The Pitmen Painters reminds us that arts funding can change lives
Lee Hall on minors who have discovered the power of painting is more powerful than ever - but I doubt that could happen now
Pitmen Paintersseen Lee Hall is back last week and despite seeing a West End theater is not the same as seen near where the events of the work was realized I found so funny and moving than I did when I saw the first live theater in Newcastle in 2007. In all cases, the game room on the Ashington Colliery workers who picked up their brushes in a class of EMP and began to paint what they saw around them feel more urgent now that it did four years ago, and mapping not only the collapse of the working class politics, but also welcomes the collapse of access to the arts.
is a rapidly accelerating collapse because of what happens in schools and universities. Arts in our schools are being squeezed as the English LAC (Ebac) - a regressive model of education that includes art materials - take precedence in the GCSE, and the humanities at the university level are under threat serious. Conclude with what Richard Eyre described a cultural apartheid in which only those who grow the middle class will get to see and do theater or play an instrument - or become a theater of its officers, directors or actors. The Pitmen Painters seen in the afternoon when the stage was reported that if the government's proposals are pushed through the Conservatory of dance schools and theater to see a 15% decline in student numbers. That if £ 9,000 a year, certain expenses do not put young people in the first application, and cutting regimes that future work and find your Talent prevent young people can explore opportunities in the arts.
- earlier this year at the What now? discussion at the Young Vic, Director Elizabeth Phillips talked about instant transformations in school life and the results that occurred when the school gave over 20% of class time for English and mathematics to the arts. The results: "Improved attendance beyond belief," "improving education", "from the GCSE results".
John Berger said that "talent whose work is accompanied by a need for art." Painters Ashington knew, and by the end of his life a member of the group, Oliver Kilbourn He did say: "A funny thing: once you've painted a picture, I think it is a part of his life." What I like Pitmen Painters' is the direct connection established between the done and appreciate, and the importance of participating, not just consumption. It also highlights the links between culture and education and the impact of the arts in society and the welfare of every day . As Hall says: "Culture is something we all share and we are all poorer for those who are excluded." However, around us are closing the doors to a generation of young people who are excluded from access to the arts and even the local library.
