ALL WELCOME
Barely have we recovered from the “SPOKE” Word Festival that we are back into our much-loved spoken word event ‘Take a Deep Breath…Poetry Unplugged’!
Yes- the 3rd Tuesday of every month comes around very quickly and the first Poetry Unplugged event for 2011 is next Tuesday, 15 March!
Let’s kick-off the new year in spectacular style! Lots of you have warmed up in "SPOKE" gives it up and "SPOKE" slams it with memorable readings and performances - let's reprise some of them!
Wallace and Gromit's World of Invention
Wallace and Gromit's World of Invention is our first feature DVD of March thanks to ABC DVD and Roadshow.
It is a very natural fit for those loveable characters who made cheese and sheep so popular, Wallace and Gromit, to move into infotainment.
On this DVD these six programs look at the world of invention related to transportation, communication, robotics and more. There is even some fascinating material on bomb sniffing bees and invisibility experiments.
What a wonderful world of invention it proves to be with these two and the rest of their team!
Looking at the six part series on DVD it is immediately obvious how this would be useful in the classroom. The characters are well established with broad appeal that is lasting very well and the animation remains top quality. All of the trappings are easy to understand (the DVD interface) without looking too juvenile and the content is useful.
The enjoyability factor is high, add to that the actual currency of the information and the way it is presented; clearly with individual experts being interviewed and demonstrations of experiments often involved, this is great stuff. I like the transition from infotainment from pure entertainment in terms of character journey as well. The inventiveness of Wallace along with his helper Gromit has always been the spice that makes their romps fun.
Watching this machine and that invention go horribly wrong, or wonderfully right is good entertainment. Hooking the imagination of young minds through the wheel and cog world of ropes and hinges and then ushering them through to experimenting with bomb sniffing bumble-bees is deft management of the personalities involved. W and G must love their real world team, keeping them current and riding the well deserved wave of popularity they have so far achieved.
