In this episode Gary Mansfield speaks to Meg Malloy/Working Arts Club (@WorkingArtsClub) Founded by Meg Molloy in 2024, the Working Arts Club is a London-based independent network dedicated to professionals in the arts from working-class backgrounds. Originally from Margate, Molloy founded the club to confront the isolation and structural barriers often experienced by those from lower-income communities within the arts industry.The club fosters a strong sense of community through networking events, workshops, and panel discussions featuring influential working-class voices in the creative sector.Since its inception, it has grown rapidly, with nearly 1,000 members—approximately 75% of whom identify as women. More than just a professional resource, the Working Arts Club provides a space for solidarity and honest conversation about class-based challenges in the arts.Looking ahead from its first anniversary, Molloy hopes to broaden the club's reach into schools and universities, encouraging young people from similar backgrounds to pursue and thrive in creative careers.

Humans are extraordinary, with an infinite capacity for growth and evolution – but as the world moves faster and life becomes busier, how can we build a body that can stand the test of time?This forward-thinking panel discussion brought together three body-focused experts – including aesthetic doctor and regenerative specialist, Dr Aggie Zatonska; venous surgeon and pioneer, Professor Mark Whiteley; and resident Doctor in sport and exercise medicine at Lanserhof at The Arts Club, Dr Bevin McCartan – to explore proven routes to enhancing posture, lowering stress and even reshaping our physiques.From regenerative treatments and limb-perfecting protocols, to the role of hands-on techniques, we discovered how to find physical strength and resilience – both inside and out.

2024. október 10., csütörtök 9-10 óra IT-KALAUZ: Rájár a rúd a Google-re. Letette az amerikai igazságügyminisztérium az illetékes bíróság elé annak a javaslatcsomagnak az első változatát, mely a Google keresőjének monopolhelyzetét hivatott feloldani. Közben a keresőóriásnak november elsejétől át kell alakítani az androidos alkalmazások disztribúciós folyamatát is. Ha fel is darabolják a Google-t, éveket kell rá várni - HWSW. Itt a vége a Play Áruház monopóliumának - HWSW. Koi Tamás, a hwsw.hu szerkesztője EQUILOR TŐZSDENYITÁS: Buró Szilárd pénzügyi innovációs vezető NOPQ: Világutazó, privát séf, biodinamikus és permakultúrás termelő:  Tischler Petra mindig is tele volt energiával. A szekszárdi születésű séf kézilabdás sport múltja elmondása szerint sokat segített a konyhai hierarchiába, csapatjátékba illeszkedni. Petra több nyelven beszél, az angol és a francia mellett, spanyolul és japánul is elboldogul. Enni mindig is imádott, a szakma kitanulását a budapesti Nobu konyháján kezdte igazán, de dolgozott a londoni The Arts Club konyháján, majd az USA-ban a francia tulajdonú One Eleven fine dining bisztróban. A Costes Downtown sous-chefje is volt, a posztot pont akkor hagyta el, amikor az étterem Michelin-csillagot kapott. Úgy döntött, hogy a saját útját kezdi járni. Kántor Bandi vele beszélgetett, többek között arról, miért fontos a katonás konyhai hierarchia egy étteremben. Tischler Petra ma már privát séfként dolgozik, saját biodinamikus, permakultúrás kertjében termeli az alapanyagot, és ahogy hallottuk, még mindig tele van energiával. A vele folytatott teljes beszélgetést vasárnap reggel hallhatjátok a Borravaló gasztrokultúra magazinban.

This week, we're sharing an episode from our friends at FCAT After School. FCAT After School is a podcast project led by student hosts from across SFU's Faculty of Communication, Art and Technology speaking with alumni about their career journey since graduation. You'll hear stories of and advice for traditional and unconventional career paths across communication, interactive arts and technology, contemporary arts, publishing and digital media. What does it mean to fail and succeed at the same time? How can one offer joy as a form of activism? What is the purpose of comedy in 2024? In this episode, host Torien Cafferata explores these questions with SFU School for the Contemporary Arts alum June Fukumura, an interdisciplinary theatre artist, clown, and comedian. June has appeared on the Arts Club stage, in film and TV, and an award-winning Fringe Festival solo show. Together she and Torien explore how, in June's line of work, failure is very much a form of success — and re-enchanting the everyday can happen both on and off the stage.

