Wells photographer wins international award A Norfolk photographer has won a prestigious international award for her work. Janice Alamanou from Wells-next-the-Sea has received the International Modern Art Award 2015 for her photograph ‘Genesis Elements – Water’. It's organised by PAKS Gallery and the MAMAG Modern Art Museum, Austria. 'I exhibit my work with them and they represented me in Paris at the Carrousel du Louvre exhibition,' explains Janice. 'The artists involved are international artists, both photographers and painters, who have been pre-selected for the exhibitions where their artworks are critiqued and judged. Unfortunately I was not able to attend because of prior commitments but the award is being sent to me.' Brought up on the wind-swept shores of the North Norfolk coast it is no surprise that Janice Alamanou’s photography is inspired by the elements. Nature and environment stands alone or blends with her love of people, the human form and portraiture, creating unique beautiful images that now exhibit worldwide.

Home Educators Take to the Skies To mark the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, 42F King’s Lynn Squadron Air Cadets are devising a train of 22 model spitfires which will be located around King’s Lynn’s historic quarters. King’s Lynn Arts Centre have worked with four children from the Home Educators community, through a series of five workshops, to design and decorate one of the fibreglass models. These creative sessions have not only offered them an opportunity to be involved with a fun, community project, but also a chance to learn about the history of Britain and our involvement in the Second World War. Influenced by the work of artists such as Henri Matisse and Jeff Koons, the

The exhibition is affiliated with Cambridge Open Studios, bringing art to everyone. Burwash Manor is a group of converted farm buildings
four young learners have incorporated bold visual styles into their work. They want to defy the negative connotations of war and create something which is positive and liberating.

Mr Harford’s own Artistic style and media is multi-faceted, but in the last three years he has been recognised, and gained a following for, his striking evocative Poster works that take their influence from the Golden era of Railway / Transport Posters of the 1920’s/30’s, particularly the L.N.E.R. commercial artists. 'I have been interested in this style of work for many years.,' says Bryan. ‘The popular resorts and landmarks of East Anglia and most other places were well documented poster-wise. What I am trying to achieve is to re-visit some places from the original posters and depict them from a different perspective. I also explore new sights that the railway companies did not graphically document. I am hoping to extend the scope of this artistic project to the whole of the East Anglian coast and beyond.' Bryans work can also be viewed on his website www.bryanharford.co.uk.

The multiple layers of ink result in a ‘treacly’ appearance which helps to give them the look of working vessels. Mainly devoid of figures. John’s prints rely instead on the complex and seemingly confusing tangle of fishing gear to suggest the human involvement.

Dr Longitude's Marvellous Imaginary Menagerie
Wilde’s most treasured play, ‘The Importance of Being Earnest’ at Holkham Hall’s walled gardens on July 22nd. Spearheaded by proven director, Stephen Rayne, the ‘The Importance of Being Earnest’ has a strong cast and production team of talented students who will soon be graduating from LAMDA. This performance gives the audience at Holkham a unique opportunity to see future talent first hand. As testament to the calibre of LAMDA’s productions, acting alumni include Benedict Cumberbatch, Hermione Norris, Jim Broadbent and Dominic Cooper to name but a few. Holkham Hall’s eighteenth century, six acre walled gardens provide a beautiful backdrop for the performance

A Labour of Love A new play detailing the fight to re-open the Theatre Royal Bury St Edmunds will be performed at the theatre as part of this year’s 50th anniversary celebrations. A Labour of Love has been written by local playwright, Danusia Iwaszko and will be performed from July 16th-25th. Actors from the local community have been cast in all parts and local musicians will be playing under the direction of composer, Phil Gostelow and director of the Theatre Royal, Karen Simpson. It’s 1959, and the Theatre Royal is a barrel store; derelict and in need of a new lease of life. Over the next six years, and against all the odds, the people of Bury St Edmunds and the surrounding villages finally returned to tread the boards. Based on the movers and shakers who worked so tirelessly, A Labour of Love tells the story of the special relationships that were forged and the hearts that were broken in realising a dream. An inspiring true story of a town, its community and what people can achieve when they pull together, this uplifting and toe-tapping musical will entertain all the family! www.theatreroyal.org

