Tales – folk, fairy and epic – have a timeless quality. They are islands of memory and insight if we give them time to talk to us. The first half of this masterclass will let us look at how memory works and the place of imagination; making meaning of myths. We will work with myths from selected cultures, about women and seasons. While myths are universal, what makes them distinctive and can we recall local ones? The second half of this masterclass is to engage in writing. We will work with metaphor and its power in creative writing with our unique imagination and signature. Please bring, wear or carry an object that is precious to you to the masterclass. The session will be run by Vayu Naidu. Vayu did her doctoral research on oral traditions and performance storytelling. Her fiction combines myths and epics and contemporary situations in a tapestry that unveils the human condition, our strength through our vulnerability. She is Professor of Practice at SOAS, Lecturer in Indian Theatre at RADA, and an RLF Fellow. She volunteers at Chelsea Physic Garden. The session will be held at the Jubilee Library in Brighton and will run from 10-4pm with an hour for lunch. The venue is fully accessible, near the train station and bus routes and with plenty of options for lunch (including bringing your own).

My friends who study in the local area told me that this Jubilee Library is their favorite for international students, because the seats are very comfortable, the overall environment is also very good, the lighting is sufficient, the sun can shine in, and the environment is very good. The collection volume is also very rich.

We were there on a weekend and mainly walked outside, looking at the gardens and the architecture. We didn&rsquo;t go inside as their hours of operation didn&rsquo;t coincide with the time we were there and had available. Great place to stroll, people watch, or have a picnic, weather permitting.

One of the best piers in the South of England. There is lots to do with tons of seaside rides, fun arcade games and food. Highly recommend catching the sunset here and if you&rsquo;re lucky you might catch the starlings dancing at dusk, I didn&rsquo;t know they do this and it was the most spectacular striking and stunning natural phenomenon I had seen, it was mesmerising. Highest chances of seeing the starlings dance is between November-March, we visited in early March

more like a downtown touristy place with many cafes and cosmetic shops. very easy to get lost while looking for some place on maps. almost did when i was lookong for Mac cosmetics...you will find Jo Malone, Bobby Brown and Mac cosmetics all in one small area. and coffee shops too. on my second attempt i was looking for pizza express and i almost missed it. hehehh the lanes is one place that gets you wondering what exactly is going on with your maps application. definately recomend you to not miss it while in brighton. on your way to lanes you will meet Tmax the famous brand discount shop and boy, you will thank me then.
