“The creative industries are so important to our island economy, and there is so much creative talent out there in our community!"

Tha An Lanntair a’ ciallachadh iomadach rud eadar-dhealaichte

do dh’iomadh neach eadar-dhealaichte. ’S dòcha gu bheil thu a’ smaoineachadh oirnn mar taigh-dhealbh, tèatar, taigh-consairt no àite airson comadaidh, ceòl no dannsa. An rud nach eil, ’s dòcha, cho follaiseach ’s e an dreuchd a th’ againn ann a bhith a’ lìbhrigeadh foghlam agus for-ruigheachd, bho na sgeamaichean seargadh-inntinne aig a bheil bun-stèidh sna h-ealain, gu prògram farsaing sgoile agus cothroman ionnsachaidh do dh’inbhich. An robh fios agad gun robh na tha sinn a’ tabhann do sgoiltean air an teirm seo a’ gabhail a-steach bùithtean-obrach ealan-lèirsinneach, beò-dhealbhadh, litreachas, cearcaill-solais air aodach, rionnagan agus an crios-grèine, tèatar, ceòl eadar-ghnìomhail leis an Edinburgh Quartet agus tòrr a bharrachd?! Mar sin is sinn a’ tòiseachadh seusan ùr an earraich a tha seo, bu chaomh leum an cothrom a ghabhail innse dhuibh mu cuid de na leasachaidhean inntinneach a tha romhainn san obair seo.

Tha mi air leth toilichte prògram ùr do chlann agus teaghlaichean ro-sgoile agus bun-sgoile ainmeachadh – Full Circle. ’S e ar n-amas le Full Circle cuideachadh a thoirt dhan a h-uile duine cothrom a bhith aca air na h-ealain bho aois òg, bho bhith cruthachadh - eadar a bhith a’ cruthachadh ceòl gu bhith a’ cluich ann an dòigh nach eil glan. Tha naidheachd air leth eile againn gu bheil ìre ùr dhan Phrògram Taic Luchd-ealain a’ tòiseachadh, air a lìbhrigeadh le aon dhan luchd-obrach is ùire againn, Sandra Cheanadach. Tha seo mu bhith a’ toirt taic do dhaoine ionadail gus an obair a leasachadh nas motha, sgilean ùra a bhrosnachadh, obrachadh còmhla agus gnìomhachasan cruthachail ùra a thòiseachadh. Tha gnìomhachasan cruthachail cho cudromach do dh’eaconamaidh an eilein, agus tha uidhir de thàlant chruthachail sa choimhearsnachd againn.Ma tha sibh airson tuilleadh fhaighinn a-mach mu na sgeamaichean ùra inntinneach againn, no gin dha na cothroman do dh’inbhich, clann agus teaghlaichean, thoir sùil air a’ bhileag seo no air www.lanntair.com airson tuilleadh fiosrachaidh.

An Lanntair is many different things to many different people.  You may think of

us as a cinema, a theatre, a concert hall, or a venue for comedy, music or dance.  What is, perhaps, not so obvious is the role we have in delivering education and outreach, from our arts-based dementia care schemes, to our extensive schools programme and adult learning opportunities. Did you know that this term our schools offer included workshops in visual arts, animation, literature, light-up textiles circuits, stars and the solar system, theatre, interactive music with the Edinburgh Quartet and more?! So, as we start this new spring season, I’d like to take the chance to share with you just some of the exciting new developments in this work.  

I am delighted to announce a new programme for pre-school and primary-school aged children and their families - Full Circle.  Our aim with Full Circle is to help everyone have the chance to access the arts from a very early age, from music making to messy play.  Other exciting news is the start of a new phase

for our Artist Support Programme, all led by one of our newest team members, Sandra Kennedy.  This is all about supporting local people to further their practice, grow new skills, network together, and set up new creative businesses.  The creative industries are so important to our island economy, and there is so much creative talent out there in our community! 

If you are interested in finding out more about these fabulous new schemes, or any of our adult or children and families opportunities, check out this brochure or www.lanntair.com for more.

Ach dè nì sinn leotha? Hmmmm…..

£13.50 (Nas sine na 14 a-mhàin)

MON 1 APRIL 8PMSIMON EVANS: GENIUSEver since he was a small boy, all Evans really wanted was to be recognised by the world as a man of genius. He has, until now, remained thwarted. Th e world seems increasingly indiff erent to true genius of any kind, let alone Evans’. Endlessly distracted by the trivial, we allow the classical tools of grammar, logic and rhetoric to lie unregarded in the shed of consciousness, rusting to a picturesque hue that would actually look really great on Instagram. But which fi lter? Hmmm… £13.50 (Over 14s only)