I hold an MA in Screendance from the London Contemporary Dance School, and am the founding Artistic Director of F-O-R-M (Festival Of Recorded Movement). Through completing my MA, I became interested in making work that challenges and slows our attention. I use film and dance to invite connection and empathy towards the bodies we witness on screen, as well as invite sensation within the bodies of those witnessing. I work independently and collaboratively with artists and communities to engage audiences in work that moves them through embodied and imaginative experiences. I am also involved with videocan as a video archivist and on the research team which is an online archive of Canadian performance directed by Patrick Blenkarn and Milton Lim. I have also curated screenings for New Blue Dance Festival (Toronto), Vancouver Art Gallery, DOTE (Vancouver) and Body+Camera (Chicago).   About Tara:   Tara Cheyenne Friedenberg, is an award winning creator, performer, choreographer, director, writer, and artistic director of Tara Cheyenne Performance, working across disciplines in film, dance, theatre, and experimental performance.

Today I'm chatting to the swashbuckling artist and restaurateur Jonny Gent. We recorded this episode during a busy lunch service at Sessions Arts Club, Jonny's inspirational restaurant in Clerkenwell. It's fair to say that he'd emboldened himself with a few martinis beforehand and what ensued was a conversation that very much represents the man himself: unstructured, poetic and generous. Jonny's a brilliant painter, and his artworks range from the sexualised and salacious to tenderly painted still-lifes that are a tribute to his late mother. After getting himself through art school, he met a casting director who wrote him a cheque for every painting he'd made. What followed was a journey that took him to more than 20 countries around the world, establishing art studios in everything from a cabin in Scotland to a tobacco factory in France. Now approaching his late 40s, he's finally starting to put down some roots. As well as having a permanent home in London, Jonny spends a lot of time in the Scottish Highlands, where he's opened a retreat for creatives called Boath House. Like Sessions Arts Club, it explores the confluence of art, food and music. Jonny says of his childhood, “I felt totally alone in what I found beautiful.” He begins by telling me about the Slow & Easy, the pub he grew up in, and the lasting impact of 500 strangers coming into your home every day. I hope you enjoy it!This episode was recorded in person at Sessions Arts Club, London.For more: Visit The Modern House website to see images of the spaces discussed in this episodeCheck out Sessions Arts Club and Boath HouseTake a look at Jonny Gent's latest workProduction and editing: Hannah PhillipsEditing and mixing: Oscar CrawfordGraphic Design: Tom YoungMusic: Father Hosted on Acast.

She is also a member of the Arts Club of Washington and the California Arts Club. "Since returning to the Washington D.C. area I have been focusing on creating a new and large body of work. My new series have taken me away from academic studies to more elaborate compositions which combine human and still life elements. In addition to this I now take on portrait commissions, and continue my studies in art by observing and copying the painting of the Old Masters in art galleries throughout the world. My work is about pleasing the eye. I paint light and the way it falls. Simple observation reveals beauty; often it is found in the unconventional. Because of this I have learned to take particular delight in unusual pairings of subject matter. Frequently my compositions are spontaneous. When a person comes to me, they occupy a space my mind. Arrangements form from there until with excitement I see and have the idea. The design is both planned and subconscious. For this reason I surround myself with Victorian and Baroque costume, bones, and other things which I find fascinating- I want subject matter to always be at hand. My paintings are created with oil paint on canvas. I am conscious of the traditional craftsmanship I have attained in Florence. While my interest in new pigments and tools may cause minor alterations in my materials, these really remain fundamentally the same. All my evolution is taking place on the canvas and in my head; in what I see in nature and interpret in two dimensions on the picture plan. I have the fundamentals of design to work with when planning a painting. I make preparatory studies. I use multiple layers to build an illusion of light and form. When this illusion is convincing and to my taste, the painting is done." -Teresa

Hi everyone, as we have come to an end of Season 10 I wanted to give you a special live bonus episode which I recorded at a breakfast event for The Arts Club with the one and only Julia Samuel. As I'm sure many of you know, Julia has been one of my favourite guests on the Not Perfect Podcast, she is a leading psychotherapist and bestselling author of 3 books. In this episode, I quiz her about her new book called “Every Family Has a Story” which sees her turn from her work with individuals to sessions with a wide variety of families. She reveals how deeply we are influenced by our families and offers insights into how families can face changes together.Julia is so full of wisdom and every time we speak I come away feeling calmer and much more grounded. As it was during a breakfast event, you might hear some odd background noises so I'm sorry for that but do hope you enjoy it!
