Sunday 3rd November, 3pm at James Allen's Girls' School Lindsay McCrae is an award-winning cameraman. His career has really taken off, culminating in the TV documentary Dynasties about emperor penguins, narrated by Sir David Attenborough and watched by eight million people in November 2018. Lindsay spent an extraordinary year in the Antarctic living alongside the most resilient creatures in nature. He endured unimaginable weather conditions and witnessed behaviour new to science, all the while living isolated on an Antarctic ice shelf for an entire winter that lasts eight months. And finally, how could anyone forget the intervention he and the crew took to save the penguins from death in the storm? 'My Penguin Year' is Lindsay?s story and the culmination of a childhood dream. An event for all the family, Lindsay will be discussing his extraordinary journey and sharing some stories and photographs of his expedition to film the incredible emperor penguins ? from a frost bitten nose to near impossible journeys across a harsh landscape, and being over 15,000 km from home with no way back for a whole year. This event is suitable for the whole family - budding cameramen and camerawomen welcome! Copies of Lindsay's book will be available to purchase before and after the event and Lindsay will be signing books after the event. Tickets ?10, Under 18s ?8. Presented by Village Books and hosted at James Allen's Girl's School. Book tickets here: https://www.trybooking.com/uk/book/event?eid=8154&

Feet off the Ground are delighted to invite you to the performance of The Way They Were Then, a dance piece inspired by Eduardo Galeano?s book entitled ??Mujeres??, a collection of short stories about women who left imprints big and small across the globe. The piece explores themes of female empowerment, oppression, rebellion and unity. As part of the research and development for the piece, the collective worked closely with a group of local women in Nottingham whose voices and stories have directly influenced the work. Feet off the Ground will be bringing the piece to JAGS as part of the Festival of Women?s Education. The collective will be joined by a group of pupils from the Foundation Schools including girls from JAGS. There will also be a post-show Q&A, an opportunity to gain further insight into the company and their work. Date: Thursday 26th September Time: 7:30pm Location: James Allen's Girls' School, 144 East Dulwich Grove SE22 8TE Tickets: Adults ?10, Concessions ?8.
