Monday 11th December
Mental Fight Club invite you to join us to come together as a community of creative minds and participate in a range of online arts activities.
Full Timetable:
12:45pm - 2:30pm: The Singing Group
In Monday's online session we will share The Ballad of The Dragon Cafe, our epic song about the past of the Dragon Cafe. Throughout 2023 patrons shared thoughts, reflections and memories online and in person to create a brand-new ballad based on an ancient narrative form. We sang the ballad at the in-person Dragon Cafe on Monday 20th November. Here's another opportunity to share our new song, written as part of the Dragon Cafe's 10th anniversary celebrations. Everyone is welcome!
3:00pm – 4:00pm: Poetry with Angie Smith
Professor Angie Smith will be delivering this poetry workshop dedicated to Tercets and we will examine the fundamental elements of this poetic form. After learning the form, the class will then apply these concepts to the drafting of their own written pieces with a sharing portion at the end for anyone interested in reading their work.
Angie Smith is the Founder of CreativityUnleashed, a not-for-profit charity that publishes the voices of young people, a Professor of English at Russell Sage College and an online creative writing teacher.
5:00pm - 6:00pm: Ariella & Renzo Danceworks
Danceworks invites all Dragons to our last festive Zoom Dance in the company of friends near and far. Together we'll explore new and easy dances inspired by rhythms and songs from all over the world: from English Pop to Zumba and Afro-beat to Bhangra. Let's get moving to drive the cold winter away, keep warm and fit and feel uplifted for days afterwards!
6:00pm - 7:00pm: Ariella & Renzo Shareworks
Shareworks will follow after the dance session and offer dragons a safe space where we can all relax, watch video-clips and listen to presentations by fellow dragons on art, literature, dance and music. All are welcome to attend for a chat and a smile and to wish everyone a good festive break of peace and good health for all. Join us for our Dragon's Zoom Monday!
Shareworks will carry on directly after Danceworks on the same Zoom link.
