Mixed Media Portrait by Laura Maynard

ha An Lanntair a’ ciallachadh iomadach rud eadar-dhealaichte do dh’iomadh neach eadar-dhealaichte.

FÁILTE

’S dòcha gu bheil thu a’ smaoineachadh oirnn mar taigh-dhealbh, tèatar, taigh-consairt no àite airson comadaidh, ceòl no dannsa. An rud nach eil, ’s dòcha, cho follaiseach ’s e an dreuchd a th’ againn ann a bhith a’ lìbhrigeadh foghlam agus for-ruigheachd, bho na sgeamaichean seargadhinntinne aig a bheil bun-stèidh sna h-ealain, gu prògram farsaing sgoile agus cothroman ionnsachaidh do dh’inbhich. An robh fios agad gun robh na tha sinn a’ tabhann do sgoiltean air an teirm seo a’ gabhail a-steach bùithtean-obrach ealan-lèirsinneach, beò-dhealbhadh, litreachas, cearcaill-solais air aodach, rionnagan agus an crios-grèine, tèatar, ceòl eadar-ghnìomhail leis an Edinburgh Quartet agus tòrr a bharrachd?! Mar sin is sinn a’ tòiseachadh seusan ùr an earraich a tha seo, bu chaomh leum an cothrom a ghabhail innse dhuibh mu cuid de na leasachaidhean inntinneach a tha romhainn san obair seo.

Tha mi air leth toilichte prògram ùr do chlann agus teaghlaichean ro-sgoile agus bun-sgoile ainmeachadh – Full Circle. ’S e ar n-amas le Full Circle cuideachadh a thoirt dhan a h-uile duine cothrom a bhith aca air na h-ealain bho aois òg, bho bhith cruthachadh - eadar a bhith a’ cruthachadh ceòl gu bhith a’ cluich ann an dòigh nach eil glan. Tha naidheachd air leth eile againn gu bheil ìre ùr dhan Phrògram Taic Luchd-ealain a’ tòiseachadh, air a lìbhrigeadh le aon dhan luchdobrach is ùire againn, Sandra Cheanadach. Tha seo mu bhith a’ toirt taic do dhaoine ionadail gus an obair a leasachadh nas motha, sgilean ùra a bhrosnachadh, obrachadh còmhla agus gnìomhachasan cruthachail ùra a thòiseachadh. Tha gnìomhachasan cruthachail cho cudromach do dh’eaconamaidh an eilein, agus tha uidhir de thàlant chruthachail sa choimhearsnachd againn.

Earrach 2019

Ma tha sibh airson tuilleadh fhaighinn a-mach mu na sgeamaichean ùra inntinneach againn, no gin dha na cothroman do dh’inbhich, clann agus teaghlaichean, thoir sùil air a’ bhileag seo no air www.lanntair.com airson tuilleadh fiosrachaidh.

I am delighted to announce a new programme for pre-school and primary-school aged children and their families - Full Circle. Our aim with Full Circle is to help everyone have the chance to access the arts from a very early age, from music making to messy play. Other exciting news is the start of a new phase

If you are interested in finding out more about these fabulous new schemes, or any of our adult or children and families opportunities, check out this brochure or www.lanntair.com for more.

us as a cinema, a theatre, a concert hall, or a venue for comedy, music or dance. What is, perhaps, not so obvious is the role we have in delivering education and outreach, from our arts-based dementia care schemes, to our extensive schools programme and adult learning opportunities. Did you know that this term our schools offer included workshops in visual arts, animation, literature, light-up textiles circuits, stars and the solar system, theatre, interactive music with the Edinburgh Quartet and more?! So, as we start this new spring season, I’d like to take the chance to share with you just some of the exciting new developments in this work.

for our Artist Support Programme, all led by one of our newest team members, Sandra Kennedy. This is all about supporting local people to further their practice, grow new skills, network together, and set up new creative businesses. The creative industries are so important to our island economy, and there is so much creative talent out there in our community!

