Venue, Timing and Cost

A journey from East to West using poetry, song and script to tell fascinating Ashmolean-inspired stories.
Local writer and poet Diana Moore will be presenting a selection of poems that she's written based on art and objects in various galleries of the museum. In writing these poems, she was inspired to create a new arts-based writing and performance workshop for children and adults.
She has also published books listed below which can be used as art and poetry resources. There is music, drama, song and script bringing ideas for creative writing and scope for performing the pieces in many ways.
