Friday 9th May
Book Festival

Year 8 with Fuse (PHC) all day

Fuse Arts - multimedia arts workshops for Oswestry School pupils Year 8

Fuse Arts has grown out of the concept of promoting more interaction across the arts spectrum; from music , the visual arts to dance and the written word. 

Fuse provide inspirational events that explore themes in a creative mixed media environment. 

In the workshop on May 9th at Oswestry School they will be interpreting an archetypal tale of conflicts between tribal loyalties and love and friendship with Year 8. The structure is based loosely on Romeo and Juliet. Rob and Anna will work with the pupils on artistic interpretation; Chris will add lighting effects and Barry will work on music.
