30/07 : Quotes from the great Albert Einstein
“Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of Truth and Knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods.”“We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.”
"Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving"

08/07 : FORUM POSTS
In the last six months there have been lots of new members. PLease feel free to pass comment on any of the forums or open a new thread or suggest a brand new forum. Moveable Feast began live as an artist-led network generated by live events that looked at workshop practice. Although these events have now largely become events commissioned by arts organisations, we still very much want to keep the network alive.To this end, we are constantly looking at ways to put on Moveable Feasts as workshops about workshopping for workshoppers (suggestions welcome) . In the meantime , the best we can do is keep this website alive and growing.So, please interact and let us know what you think, feel and have discovered in your practice. Register and then you need to LOG IN to particiate in FORUMS or indeed leave a comment below a NEWS ITEM (such as this) or write in the CHATBOX. Monday 21 June 2010
21/06 : THE NEWS IS NO NEWS AND THATS GOOD NEWS
It has been a while since there has been much to report and a while since there has been any time to do any reporting. A lot of us have been leading a search for The Lost Land of Play in the mythical kingdom of Sharpoom with many many young folk from the Torbay area. This has been an excellent adventure characterised at the end of a day's questing by a girl announcing that she had discovered that her imagination was enough for her to play and she did not have to buy things. Made us happy!!On a smaller scale we have been closing up the documentation of a year long project on learning in the Dartmouth learning Community that ended with 36 children running a training day for all the teaching staff that they poignantly named "In Our Shoes". For those there with the will to look beyond, there was some great stuff to be had from the young leaders on how they learn.
Last week we ran a one day Transition event at Dartmouth Community College where the new intake were cast as anthropological researchers into the new school. They had some great findings and the set-up of the whole day resulted in a really sound mixing up of old friends and new friends.
In the interim we are still hoping to put on some events in the old Moveable Feast tradition run by artists for artists about our art as workshop leaders. The flame is a little thinner but it is still burning. Olympiad stuff!

28/04 : AGM
The AGM was excellent this year. We reminisced on the £100,000 (minus £167) worth of work we did and determined that we don't intend to repeat that experience for a while because it created creaks, cranks and strains. On the other hand, the level of work enabled new things to happen and we can look back on some rocky roads and know that we got through them. So, overall we felt good! Richer for the experience, better off in the bank and still determined to resist institutionaliising ourselves.
We spent the earlier part of the day playing with the idea of Moveable Feast as a quest. This led to the usual unusual array of eccentric imaginative wanderings in the land of visuals, dramatics and words.
A good time was had and we ate well!
