Psychicbread offers a choice of workshops, exploring individual art forms or multi-media combinations:
Film - Andy runs workshops at every level of digital video film making for cinema, installation and the internet. The emphasis here is on simplicity and sustainability. We look at key skills involved in the process of film making from ideas, through storyboarding, production, editing and presentation.
Poetry - Mark provides lively and interactive workshops in poetry and performance.
His approach is described as 'animated' an 'enthusiastic outburst of creativity and co-operation'. He works with all ages and has held numerous residencies, including writer in residence at Sudbury Prison; and poet in residence for Service Children's Education, in Germany and the NL.
Poetry & Film - Through the fusion of poetry and film we explore the power of visual metaphor, and how simple images can sometimes evoke an emotional response. Metaphor lies at the heart of poetry and film. It is the secret language of dreams, a language of imagery and rhythm, through which we glimpse the journey behind our fragmented lives.
Drawing - Helen Knowles leads workshops in drawing, painting, papermaking and sculpture. She has worked alongside Andy in India and is a practising artist in Manchester.
Photography - Andy runs workshops in basic camera skills and simple photoshop techniques to demonstrate how the language of metaphor can be explored cheaply and easily.
