He’s joined by mental health expert and former athlete Professor Gordon Harold and health science historian, Vanessa Heggie.
In response to ‘Paris 1924: Sport, Art and the Body’, the exhibition’s co-curator Carrie Vout leads a dynamic discussion exploring a century of change for women in sport. Joining her in conversation are former British Champion swimmer Rebecca Achieng Ajulu-Bushell, gold medal-winning Paralympian Liz Johnson and Vice Chairman of the British Olympic Association Annamarie Phelps.
Luke Syson, Director and Marlay Curator of the Fitzwilliam Museum and Dr David Dibosa, Director of Research and Interpretation at Tate, explore the imaginative and critical approach of an artist widely regarded as one of the most important working today.
This is a free taster session for our Parkinson's Dance Course.
We're inviting people affected by Parkinson’s to take part in a short course led by dance for health artist Filipa Pereira-Stubbs and inspired by objects, artefacts and artworks from the University of Cambridge Museums.
Sessions start with minute exploration of museum objects. The stories of the objects inspire the dance session. We end with refreshments and a chance to look again at the objects. The dance is both chair based and standing, and we invite participants to work at the level that suits them best. Companions are welcome!
The course is part of a pilot programme.
Activities take place on selected Fridays from 10.30am to 12pm at Cambridge Junction:
Drop in and meet artist Rona Lee and curator Kath Wood of Kath and Company for a relaxed lunchtime conversation about Lithic Entanglements, Lee’s video and photo collage artwork.
Join classicist Carrie Vout, the exhibition’s co-curator and author of the award-winning book ‘Exposed: The Greek and Roman Body’, for a unique tour of ‘Paris 1924: Sport, Art and the Body’.
Join former Head of BBC News and Director of Sport Roger Mosey for a fascinating conversation about his experiences at the forefront of a media revolution in sports coverage.
