Staff changes at Craignish Hall ahead of Clod Ensemble’s visit

-

THERE have been some significan­t changes in personnel at Craignish Village Hall recently.

John Saich has been appointed as the new arts programmes manager and has taken up responsibi­lity for all theatre, music and dance programmin­g at the hall, while Tiziana Tedoldi is now the hall manager.

Working with a committed team of volunteers, both new managers are planning exciting projects for the year ahead and rolling out the final few weeks of the 2016-17 arts programme.

The 2016-17 season will be culminatin­g in style with a number of performanc­es, most notably Clod Ensemble’s award-winning production, The

Red Chair, which has recently featured on BBC Radio Scotland’s Janice Forsyth show. The performanc­e will take place on Wednesday March 15, starting at 7.30pm.

Everyone is welcome to attend and get a taste of what’s to come from John and the team in the future.

The Red Chair is an intimate new show from the ensemble and has a dark, original fairy tale at its heart.

Ballad

The show takes the form of a surreal ballad that centres on a man who could not stop eating, a wife doomed to cook his meals and their invisible daughter. Writer and performer Sarah Cameron uses Scots dialect and traditiona­l music to tell a story of compulsion, complacenc­y and drudgery.

Craignish Village Hall has gained a reputation as a first-class community hub and arts venue.

John is very much looking forward to working with Tiziana, all the volunteers and members of the community to build on the successes of the recent tenth anniversar­y programme.

The programme offers some outstandin­g performanc­es, with shows and events through until April.
