the ultimate goal being to gain a dominant position on an opponent and use various chokeholds and joint locks to force them to submit. The overriding principle in this sport is leverage and technique thus giving a smaller, weaker person a huge advantage over a stronger opponent with less training experience.

Jiu Jitsu can be trained for self defence, grappling tournaments and mixed martial arts competition. Controlled sparring and live drilling play a major role in every class thus ensuring progress in the sport occurs rapidly.

Sharmanka Kinetic Theatre (7:00 PM)

The Sharmanka Kinetic Theatre, home to a unique exhibition of Kinemats (kinetic sculptures), is the extraordinary home of these tiny carved figures and pieces of scrap which dance to haunting music and synchronised lighting, as machinery and shadows come alive.

 

The enchanting drama of Sharmanka (meaning barrel-organ) originated in St Petersburg and began in Russia in 1988, as a result of the collaboration between the sculptor/mechanic Edward Bersudsky and the theatrical critic and director Tatiana Jakovskaya. However, increasing economic depression and the withdrawal of local authorities' support for art meant the exhibition eventually had to leave Russia in 1993, when it found its way to Glasgow.


Labelled by The Sunday Times as "Bizarre, hilarious, ghoulish...unmissable," the magical show is growing in size and popularity, undertaking commissions and exhibiting both in Europe and the USA. New kinemats are added every year.

 


Venue: Trongate 103 | 14 King Street | (Second Floor) | Glasgow | G1 5HD
Cost: £4.00; concessions £3.00; 4-16 yrs free (up to two per paying adult)

Jiu Jitsu Fundamentals (11:30 AM - 1:00 PM)

Jiu Jitsu is a combat sport that focuses primarily on grappling with the ultimate goal being to gain a dominant position on an opponent and use various chokeholds and joint locks to force them to submit. The overriding principle in this sport is leverage and technique thus giving a smaller, weaker person a huge advantage over a stronger opponent with less training experience.

Jiu Jitsu can be trained for self defence, grappling tournaments and mixed martial arts competition. Controlled sparring and live drilling play a major role in every class thus ensuring progress in the sport occurs rapidly.

Sharmanka Kinetic Theatre (7:00 PM)

The Sharmanka Kinetic Theatre, home to a unique exhibition of Kinemats (kinetic sculptures), is the extraordinary home of these tiny carved figures and pieces of scrap which dance to haunting music and synchronised lighting, as machinery and shadows come alive.

 

The enchanting drama of Sharmanka (meaning barrel-organ) originated in St Petersburg and began in Russia in 1988, as a result of the collaboration between the sculptor/mechanic Edward Bersudsky and the theatrical critic and director Tatiana Jakovskaya. However, increasing economic depression and the withdrawal of local authorities' support for art meant the exhibition eventually had to leave Russia in 1993, when it found its way to Glasgow.


Labelled by The Sunday Times as "Bizarre, hilarious, ghoulish...unmissable," the magical show is growing in size and popularity, undertaking commissions and exhibiting both in Europe and the USA. New kinemats are added every year.

 

Family Show at 3.00pm and Evening Show at 7.00pm

Sharmanka Kinetic Theatre (7:00 PM)

The Sharmanka Kinetic Theatre, home to a unique exhibition of Kinemats (kinetic sculptures), is the extraordinary home of these tiny carved figures and pieces of scrap which dance to haunting music and synchronised lighting, as machinery and shadows come alive.

 

The enchanting drama of Sharmanka (meaning barrel-organ) originated in St Petersburg and began in Russia in 1988, as a result of the collaboration between the sculptor/mechanic Edward Bersudsky and the theatrical critic and director Tatiana Jakovskaya. However, increasing economic depression and the withdrawal of local authorities' support for art meant the exhibition eventually had to leave Russia in 1993, when it found its way to Glasgow.


Labelled by The Sunday Times as "Bizarre, hilarious, ghoulish...unmissable," the magical show is growing in size and popularity, undertaking commissions and exhibiting both in Europe and the USA. New kinemats are added every year.

 


Venue: Trongate 103 | 14 King Street | (Second Floor) | Glasgow | G1 5HD
Cost: £4.00; concessions £3.00; 4-16 yrs free (up to two per paying adult)

Aspects Of Scottish Art 1860 - 1910 (9:30 AM - 5:00 PM)

Glasgow's Hunterian Art Gallery provides a fantastic overview of Scottish art in the late 19th and early-20th centuries with this illustrative exhibition. Featuring key works by renowned and revolutionary artists alike, it is a comprehensive introduction to Scotland's artistic heritage.

 

From artists such as Fraser and Macgregor, through works by the revolutionary Glasgow Boys, Glasgow Girls and the Group of Four, to later artists such as Fergusson and Peploe, the exhibition offers visitors a broad survey of Scottish art.

Jiu Jitsu Fundamentals (11:30 AM - 1:00 PM)

Jiu Jitsu is a combat sport that focuses primarily on grappling with the ultimate goal being to gain a dominant position on an opponent and use various chokeholds and joint locks to force them to submit. The overriding principle in this sport is leverage and technique thus giving a smaller, weaker person a huge advantage over a stronger opponent with less training experience.

Jiu Jitsu can be trained for self defence, grappling tournaments and mixed martial arts competition. Controlled sparring and live drilling play a major role in every class thus ensuring progress in the sport occurs rapidly.

Jiu Jitsu Fundamentals

These classes focus on the basic techniques and principles of the sport. These classes are suitable for all levels but are aimed at those just beginning their training.
