A Message from Paul Meyer, Subject Leader for Creative Writing
Hello everyone.
We have been given an exciting opportunity by the University of Bath to send a student to Zambia next year.
Zambia? Why?
Every year, the University of Bath sends a handful of students to Zambia to teach physical education in the schools.
Next year, they would like us to send a student from BSU interested in writing, film and journalism to chronicle their activities via blogs, a website and videos.
In order to be selected you must:
-- raise approximately £2500 through your own fundraising activities
-- show competence using video equip. (cameras, microphones, etc.)
-- be adventurous (ie: willing to ride on a bus from one side of Lusaka to another on your own)
-- be willing to teach local students how to use laptops, cameras, etc. (so they can continue to chronicle their sports activities after your team returns to the UK)
A real challenge. But could be perfect for one of you!
If you are interested, please write back to Paul Meyer p.meyer[a]bathspa.ac.uk and I will send you the necessary forms, etc.

HCI Careers Day
You may have heard the SCHI is planning a 'careers day' for May 10th.
It it is only for students in English, History, Creative Writing, Media, Film, Philosophy & Ethics, Study of Religions and Cultural Studies. It is being supported by your subject tutors, and it is going to be informative and maybe even fun.
There are two focal points to the event: the SU, which will have stalls from some interesting employers (definitely no banks or nasty call centres) and the downstairs lecture theatre in Newton (NE.G02). We have quite a few ex-students coming in, some people working in publishing, charities, a poet, and hopefully Guns N' Roses ex-PR manager (which should be worth coming along for alone!).
Nothing too cheesy, something short and snappy, something that sounds positive. As an incentive we are offering £50 in book tokens to the winning entry, and you can enter more than once.
DEADLINE NOON ON FRIDAY MARCH 31st.
Announcement of winner the following week.
Email your entries to m.leverton@bathspa.ac.uk.

Filmmaker talk at Newton Park
T H E E D G E O F D R E A M I N G. A Documentary by Amy Hardie
A woman dreams her horse is dying. She wakes to find him dead. Then she dreams this year will be her last.
Filmmaker Amy Hardie is visiting Newton Park on Thursday 18th November. She will be talking about her recent documentary ‘The edge of dreaming’ in advance of it’s screening in the evenings as part of the Bath Film Festival. Please come to hear her talk in SNG01 from 2 – 4pm.
Here’s what the film festival has to say about the film.
Scottish Filmmaker Amy Hardie's The Edge of Dreaming explores life and death in the context of a warm and loving family, whose happiness is increasingly threatened by a dream. The film's structure weaves documentary and experimental practice. The result is breathtakingly beautiful. It is the story of a rational, pragmatic woman, who does not remember her dreams. Except once, when she dreams her horse is dying and wakes immediately to discover her horse is in fact dead. The next dream brings a message from her long-deceased former partner, who tells her she will die herself. When Amy falls seriously ill, she goes on a search to change her dream, a deeply personal journey that leads her to an eminent neuroscientist and a shaman.

Relays
Calling Department of Film and Media Production students!
This week, IlluminateBath put out a call for ideas and participation responding to the festival theme of ‘Kinetic Energy and Light’. The Department of Film and Media Production is offering to help students get together to explore ideas and put together a proposal.
Have an idea and unsure how to develop it into a proposal?
Have an idea and would like the involvement of others to explore it and make it possible?
Not sure of an idea, but would like to be involved?
If this sounds like you, please get in contact. We can see what can be done to help you share ideas and explore the possibilities and practicalities of proposals.
Contact Dr Dan Ashton by Tuesday 18th May
IlluminateBath information
IlluminateBath is a new festival that will run for two weeks from 1 - 13 November 2010. BSU students and staff are organising IlluminateBath and the festival will also feature their creative work. It’s being funded by RELAYS, which is a Cultural Olympiad project to engage young people with sport and culture in the run up to London 2012.
This is your chance to participate by proposing ideas. Possible work will be:
Dance, sculpture, film, music, animation, stories, poetry, projections, clothing, installations, plays, location based games, 3D design, interventions, shows (of specific work), mass participation events, VJing, painting, printing.
The brief is to create a response to the festival’s theme of Kinetic Energy and Light. We will be projecting on buildings in a variety of locations throughout Bath (when given permission) and we also intend to show installation/ intervention work in shop windows and outdoor locations. A range of events are being planned including talks, guided tours and workshops. We are organising locations for performances to take place (e.g. Green Park Station, Southgate shopping centre). The festival is a chance to get your work shown to a mass audience!
