NEW PROFESSIONAL TRAINING COURSES ON OFFER AT THE BOO		We are offering two new, week-long courses during July 2010. The first is a repeat of the enormously successful Carving a Wooden Puppet course that was fully subscribed last year. John Roberts is again making the journey up north to run this great week of training. Then two of Horse + Bamboo's Associate Artists, Loz Kaye and Mark Whitaker are joining forces to lead Taking The Leap, an intensive weeks course that will introduce participants to the company's current working practices. For further information go to the workshops page.
STAR MATTER AVAILABLE TO BUY ON FROM H+B ONLINE SHOP!		Star Matter is a fascinating book which offers ideas for developing an awareness and appreciation of where we’ve come from and where we’re going to. It discusses some of the bigger questions and explains concepts such as Deep Time, the planets, the stars and the origin of matter that even we humans are composed of. Star Matter contains interesting facts and ideas, with pointers and suggestions for those wishing to apply these concepts to educating young people. The book relates to the ideas which inspired H+B’s latest touring production DEEP TIME CABARET. Click here to go to H+B's online store.
VEIL CD NOW AVAILABLE TO BUY!		Horse + Bamboo present the long awaited VEIL soundtrack composed by Loz Kaye. Veil captures the epic sweep of Horse + Bamboo's production - two continents - two generations divided by war, but bound together by fate. Loz Kaye's music spans these worlds exploring the thrilling sound of arabic music, but giving it a powerfully rhythmic contemporary setting. It features Loz on vocals, flutes, trumpet, keyboards, percussion and programming and arabic narration by Faliha Kadhim. Click here to find out how to buy the CD.
