Two great new initiatives from NASA UK

Walk and Talk

&

Artist Led Zoom Commission

Walk and Talk – What is it?

A ‘buddy system’ to encourage people to connect and support each other in a more focused way – over the phone, 1 on 1, perhaps once a week. This is voluntary and requires you to sign up to be paired with someone. Great if you’re feeling a bit disconnected, struggling to get your tasks done or feel stuck and could use someone to report back to about your progress.

More info here

Artist Led Zoom Commission – What is it?

Thanks to the ACE Emergency funding grant, we are able to pay 12 NASA-UK members to lead 1 hour workshops via zoom. The fee for each facilitating artist is £100.

Kitty O'Blitherin, Milly Jackdaw and Donna Males took their new walkabout show - "The Brilliant, Resilient, Safely Distanced Damsels / Yr Herlodesi Gwydn a Gwych" to the streets of Aberystwyth in August/September this year. This show was funded by the Arts Council Wales National Lottery Stabilisation Fund, and was designed to be adaptable to COVID conditions. The show consisted of safely distanced interactions with the public, along with set pieces and original songs, "Bringing joy to the streets!" (Cambrian News).

Learn about David Walliams' showman heritage in a new episode of the series 'Who Do You Think You Are?' - BBC1, 19th October at 9pm.
I get to tell him all about being a 19th century busking barrel organist... it was filmed on location in Portsmouth, on the last day before lockdown.
Do let me know what you think and share widely! 😁
