Each session will begin with a half-hour presentation and discussion of a topic, led by a member of the group. Topics will cover all of the arts - visual, literature, music, dance, architecture, film/tv, etc. The second half will be an open and informal discussion of the latest arts news and issues - books recommended, exhibitions visited, the local music scene, etc. We hope for a lively exchange of opinions. This is a fully-participatory forum - it is essential that all members of the group are willing to present at least one prepared topic during the 2 terms. Presentations can be projected from a laptop, or by handing around reference material, by holding a quiz, or any other method.
