NNF20 Artists: Matthew Harrison
Matthew Harrison is an artist, animator and filmmaker who aims to engage people of all ages and backgrounds in creative activity and participation. The majority of his work combines traditional, hands-on techniques with modern technology. He is a Great Yarmouth local who strongly believes in the value of social and physical interaction between people and objects, and the need in modern day society for real experience and participation.
Festival fans may remember Matthew Harrison’s Actual Reality Arcade, which was commissioned by Norfolk and Norwich Festival in 2017. It has since toured successfully for the past three years with continued interest and success.
Local Legend: Elizabeth Talbot
Elizabeth is the Director of TW Gaze Diss Auction Rooms and an auctioneer with over 30 years of experience in her field. She learned the trade in the 1980s, and became one of the youngest female auctioneers in the UK. Elizabeth will be familiar to many listeners following her regular appearances on the BBC’s Flog It and Bargain Hunt. Elizabeth also appeared as an expert valuer on the precursor to many of today’s antiques shows, the BBC’s Going For a Song.
Great Yarmouth Takeover
Max, Ruby, Elise & Amelia are taking over Radio Local together with St George’s Theatre!
St. George’s Theatre is Great Yarmouth’s only all year round theatre, housed in a stunningly converted Grade I listed former chapel building in the town centre’s historic King Street district. Run by Creative Director Debbie Thompson, St George’s Theatre is largely volunteer led except for a handful of key staff. St George’s Theatre runs both an Adult and Youth Theatre group, and they also have a host of community groups that use the space including: Community Singers, Ballroom and Latin Dance, Golden Threads (Social group for the elderly) and a Knit and Natter group.
