‘Images or shadows of divine things’ is
an on-going series of
photographs accumulated since 2005 by Gerard Byrne.
The modestly presented
monochrome images of the United States share a distinct ambiguity;
although made over the course of the last five years, the images appear
to depict an earlier time. Whilst evoking vernacular photographic idioms
of American mid-century photography, cumulatively the series points
towards the complicated relationship between time, appearance, and the
photographic document. Anchoring the project with a reference to a text
by the 18th century American theologian Jonathan Edwards, the work
shadows an American intellectual tradition stretching back to the
Puritans which perceives the world as inextricably prefigured in the
bible.

By understanding and learning NLP you can learn how people think and, more importantly, how to positively influence how people think to create massive shifts in thinking, feeling and behaviour.

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.

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.

Scottish art in the late 19th and early-20th centuries with this
illustrative exhibition. Featuring key works by renowned and

‘Images or shadows of divine things’ is
an on-going series of
photographs accumulated since 2005 by Gerard Byrne.
The modestly presented
monochrome images of the United States share a distinct ambiguity;
although made over the course of the last five years, the images appear
to depict an earlier time. Whilst evoking vernacular photographic idioms
of American mid-century photography, cumulatively the series points
towards the complicated relationship between time, appearance, and the
photographic document. Anchoring the project with a reference to a text
by the 18th century American theologian Jonathan Edwards, the work
shadows an American intellectual tradition stretching back to the
Puritans which perceives the world as inextricably prefigured in the
bible.

we often hear people say they only sung in the shower. What stops us from singing with the same uninhibited freedom we were blessed with as children?
- Sing freely in a group and individual situation.
- Open up your voice by exploring melodic and free vocal sounds.
- Expand your vocal possibilities
- Strengthen your voice
- Project your sound better.
- Develop your creativity and spontaneity
- Discover your hidden sounds and build up self-confidence.
Vocal exercises will be accompanied by simple movements - the voice flows and frees up when the whole body is involved. You will find out how singing can be of personal value and nourishment for yourself, as you free your voice and personal expression.
Open to all, no experience necessary.
The workshop is led by singer Francine Luce. Francine has been performing and teaching for 30 years around the world. Her teaching is inspired by her music, theatre and dance experience and the use of the voice for therapeutic and spiritual purposes.

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.

‘Images or shadows of divine things’ is an on-going series of
photographs accumulated since 2005 by Gerard Byrne.
The modestly presented
monochrome images of the United States share a distinct ambiguity;
although made over the course of the last five years, the images appear
to depict an earlier time. Whilst evoking vernacular photographic idioms
of American mid-century photography, cumulatively the series points
towards the complicated relationship between time, appearance, and the
photographic document. Anchoring the project with a reference to a text
by the 18th century American theologian Jonathan Edwards, the work
shadows an American intellectual tradition stretching back to the
Puritans which perceives the world as inextricably prefigured in the
bible.

Theta Healing is a rapidly growing form of healing that
works by instantly changing limiting beliefs we hold unconsciously. In removing
blocks and changing unhelpful beliefs, the situations and experiences we
attract into our lives can then become those we truly desire.
Our accredited courses are attended by all walks of life and
include people wanting to learn Theta Healing to use solely on themselves to
improve emotional, physical and spiritual wellbeing while others become active
practitioners using it both on themselves and with clients.
The three day Basic training course is intensive and among
many things, teaches students how to identify limiting beliefs (often found at
a genetic, soul or past life level) then how to go into a theta state and using
universal source energy make desired belief changes at a cellular level. A list of what is learnt on this course appears at the bottom of this message.
Students are taught how to do muscle testing which is an
effective method of communicating with the unconscious mind to confirm which
beliefs are held and that changes have effectively taken place.Included in the energy work, we also work on
retrieving lost soul fragments, working with baby in the womb and removing
psychic hooks.
The Basic course qualifies students as Theta Healing
practitioners and many choose to also do the Advance training which deepens the
process considerably in terms of personal healing and Theta Healing
development.This three day course is
equally intensive and takes learning this form of healing to a much deeper level.
Our courses are fun, inspirational, interactive and utterly
transformational.Our feedback is
consistently positive and many students return to do additional courses.

