Baha’i Arts Academy

OK, I’m off to the Baha’i Academy for the Arts at Wellington College for the next week. I shall be co-tutoring a course called “Wildfire” with the wonderful concert pianist Nancy Lee Harper. We shall be working on developing musical narratives about the Bahá’í Faith with a select group of young musicians. I’m providing the script-writing skills.

If this works well, we hope to record the music and provide the scripts for people to use in their own homes.

Erica will be co-running a creche at the Academy.

I don’t know if I’ll be able to blog from the Academy. It depends if the college has wifi available for me to use. If not, see you in a week’s time.

Oh, by the way, this is where I went to school in the early 1960s. It is one of Britain’s famous public (i.e. only for those who can afford them) schools.

Take some videos of your course, and lots of pics! :) Have a fun and creative week.

No video camera, I’m afraid, but I will be taking stills.

Hi Barney, I thought you meant Wellington New Zealand. Oh well, all the best for your tutoring. wish i was there. Take care. New Zealand is having the most devistating storms throughout the country.

Sorry, Tricia, not to be in NZ. The Arts Academy is going OK so far. Wet, but no storms - but, then, we’re not in New Zealand.
