SUMMARY:Songs & stories with Boilerhouse & Annamaria Murphy
DESCRIPTION:An evening of a cappella singing and magical storytelling from celebrated Cornish artists. Expect beautiful harmonies\, tall tales\, working songs and poetry — a warm\, generous night rooted in Cornwall. \nBoilerhouse are a five-piece a cappella group from Penzance with a growing reputation for their generous and joyful shows. Deeply rooted in generations of Cornish singing traditions\, they draw on folk songs\, American Sacred Harp\, gospel\, and home-spun arrangements of Cornish poems — including the work of celebrated Launceston poet Charles Causley. With beautiful harmonies and infectious warmth\, Boilerhouse put their passion and love of singing into every performance. They’ve appeared on the Voices of Cornwall compilation albums and have performed at venues across Cornwall including Penlee Park Theatre\, Tremenheere Gallery and the Acorn Penzance. \nAnnamaria Murphy is a writer for BBC Radio 4 and\, formerly\, Kneehigh Theatre\, and is currently collaborating with musicians Bagas Degol. Born in Polperro and now based in West Penwith\, Anna creates magical tales that combine humour with insight\, drawn from her long experience of writing stories\, poetry and plays. Her credits include Tristan and Yseult\, Red Shoes\, Don John and The Very Old Man with Enormous Wings. She was lead artist on Kneehigh’s beloved Rambles programme — walking Cornwall’s lanes gathering stories and memories — and was Artistic Director of The Writers’ Block in Redruth for many years. Her collaborations with Bagas Degol include Salt Road\, The Winding World and\, new show which toured to the chapel in 2025\, Exiles.

SUMMARY:Screening - Manifesto
DESCRIPTION:Ane Hjort Guttu’s film Manifesto\, 2020\, (27 min) speculates on the aims and purposes of institutional art education. Newly migrated into a university and an open-plan campus building\, an art school feels cornered by a suffocating culture of surveillance and administration. Staff and students find ways to subvert control through secret operations. Drawing on her own experiences as an art teacher\, Ane Hjort Guttu explores what is lost when creativity is replaced by order and provides action plans for how to be the playful rebel. \nAne Hjort Guttu is a visual artist and filmmaker based in Oslo. She works across a range of media\, with a particular focus on text and moving images. Her practice explores the relationship between freedom and power\, how we navigate public space\, individual autonomy\, and the social\, economic\, and political conditions of art. \nFrom 13 to 20 March 2026 Ane Hjort Guttu will be leading the eighth Cornwall Workshop\, a weeklong intensive residential workshop for artists\, curators and writers based in Cornwall and the South West. The workshop is organised by CAST and hosted at Kestle Barton on the Lizard peninsula.

SUMMARY:Screening - Manifesto
DESCRIPTION:Ane Hjort Guttu’s film Manifesto\, 2020\, (27 min) speculates on the aims and purposes of institutional art education. Newly migrated into a university and an open-plan campus building\, an art school feels cornered by a suffocating culture of surveillance and administration. Staff and students find ways to subvert control through secret operations. Drawing on her own experiences as an art teacher\, Ane Hjort Guttu explores what is lost when creativity is replaced by order and provides action plans for how to be the playful rebel. \nAne Hjort Guttu is a visual artist and filmmaker based in Oslo. She works across a range of media\, with a particular focus on text and moving images. Her practice explores the relationship between freedom and power\, how we navigate public space\, individual autonomy\, and the social\, economic\, and political conditions of art. \nFrom 13 to 20 March 2026 Ane Hjort Guttu will be leading the eighth Cornwall Workshop\, a weeklong intensive residential workshop for artists\, curators and writers based in Cornwall and the South West. The workshop is organised by CAST and hosted at Kestle Barton on the Lizard peninsula.

Meet Your Future Bandmates!\n \nYou can play your instrument. You’ve learned some songs. You practice in your bedroom. But have you ever played in an actual band?\nThis is your chance to meet other young musicians\, form a band\, learn a song together\, and perform it live—all in just five days. \nWhat Happens Over the 5 Days? \n DAY 1: Meet Your Band (Monday) \nFIRST: Get to know everyone through icebreakers and a casual jam session. We’ll figure out who plays what and at what level\, then split into bands\, duos\, or trios based on your skills and musical tastes. \nTHEN: Your band chooses a song YOU want to learn (within your genre—rock\, pop\, indie\, whatever your groove is). Start working on it together and getting the basics down. \nThis is where the magic starts—strangers become bandmates. \n DAY 2 & 3: Make It Sound Good (Tuesday & Wednesday) \nPRACTICE\, practice\, practice. Get your song tight and performance-ready with guidance and support throughout the day. You’ll work on: \n\nPlaying together as a unit\nTiming and dynamics\nBand communication\nMaking it sound polished\n\nIf your band nails the song early? Great—choose another one and keep the momentum going! \n DAY 4: The final push & rehearsal (Thursday) \nFIRST: Final rehearsal to polish your performance. \nTHEN: Sound check\, stage setup\, then it’s time to decide a running order and then it’s time to perform to the group. \n DAY 5: Show Time (Friday) \nFIRST: Final rehearsal to polish your performance. \nTHEN: Sound check\, stage setup\, the it’s time to do this for real! Play in your new band to parents and friends\, you decide who to invite. (Shows start at 11.30am & 2.30pm) \nFrom “nice to meet you” to “playing live together” in three fun sessions

SUMMARY:Screening - Manifesto
DESCRIPTION:Ane Hjort Guttu’s film Manifesto\, 2020\, (27 min) speculates on the aims and purposes of institutional art education. Newly migrated into a university and an open-plan campus building\, an art school feels cornered by a suffocating culture of surveillance and administration. Staff and students find ways to subvert control through secret operations. Drawing on her own experiences as an art teacher\, Ane Hjort Guttu explores what is lost when creativity is replaced by order and provides action plans for how to be the playful rebel. \nAne Hjort Guttu is a visual artist and filmmaker based in Oslo. She works across a range of media\, with a particular focus on text and moving images. Her practice explores the relationship between freedom and power\, how we navigate public space\, individual autonomy\, and the social\, economic\, and political conditions of art. \nFrom 13 to 20 March 2026 Ane Hjort Guttu will be leading the eighth Cornwall Workshop\, a weeklong intensive residential workshop for artists\, curators and writers based in Cornwall and the South West. The workshop is organised by CAST and hosted at Kestle Barton on the Lizard peninsula.
