Gala Theatre, The Blue Room, Millennium Place, Durham, DH1 1WA Contact See website for further details Marcus Coates has developed an international reputation for an ongoing series of performances and Shamanic rituals made into films and photographs that recall the animal cults of pre-modern societies. Whether dressed as a stag at a gathering of the baffled tenants of a condemned Liverpool tower block or training people to mimic the dawn chorus, Coates' work reconsiders the spiritual roles of animals and nature in postmodern society. Through a combination of his earnestness as a Shaman, the absurdity of the Shamanic ritual in a contemporary setting, and his deadpan documentary style Coates inadvertently exposes class structures and calls into question the need for a reconnection with our origins. During this programme Marcus will talk about his work and in particular his influences and the process of making artists films and videos. Following the talk Workplace will screen a selection of Marcus' recent films and videos. Gala Box Office Info Tickets for all Gala shows are available at the Box Office.

This atmospheric series of photographs by Tim Brennan explores how geography, personal memory and social history intersect. In the tradition of the seascape, the images depict the North Sea, where most of the North’s unmined coal still resides. The photographs in the exhibition have been created using a low-resolution mobile phone camera which when enlarged beyond clear definition, the images become hazy and impressionistic, suggesting the more abstract works of Turner. Tim Brennan is viewed as one of the most important artists to contribute to the social and political role of contemporary art particularly around minimalism, performance and land art. He is Programme Leader for MA Curating at the University of Sunderland. www.durham.gov.uk/dli |

From November to March the museum is open 11.30am to 3.30pm Friday to Monday. Entry to the museum is £1 for adults, 50p for children and concessions and is free for students. The exhibition delves into the history of the Old Fulling Mill Museum and gives visitors a rare opportunity to see some of the more unusual archaeological objects in the University’s collections, many of which are normally hidden from view in museum stores. Highlights of the new display include 2500 year-old painted vases from Greece; rare pots and figures from Chinese tombs; and exquisite inscribed seals from ancient Mesopotamia. Founded in 1833, only a year after Durham University itself, the Old Fulling Mill was only the second university museum in the country to open to the public. Craig Barclay, museum curator said: “This year we are celebrating 175 years since the original founding of a museum in the Old Fulling Mill. Our permanent displays focus very much on local archaeology so this exhibition gives us a chance to share with visitors a few of the rarities to be found our other collections. This exhibition reflects the history of the museum and of collecting at Durham University – these objects are quite literally the treasures in our attic.” www.dur.ac.uk/fulling.mill |

This atmospheric series of photographs by Tim Brennan explores how geography, personal memory and social history intersect. In the tradition of the seascape, the images depict the North Sea, where most of the North’s unmined coal still resides. The photographs in the exhibition have been created using a low-resolution mobile phone camera which when enlarged beyond clear definition, the images become hazy and impressionistic, suggesting the more abstract works of Turner. Tim Brennan is viewed as one of the most important artists to contribute to the social and political role of contemporary art particularly around minimalism, performance and land art. He is Programme Leader for MA Curating at the University of Sunderland. www.durham.gov.uk/dli |

At its centre is composer Charles Frieth – a compulsive womaniser - charismatic, egocentric and completely oblivious to the destructive desire about to be unleashed at the heart of his household. The brilliantly crafted text by Ian McEwan has all the elements that have made his novels Atonement, Enduring Love, Saturday and On Chesil Beach number one bestsellers. It has inspired a wonderful score from composer and broadcaster Michael Berkeley, filled with powerful undercurrents, dramatic force and impassioned vocal writing. www.galadurham.co.uk |
