This two-day intensive course is led by Phil Rust (AKA Rebel Overlay). Introducing the skills involved with VJing, Phil will clarify the process of working with VJ-specific hardware and software to produce content and use it in a spontaneous and dynamic way. Participants will look at the basic techniques of VJing, as well as tips and tricks to quickly become self sufficient at creating, experimenting and performing with visuals.

In addition, organisation methods and codes of practice will be suggested to give learners a head start for when interacting with musicians, promoters and venue managers. A big part of being a successful VJ is about working as a team with other players in the clubbing and live arts industries.

Voices Across Time are excited to announce their return this Christmas with a new rendition of last years' sell-out show, 'I'll be Home for Christmas'.

20th December - BANBURY - St. Mary's Church. Doors at 7pm for a 7:30 pm start.
***
The Show...
17th December 1942: It is the evening of the school nativity and many excited children eagerly await their chance to perform. However, the nativity has not even begun when the sound of air raid sirens causes everyone to flee to the community air raid shelter to escape from the threat of bombing. As fear and frustration grip many of the community members and threatens to destroy all Christmas spirit, they discover that through music they have a way to restore their morale. As they begin to share their dreams and excitements with each other through song and dance, they realise they may even be able to truly celebrate Christmas by devising a way that the children can finally perform their nativity play!
***
Featuring both professional and amateur musicians and actors, I’ll be Home for Christmas will run for one night only at St. Mary’s Church, Banbury on Wednesday the 20th December. Voices Across Time will share a story of hope, heartache, determination, excitement, love and faith to welcome in Christmas with a sing-a-long show that embraces all the timeless classics from this era such as Vera Lynn's 'We'll Meet Again', 'The White Cliffs of Dover' and the
Andrews Sisters' 'Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy', as well the old festive favourites, that have brought meaning and comfort to millions over the years.

Tickets are £10 and £5 for children. They can be purchased by e-mailing boxoffice@voicesacrosstime.com or by calling 07532446665.
