Making video calls – Be Connected course

Author talk Geoff Goodfellow Australian literary icon Geoff Goodfellow is renowned for his brutally evocative poetry: famously performed on building sites, at factories and jails, and in mental institutions, as well as the traditional schools & literary festivals.

Out of Copley Street, a playful, tender, richly realised childhood memoir, reveals the vulnerable side of the working-class boy. This is a poignant snapshot of working-class Australian life in the 1950s and 60s, expertly rendered with the vivid lived detail and wry knockabout humour that Geoff Goodfellow is famous for.

Fairy gardens are a lovely way to introduce young children to the pleasures of the outdoors and gardening. They are great fun to design and make, with lots of opportunity to be creative and imaginative with scope to use simple and recycled materials. They can build a home for fairies and make sure they are happy in their new home, looking after the gardens they have created.

Participants get a behind the scenes look at what goes into producing an animation film on a professional level. They will then create their own plasticine characters and learn how to bring them to life using the Stop Motion Studio App. The videos will be screened to the group and uploaded to YouTube to be shared with friends and family. The workshop is designed to inspire and provide the knowledge and tools to start making movies at home.