Tha am peantair, am priontair sgrion agus an neachsurfaidh Laura Maynard ag innse sgeulachd luchdsurfaidh Leòdhais tro dhealbhan mòra agus pìosan meadhan-measgaichte. Am measg nan dealbhan dhan luchd-surfaidh tha ìomhaighean agus samhlaidhean a tha toirt beachd dhuinn air an t-slighe a ghabh iad gu bhith mar phàirt dhan choimhearsnachd bheag, làidir seo. Tha an neach-fiolm, togail-dheilbh agus surfaidh Jim Hope air fiolm goirid a chruthachadh a’ sealltainn oirthirean fiadhaich, suailichean agus uisgeachan fuara.

Tha an obair, a rinneadh le ceithir deug oileanach eadarnàiseanta, a’ gabhail a-steach raon de mheadhanan, nam measg fiolm, ìomhaigh agus suidheachadh.

TESTIMONY FROM THE ROCKS: TEISTEANAS BHO NA CREAGAN

WAVE MIGRATION: LAURA MAYNARD

‘Art, Space + Nature’ (ASN) is a Masters Programme at Edinburgh College of Art, the University of Edinburgh, which is now in its 14th year. Over that time, it has increasingly gained recognition as a leading, international Arts and Environment course. TESTIMONY FROM THE ROCKS is an exhibition of responses to both the physical and cultural landscape of the Western Isles, following a period of study undertaken last year. The work, by fourteen international students, ranges across a variety of media including film, sculpture and installation.

Painter, screen printer and surfer Laura Maynard tells the stories of Lewis surfers through large scale portraits and mixed media pieces. Layered and intertwined within the surfers’ portraits is imagery and symbolism that give subtle clues to their journey to becoming part of the small close-knit surf community. Filmmaker, photographer and surfer Jim Hope has created a short film showing the island's wild coastal landscape, waves and cold water surfers' paradise. Mark Lumsden is a surfer and board shaper - designing and making handcrafted surfboards in his workshop in Ness. His shaping skills will be showcased in a board specifically designed for the waves and conditions of Lewis surf.

WAR OF THE WORLDS

CUIMHNEACHAIN PÀIPEIR

A’ comharrachadh 40 bliadhna de aon de na pìosan ciùil as dàna a chaidh a chruthachadh a-riamh, tha Neosa pròiseil tionndadh ciùil Jeff Wayne de War of the Worlds a thaisbeanadh – beò air an àrd-ùrlair.

Tha Cuimhneachain Pàipeir le Jabuti Theatre na thaisbeanadh aoibhneach do chlann 7+ mu imrich, fèin-aithne agus cho cumhachdach ’s a tha cuimhneachain. Le dannsa-adhair, pupaidean agus ceòl, bheir iad sinn gu cuimhneachain soilleir agus dathach Tali; fògarrach a tha a’ tighinn a dh’Alba le teaghlach. Tha an teaghlach a’ faireachdainn neònach agus ann an èiginn a’ feuchainn ri fighe a-steach agus dìochuimhneachadh na chaidh roimhe. Thathar ag iarraidh air Tali cuimhneachadh na chaidh roimhe agus beag air bheag tha na cuimhneachain aice a’ dol às a cuimhne. Ach tha an teaghlach aice a’ tuigsinn gur e a bhith a’ cuimhneachadh an aon dòigh fuireach còmhla mar theaghlach san àite ùr seo. Tha Cuimhneachain Pàipeir a’ cleachdadh ceòl agus dealbhan iongantach gus cuimhneachain a chruthachadh mu bhainnsean, ruith às dèidh chearcan agus dannsa san adhar còmhla ri eòin. £6/£4

Le taisbeanadh lèirsinneach deàrrsach, cluiche beò agus ceòl ìomhaigheach, tha sgeulachd maireannach HG Wells ga thoirt beò sna h-Eileanan an Iar airson a’ chiad uair. £12/£10