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

‘Images or shadows of divine things’ is
an on-going series of
photographs accumulated since 2005 by Gerard Byrne.
The modestly presented
monochrome images of the United States share a distinct ambiguity;
although made over the course of the last five years, the images appear
to depict an earlier time. Whilst evoking vernacular photographic idioms
of American mid-century photography, cumulatively the series points
towards the complicated relationship between time, appearance, and the
photographic document. Anchoring the project with a reference to a text
by the 18th century American theologian Jonathan Edwards, the work
shadows an American intellectual tradition stretching back to the
Puritans which perceives the world as inextricably prefigured in the
bible.

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

‘Images or shadows of divine things’ is an on-going series of
photographs accumulated since 2005 by Gerard Byrne.
The modestly presented
monochrome images of the United States share a distinct ambiguity;
although made over the course of the last five years, the images appear
to depict an earlier time. Whilst evoking vernacular photographic idioms
of American mid-century photography, cumulatively the series points
towards the complicated relationship between time, appearance, and the
photographic document. Anchoring the project with a reference to a text
by the 18th century American theologian Jonathan Edwards, the work
shadows an American intellectual tradition stretching back to the
Puritans which perceives the world as inextricably prefigured in the
bible.

‘Images or shadows of divine things’ is
an on-going series of
photographs accumulated since 2005 by Gerard Byrne.
The modestly presented
monochrome images of the United States share a distinct ambiguity;
although made over the course of the last five years, the images appear
to depict an earlier time. Whilst evoking vernacular photographic idioms
of American mid-century photography, cumulatively the series points
towards the complicated relationship between time, appearance, and the
photographic document. Anchoring the project with a reference to a text
by the 18th century American theologian Jonathan Edwards, the work
shadows an American intellectual tradition stretching back to the
Puritans which perceives the world as inextricably prefigured in the
bible.

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!

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.

‘Images or shadows of divine things’ is
an on-going series of
photographs accumulated since 2005 by Gerard Byrne.
The modestly presented
monochrome images of the United States share a distinct ambiguity;
although made over the course of the last five years, the images appear
to depict an earlier time. Whilst evoking vernacular photographic idioms
of American mid-century photography, cumulatively the series points
towards the complicated relationship between time, appearance, and the
photographic document. Anchoring the project with a reference to a text
by the 18th century American theologian Jonathan Edwards, the work
shadows an American intellectual tradition stretching back to the
Puritans which perceives the world as inextricably prefigured in the
bible.

A genre (and gender) bending piece of theatre cabaret created by Gypsy Charms and Chris JS Wilson, The Mating Ritual 'burlesques' men, women and our mating behaviour. Guiding you through a boisterously bawdy man-meets-woman history is the sharp tongued devil-in-disguise Des O'Connor. Starting with a famous royal couple and finishing with 80's pumping sexercise, the Mating Ritual uses a sensory cacophony of dance, burlesque and musical comedy to examine how convention suggests we charm, connive and con the opposite sex into continuing the human race...

Stand up and songs in Mr Dodd's 'Happines Show', celebrating over 50
years in the business. Strap yourself in, he could be going for one of
his three hour sets. . .
5 Things you might not know about - Ken Dodd
Somewhat eccentric from his early years, he often walked backwards
all the way from school to his home simply to prove that it could be
done.
When he tried this feat of nonsense while on his bicycle, it proved
to be less successful. Legend has it that such a bike accident led to
his famous protruding teeth, which he later insured for £10,000.
Dodd was the victim of a stalker who posted him a series of
indecent photos and a dead rat before setting fire to his Knotty Ash
home in 2001.
Despite being an octogenarian, Ken Dodd can perform for anything up
to five hours.
At the start of the year, Dodd underwent a successful hernia
operation, joking his way back to fitness: ‘The surgeon found my chuckle
muscle and said it’s in very good condition.’

