2 days' community engagement workshops

Sinéad O'Donnell and I had community engagement workshops for 4 groups of local people in Ballymena from 29th to 30th January at Braid Arts Centre and Dunclug Community Centre.
In these workshops after my introduction of "Five Apples" project, I let all participants listen 3 songs of "The Beatles" as one of my apple sculptures are related to "The Beatles".
With listening lyric of the song which they selected, they have made a painting of the song with their imagination.  That's the similar method how I visualize apple sculptures with my imagination.
Everybody' s painting is now installed in The Braid Arts Centre to exhibit.  Please check them out when you stop by.

私たちは1月29日から30日までバレミーナの4つの異なるグループの人々のために、ブレイド・アート・センターとダンクラグ・コミュニティ・センターで、ワークショップを開催しました。このワークショップでは、「五個の林檎」プロジェクトの紹介の後、1つの林檎がビートルズに因んだ林檎であるように、全ての参加者に3曲のビートルズ・ナンバーを聞いてもらいました。その中から好きな一曲を選んでもらい、歌詞を聞きながら想像力を使ってその曲の絵を描いてもらいました。それは自分が林檎を彫刻作品として想像力で具体化するのと同じ方法です。参加者皆さんの絵が今ブレイドアートセンターに展示されてます。立ち寄ったら、是非見てみて下さい。

3 songs of "The Beatles" I picked
自分が選んだビートルズの3曲
1. Blackbird
2. Penny Lane
3. There's a Place





















(1) Blackbird
written by  John Lennon / Paul McCartney

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be free

Blackbird fly, blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night

Blackbird fly, blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise


(2) Penny Lane
written by  John Lennon / Paul McCartney

In Penny Lane there is a barber showing photographs
Of every head he's had the pleasure to know
And all the people that come and go
Stop and say hello

On the corner is a banker with a motorcar
The little children laugh at him behind his back
And the banker never wears a mack
In the pouring rain, very strange

Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes
There beneath the blue suburban skies
I sit, and meanwhile back

In Penny Lane there is a fireman with an hourglass
And in his pocket is a portrait of the queen
He likes to keep his fire engine clean
It's a clean machine

Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes
A four of fish and finger pies
In summer, meanwhile back

Behind the shelter in the middle of a roundabout
The pretty nurse is selling poppies from a tray
And though she feels as if she's in a play
She is anyway

In Penny Lane the barber shaves another customer
We see the banker sitting waiting for a trim
And then the fireman rushes in
From the pouring rain, very strange

Penny lane is in my ears and in my eyes
There beneath the blue suburban skies
I sit, and meanwhile back
Penny lane is in my ears and in my eyes
There beneath the blue suburban skies
Penny Lane


(3)There's A Place
written by  John Lennon / Paul McCartney

There, there's a place
Where I can go
When I feel low
When I feel blue

And it's my mind
And there's no time
When I'm alone

I think of you
The things you do
Go 'round my head
The things you've said
Like, "I love only you"

In my mind there's no sorrow
Don't you know that it's so?
There'll be no sad tomorrow
Don't you know that it's so?

There, there's a place
Where I can go
When I feel low
When I feel blue

And it's my mind
And there's no time
When I'm alone

There's a place
There's a place
There's a place
There's a place
