Bluecoats Liverpool Live 06 26-29 October

Thursday 26-Sunday 29 October

During Liverpool Biennial 2006, artists are extending their work beyond conventional gallery boundaries, bringing live art to audiences in a surprising variety of locations. With Bluecoat closed for a major development, its live art programme, Liverpool Live 06, is being presented in the city centre’s public spaces and at other venues. A main theme running through the programme is the changing urban environment, specifically the context of Liverpool’s current transition through regeneration projects like Paradise Development, the largest retail/mixed use development in Western Europe.
The city’s streets, public spaces, shops and other buildings become sites for performances, talks, walks, tours and actions, many of them created by international and UK artists specifically for Liverpool Live 06. In more intimate locations, hidden spaces are imaginatively revealed, whilst at night the social environment of pub and club are evoked.
Well worth checking out for the weekend.

Evening Access to Workshops

As you may remember at the end of last academic year we asked various workshops in the college to open in the evenings until 8.30 pm, on an experimental basis, following suggestions and comments brought up at Course Consultative Committees by student reps. This experiment was successful from the point-of-view of both students and staff. The scheme is being extended this year to cover all workshops in the college who should be able to offer at least an evening a week late opening, with technical support, throughout the year. Although we have not been able to finalise the list at the present moment in time, it is worth letting you know what is available now:

IT - late night opening until 8.30pm on Monday evenings -Blenheim Walk Mac Suite.

Print– is open late every night except Friday, drop-in subject to negotiation with workshop staff –Vernon St.

Clay/Plaster – is open for Drop-in until 6.30 starting on Monday 9th Oct.
Week 17 -20 Drop in until 8.30pm on Mondays
Week 32 -35 Drop in until 8.30pm on Mondays
Week 45-48 Drop in until 8.30pm on Mondays
If you are travelling distances to the workshop, check opening on 0113 202 8276

Photography - open until 8.30pm on Tuesday evenings

As I am sure you will agree this represents a significant addition to evening provision for Part-time and Full-time students at the College and that having campaigning so strenuously for it you will be keen to use it to the full. Workshops will be monitoring student uptake. Further details of late opening for Wood and Metal will be published as soon as possible.
