getting into the Christmas spirit with

an end of year show for all the family

to enjoy.

and Theatre Maker Bec Applebee, well

show ‘Oh Mary’ as well as her work with

Kneehigh theatre, Goldentree and the band

Dalla, now presents her new show ‘The

Ugly Sisters’.

This fun filled, physical theatre show uses

characters from the ‘Cinderella’ story to

take a satirical look at media driven, photo

shopped, ideal images of beauty. Starring

some of Cornwall’s finest performers, Bec

Applebee, Jennifer Beare and Mary

Woodvine, the show also has a

combination of original music by Seamus

Carey and words by Callum Mitchell (from

‘Silly Boys’).

It’s also not too late to help us choose the films we shall

be screening in the first half of 2016.

We have made a selection of 22 films. They include

suggestions that have been made on the feedback forms

and others that we think would be of interest from

reviews provided by the BFFS and other sources.

We have provided a synopsis of each of these films for

you to read. Films appear in no particular order.

Information and reviews about each film are also available

on the internet and in the library if you are interested in

finding out more.

You have SIX votes per person. Please select the six

films you would like to be shown. We will then add up

all the votes we receive and then announce the film

programme in December.

Votes should be registered by Thursday 3rd December.

The online survey can be accessed via our web site on

the ‘Film’ page, or if you prefer pen and paper pick up a

voting form at Liskerrett’s reception.

Amazingly, in January we shall be screening our 100th film,

something I think to celebrate. Any ideas of how we

should mark this occasion would be appreciated.

As always, we look forward to hearing from you.

To be held in the hall at the Liskerrett Centre, Sat 5th Dec at 2.30 for 3pm start. Enjoy short films, dance, music, young performers, a Quiz, small craft display, audience participation, afternoon tea and yummy cake! Entry is free but donations are welcome towards future Vital Spark projects. Questions? Contact: Jan on (01579) 320155

Wind and Rain Cancels Lantern

Procession

The wind and rain on Saturday

evening forced organisers to cancel

the lantern procession of Liskeard

Lights Up this year.

Some photos were taken of the

lanterns that have been made this

year. We are hoping to organise an

event before Christmas so that

anyone who wants to, will still have

the chance to parade with their

lantern. We will let you know the

details as soon as they are confirmed.

Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra would like to invite Cornish musicians aged 7 - 107 to join us for an orchestral making music day with a difference. As part of our Cornwall Residency in January 2016, BSO will be working with young people, students and adults giving opportunities for coaching, performances and mentoring. We would like to celebrate our visit by inviting musicians from across Cornwall to work with Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra’s Associate Musician, Patrick Bailey, along with a string quartet of professional musicians for one day only, creating a brand new piece of music—from scratch—in just 3 hours. Joining forces with Liskeard’s regular “Sounds Vital” project, musicians will form an ensemble of mixed instruments and work together to create rhythms, melodies and musical phrases to form a brand new composition,ready for sharing to family and friends at 2pm. The sharing will also include a performance by the local ‘Sounds Vital’ ensemble, who have been working throughout Autumn to devise new music together, and a performance by the BSO string quartet.