WAR OF THE WORLDS

Featuring a dazzling visual display, live performance and iconic music, HG Wells’ immortal tale is brought to life for the first time ever in the Hebrides. £12/£10

PAPER MEMORIES Jabuti Theatre’s Paper Memories is an exhilarating performance for children aged 7+ about migration, identity and the power of memories. With aerial-dance, puppetry and music, we will be brought into the bright and colourful memories of Tali, a refugee girl arriving in Scotland with her family. The family feels strange and other and a desperate need to fit in and forget. Tali, told not to remember, slowly finds her memories crumpling and ripping before her eyes. Until her family realize that the only way to keep them together, to be a family in this new place, is to remember. Paper Memories uses captivating music and stunning visuals to bring to life memories of wedding parties, chasing chickens and dancing in the air with birds. £6/£4

Tha coltas ann nach eil mòran ùidh aig an t-saoghal ann an sàr-chomasan sam bith, gun ghuth air comasan Evans.

The world seems increasingly indifferent to true genius of any kind, let alone Evans’.

Bho thùs à Eilean Leòdhais agus an Spàinn, chan eil iongnadh ann nach eil an ceòl aca a’ cuimseachadh air aon àite, no air aon de na h-iallan ann an lìonra thraidiseanta na h-Alba. Bho thòisich iad ag obair còmhla ann an 2016, tha iad air fìor adhartas a dhèanamh, le iarrtas mhòr orra aig fèisean agus ionadan air feadh na dùthcha. San ùine ghoirid seo, tha iad air còrdadh ri luchdèisteachd air BBC Radio 2, Fèis Celtic Connections, seiseanan Sofar agus iomadach àite air feadh Alba. £12/£10

Tha iad math air fuaim a chruthachadh a tha air leth tarraingeach ach chan eil daoine a’ tuigsinn ciamar as urrainn a leithid a thighinn bho thrì fìdhlean. £12/£10

JOSIE DUNCAN & PABLO LAFUENTE FRI 10 MAY 8PM

Calling the Isle of Lewis and Spain home respectively, its no wonder their music doesn’t focus on one place, on one of the many strands of Scotland’s web of traditions.

Comprising Olav Luksengård Mjelva (Norway), Anders Hall (Sweden) and Kevin Henderson (Shetland Islands), each regarded as leading exponents of their respective traditions, they have found themselves in great demand throughout the world performing together as ‘The Nordic Fiddlers Bloc’

Since joining forces in 2016 they’ve taken the scene by storm, quickly becoming an in-demand live act at festivals and venues across the country. In their short time together they’ve delighted the audiences of BBC Radio 2, Celtic Connections Festival, Sofar sessions, and a host of venues across Scotland. £12/£10

THE NORDIC FIDDLERS BLOC

Their clever use of harmony, rhythm, riffs and bass lines creates a sound that leaves the listener enthralled but at the same time dumbfounded that the sound only comes from three fiddles. £12/£10

HARRIS TWEED BIKE RIDE

Tim Edey, multi-instrumentalist and singer, has toured the world and recorded with most of the major names in Celtic/Contemporary Roots music. Tim is now a name on the world stage in his own right after 17 years of very hard work and consequently is rated by many to be one of the world’s finest-ever melodeon and guitar players in folk and contemporary acoustic music today! £12/£10

Cycling can be sweaty work. Especially if you're bedecked like a Victorian in tweed. Don’t worry! The annual parade round town is not only sedate and civilised, there are up to three pit-stops for refuelling and nourishment. Sometimes black pudding, sometimes gin. All perfectly legal. And in the grandest traditions of the Tour de France the best-dressed rider receives Le Maillot Jaune aka An Geansaidh Buidhe aka The Yellow Jersey, specially knitted for the occasion. The youngest winner gets The White Jersey. Future family heirlooms.