Here, ARTSeast chats to Former Blue Peter presenter and actor Mark Curry about his role in the world's best-selling thriller, And Then There Were None.
Coffee & aChat
Next month the UK-wide tour of Agatha Christie's most popular thriller And Then There Were None rolls into Theatre Royal Bury St Edmunds and then on to Cambridge Arts Theatre with a star-studded cast. Produced by Bill Kenwright by special arrangement with Agatha Christie ltd, the show has been wowing audiences across the UK since January. Mark Curry is playing the part of Dr. Armstrong in the show. You’ve known Bill Kenwright for a while, nice to be part of one of his productions again? Yes, it really is. I wanted to do an Agatha Christie, one of these ones, because I kept seeing the posters and it looked sumptuous, it looked good and I actually really like her stuff. I think we’ve tried a couple of years for me to be in it and it hasn’t worked out, and it only just worked out this time! 22 |
www.artseast.co.uk
Coffee & a Chat
So what attracted you to the part of Doctor Armstrong? I was asked to read it with Doctor Armstrong in mind. And what was appealing about it was that it’s not a part you’d usually associate with me, the nervy, and guileful, full of neurosis, ex-alcoholic – that really appealed to me. It’s a chance to show that I have a sensitive side. How have you prepared for your role - are you basing him on anyone? No, I didn’t really, but I’d done Woman in Black years ago in town, and I remembered the character I play, towards the end of the play, becomes a complete wreck, he has a breakdown almost, on stage – as Doctor Armstrong does. So I remembered those feelings and I think as you get older, you’ve got a bit more emotion in you anyway because of stuff that’s happened. And I felt very sorry for him. He’s got a past where he’s actually killed somebody on the operating table, so his murder he’d done – and it was, he killed her – is worse than anybody else’s in the play, because he’s a professional man and this person came to him to be saved, and he killed this woman because he had a drink problem. And it’s absolutely tormented him all his life.
And we’ve got a similar sense of humour and he’s just such a good bloke. It’s an eight-month tour of the UK – what are the nicest things about being on the road? The highlights are – every week is different. Every opening night is almost like your first night because you’ve got a new audience from that area, you’ve got a new stage to get to know, and it’s a new theatre, with different history. Whereas in the West End, it’s fantastic, but you’re going in the same dressing room night after night, you’re parking your car in the same place, or getting the same tube. Having done six months in the West End, it does become a little bit routine. But with touring, you’re discovering new places.
Did you know any of you cast mates before? Frazer Hines I’ve known since I was seven years old. I used to do Junior Showtime in Studio 3 at Yorkshire Television, and they were doing Emmerdale Farm in Studio 4, and during tea breaks and lunch breaks, he’d pop round and look at our show, and we as kids would say, look, that’s Joe Sugden! He was a big star! But we’ve never worked together. We lived in Yorkshire at the same time, we used to do personal appearances and things together, but we never did anything professionally. So when I saw his name on the bill, and sharing a dressing room, I couldn’t believe it! And he couldn’t believe it either, because when you’ve known somebody so long but your paths have never really crossed, it’s great.
Mark and the original cast in an earlier performance
A lot of people - especially those of us who grew up in the 80s - will know you more for Blue Peter? Do you still get recognised for it? I still get recognised today, and I think that’s because we were getting seven million viewers in our peak time, October to March, and that’s because there was less on telly, we didn’t have Sky, there were four channels. We also had a cross-section of audience watching us, because it was just before the six o’clock news, so grandparents, kids, parents watching us. That show, no matter what else I do, will always be with me. It’s a badge, you’ve got it and you were a part of history. And Then There Were None runs from August 3rd-8th at Theatre Royal, Bury St Edmunds (www.theatreroyal.org, 01284 769505) and from August 24th-29th at Cambridge Arts Theatre (www.cambridgeartstheatre.com, 01223 503333) July 2015 | 23

Kid’s Corner: Hollywood Cinema, Norwich Tucked away in Anglia Square, Hollywood Cinema found fame in 2013 as the setting for the premiere of the film Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa. Star Steve Coogan arrived in a blaze of glory and left in a helicopter afterwards for London's West End.But long before it hit the headlines, Hollywood Cinema has been a family favourite of ours thanks to its retro feel (the inside reminds me of cinema trips as a kid in the 80s), cheap food and drink and good value tickets. My partner - who is a sound and vision geek - also claims the quality of both is exceptional. At the weekends - and during school holidays - the cinema has a kid's club where all seats are just £1.49 for children or adults. They tend to show films that have been out a few weeks and it's a fantastic chance to see something you might otherwise have missed. The film we saw this time was Two by Two: Ooops…The Ark Has Gone - a family animation about a couple of clumsy fictional animals called Nestrians who are desperate to get on The Ark before the biblical flood comes.
It wasn't the greatest film we've ever seen but the kids enjoyed it and, as always, the sound and picture quality were both excellent. And for £1.49 per seat, it's hard to complain! We've seen some fantastic films at Hollywood over the years and it's great for a cheap morning or afternoon out. The chain also has cinemas in Dereham, Great Yarmouth and Fakenham.

Spotlight on.........Eddie Johnson Here we chat to local author - and ex London pub landlord - Eddie Johnson.
As landlord of the Two Puddings Pub in London's East End, you must have met some colourful - and famous characters? I met so many diverse and colourful characters in 40 years that it's hard to pick out one, perhaps the 'Colonel' Harry Wood an old boy who came in every night at half past five, when we opened. He'd served in two world wars, in world war 1 he was a stoker in the Royal Navy, in the second world war he was a private in the Pioneer corps in the army. Yet this man was homeless and picked up a bare living as a night watchman in the market. He was cantankerous at times but

How long were you landlord and what were the highlights of your time there?
Long Melford is a world away from the East End. When did you move to the region? I first moved to Suffolk in 1969 to a village called Great Wratting, I bought a lovely thatched cottage and, although I'd commute to Stratford 3 or 4 times weekly, we spent an idyllic few years there. I then bought an old Elizabethan country
