The Common Players

The Apple Educator

Heather Fallowes our Apple Educator is working on the projectas a visual artist, visiting primary schools with a curriculum linked plan of activities to engage young people in their cultural heritage. She is offering a one-day workshop to a class within local primary schools to create 3D apple tree sculptures to put into a school wall display. During the day Heather will also talk about local apple varieties, heritage and traditions and the children will be offered the opportunity to taste some really local apples.

Heather is also available for a more extended project over two days, which would involve her creating the wall display with some children of the apple sculptures.

Our Apple Educator is available from Weds 1st October 2008

HeathenHarvest is a newly-commissioned evening show based onthe traditions of music hall and cabaret and will take place around an eveningHarvest Supper or community meal   

During ourvisits to 24 venues last year, we were often asked if it would be possible tohave just Pomona our unique apple press visit a community and press their spareapples.  This year the answer is aresounding "Yes!"  Ideally we wouldlove to combine a press visit with one of the other exciting elements  we are offering this year, such as theevening hall show, Heathen Harvest. However we are able to offer a limited number of press visits only.
