This Tuesday: Levenshulme social centre holds ‘Ideas Night’

Article published: Monday, May 9th 2011

South Manchester community centre Levenshulme Inspire is holding an ‘Ideas Night’ this Tuesday evening. Members of the public are invited to share their views for how the non-profit venue can develop as a host for local activities, entertainment and workshops.

“We want to be the FC United of Levenshulme, showing off the talent of local people and getting the community together to generate a thriving Levenshulme scene” said Kate Chappell, director of the centre and newly elected councillor for neighbouring Rusholme, in a reference to Manchester’s fan-owned co-operative football club.

Founded on the renovated site of Levenshulme United Reformed Church on Stockport Road, since opening last autumn the community hub provides a venue for group activities including Latin American dance nights, beginners’ English lessons, relaxation and meditation classes and regular film screenings.

A ‘social enterprise’, Levenshulme Inspire is funded through room hire and collaborates with Bubble Café, which offers employment and volunteering opportunities for people with mental health issues. The meeting will start 7pm Tuesday May 10.

Halloween creatures invade Manchester early: chance to win two tickets to the Illuminaughty Halloween party!

A heavy mist suddenly falls on a darkened Manchester hiding from sight unspeakably hideous creatures. Drums can be heard in the distance lulling you into a hypnotic trance, the work of witches and daemons no doubt. Or perhaps Voodoo ring masters, descending onto the city streets armed with psychedelic beats banged out by their armies of musical Goblins possessed with the desire for mischief and fun. It must be that time of year again; it can only be the Illuminaughty Halloween party.

Science Slam: a synergy of science and poetry transcends expectations

Poetry and science are two things generally not associated with each other, in fact if you joined the two in a word association test you would be one step closer to a chemical cosh and your very own padded cell. However the audience attending the Science Slam at the packed out Nexus Art Cafe Thursday night will never again doubt the validity of the two pursuits being combined; though I can’t rule out they may end up bouncing of the walls of a padded cell at some time in the future.

Review: Greater Manchester Fringe Festival – A Dream Play

We were outside Nexus Art Café in the Northern Quarter, queuing, when a car raced up, the driver shoved a woman to the pavement and the performance began. This was the introduction to the character Aggie in A Dream Play by the Déjà Vu Ensemble, daughter of the gods, who has come to our world to learn what it means to be human.
