Baha’i Academy for the Arts - over for another year
Getting ready for the Arts Academy group photo
Just back from the Bahá’í Academy for the Arts, a wonderful annual week of courses and classes in a range of arts, organized by a group of Bahá’ís. This has been going on for 14 or 15 years, and has become regular fixture in the UK Baha’i community’s calendar.
Almost 300 people took part. Babies, toddlers, children, junior youth, youth, adults. The oldest participants were in their 70s.

This year’s academy took place at Wellington College (in Berkshire, not in New Zealand), my old school.

I was there as a tutor, working with concert pianist and music academic, Nancy Lee Harper, on musical narratives. The academy catered for a wide range of skills in a wide range of arts from music, theatre, visual arts, and electronic arts to the art of living well.
I’m now sleep-deprived and will have to put off writing more about this excellent week until tomorrow!
