This is an opportunity for London writers (novelists, poets, Orwellian journalists) to get together in conducive surroundings to have a drink and to discuss plots, characters, literary techniques, writing styles and methods, and to discuss the styles and writings of novelists we love. As members get to know each other, if they want to share drafts or excerpts of what they're writing that would be great too - hence the title draft soc. With a relaxed setting and a friendly group of people I'm hop …

Our group is focused on releasing the creativity within. We all get bogged down with stresses and strains, forgetting our true nature....to create. As professional actors and singers we have the opportunity to release our creativity on a daily basis, but are aware of the difficulties presented by the modern work/life balance. Too often people get stuck on jobs that don't satisfy their true passions. We want to help you to release or indeed discover what your true passion is. By hosting our weekl …

Traditional publishing is notoriously difficult to break into for a new writer. How can we bring our creative ideas to the attention of others in the new digital world? There are other options out there and I think it would be great for writers in Tunbridge Wells to share their ideas and experiences of life, writing and publishing - as well as being a social group, good way to pitch ideas to each other and encourage and support artistic endeavour in Tunbridge Wells. This is a new group and I …

"The truest expression of a people is in its dances and in its music" From traditional ethnic music to foreign language pop music, the phrase "World Music" covers a lot of ground. From Reggae to Ragas, Celtic to Klezmer, Salsa to Paris Cafe, world music pretty much encompasses everything that doesn't fit comfortably into an typical 'Top 40' pop chart. All in all, world music is considered just plain music to the vast majority of people in the world. Music is universal, and to discover the music …

In art school, critiques felt like being thrown onto stage whether you knew your lines or not... They could make my day, or break a whole body of work. But they never failed to make me think about what i made and why and how to take it further. Now, nearly 10 years after leaving school, I realise that my art practice could really benefit from peer critique. I am looking to form a group of artists who would like to come together once a month to share their work in progress and receive (respectful …

An invitation for a selection of meetup organizers to bring their members to a mixer in a lively salon space, recreating the artists' cafes of old, where lively-minded people can come together to talk, drink and share ideas.

A lively group where work is read aloud and then discussed in a friendly and supportive atmosphere. We've been meeting since 2008 on the first Monday of the month in Ealing to hear scenes being read. We are trialing a second monthly meeting in Soho. Occasionally we also have an interim meeting to discuss full length scripts. You are invited to upload around 10mins of script (usuall …

I see the human body as an infinite source of creativity. Inside. Outside. Sensations. Expression. My body is my home, the home for my soul, for a terrestrial time. I love exploring my inner landscape, the forest of my chest, the sunshine in my breast. And expressing those images, may it be through painting, movement, poetry, sound, story telling or any other medium that comes to me. "Art is no merely concerned with great artists, with genious, or with prodigious skills. It is, fundamentally, th …