As part of this I am hosting a short symposium at the museum and I am looking for people to take part in this get together where we will explore attitudes, beliefs and ideas around the subject of death. This is
an opportunity for people from very different backgrounds with very different beliefs and traditions to come together to share their understandings.
There are forty spaces at the event. There will be Short presentations, followed by hands-on, workshops using drawing, making and filming. The day will conclude with an hour of Laughter Yoga by ‘Joyworks’.

changing the way we deal with death.
Colin Grey on ‘Imaging Death’
A Glasgow based Photographer who’s recent show at Street Level Gallery in Glasgow - ‘In Sickness and in Health’ comprised a thirty year project with his own parents. This work depicts their deterioration and
ultimately his mother’s death. “I have found that these photographs helped me make sense of the loss I have experienced”.

not be present. Sometimes changes to the sets take place during the
summer break so we cannot always guarantee access to every set.

A series of eight paintings by Ken Currie recognise the 1987
bicentenary
of the massacre of Glasgow's Calton weavers, Scotland's first trade
union martyrs.
New, original works inspired by the sea, boats and the Scottish
coastline. Exhibiting artists include Malcolm John Cheape, Mairi Aitken,
Pat Kramek, Blair Thomson, Owen Henderson, Alan Watson, and Alan
Faulds.
Stand up and songs in Mr Dodd's 'Happines Show', celebrating over 50
years in the business. Strap yourself in, he could be going for one of
his three hour sets. . .
5 Things you might not know about - Ken Dodd
Somewhat eccentric from his early years, he often walked backwards
all the way from school to his home simply to prove that it could be
done.
When he tried this feat of nonsense while on his bicycle, it proved
to be less successful. Legend has it that such a bike accident led to
his famous protruding teeth, which he later insured for £10,000.
Dodd was the victim of a stalker who posted him a series of
indecent photos and a dead rat before setting fire to his Knotty Ash
home in 2001.
Despite being an octogenarian, Ken Dodd can perform for anything up
to five hours.
At the start of the year, Dodd underwent a successful hernia
operation, joking his way back to fitness: ‘The surgeon found my chuckle
muscle and said it’s in very good condition.’
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

‘Images or shadows of divine things’ is an on-going series of
photographs accumulated since 2005 by Gerard Byrne.
The modestly presented
monochrome images of the United States share a distinct ambiguity;
although made over the course of the last five years, the images appear
to depict an earlier time. Whilst evoking vernacular photographic idioms
of American mid-century photography, cumulatively the series points
towards the complicated relationship between time, appearance, and the
photographic document. Anchoring the project with a reference to a text
by the 18th century American theologian Jonathan Edwards, the work
shadows an American intellectual tradition stretching back to the
Puritans which perceives the world as inextricably prefigured in the
bible.

of American mid-century photography, cumulatively the series points
towards the complicated relationship between time, appearance, and the
photographic document. Anchoring the project with a reference to a text
by the 18th century American theologian Jonathan Edwards, the work
shadows an American intellectual tradition stretching back to the
Puritans which perceives the world as inextricably prefigured in the
bible.

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!

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

The Hakomi Method is a powerful way of evoking and
supporting emotional and psychological healing
processes using experiments in mindfulness and loving presence. Hakomi
has been refined into a method of
unique elegance and artistry, drawing upon the ancient wisdoms of
Buddhism and
Taoism along with modern influences such as systems theory and
body
psychotherapies.Developed originally as
a form of psychotherapy, the fruit of the method goes well beyond
personal
change or individual development, and flowers in the cultivation of
loving
relationships and caring communities.
The workshop will
introduce excercises from the training, allowing us to begin to use the
method to reveal how we are organised around core beliefs. Hakomi
invites the emergence of new possibilities for nourishment and new
depths of
connection with self, other and world.
Cost £90/£75 low waged.

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.

A series of eight paintings by Ken Currie recognise the 1987
bicentenary
of the massacre of Glasgow's Calton weavers, Scotland's first trade
union martyrs.
New, original works inspired by the sea, boats and the Scottish
coastline. Exhibiting artists include Malcolm John Cheape, Mairi Aitken,
Pat Kramek, Blair Thomson, Owen Henderson, Alan Watson, and Alan
Faulds.
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

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.
