Roof repair project update https://www.trinitybristol.org.uk/about/conservation/news/roof-repair-project-update Trinity Community Arts (TCA) is half way through a roof repair project, funded by English Heritage, Biffa Award and The Pilgrim Trust The programme of works, which commenced in March 2013, is a scheme of roof repair and masonry works that will help to secure the future fabric of the building.

English Heritage funding was used in 2009 to carry out a conditions survey of the former Holy Trinity Church. The survey identified perforations to the south aisle lead roof – a sign of underside lead-corrosion caused by moisture getting trapped between the roof leadwork and underside insulation.

The roof repair works scheme, totalling over £140,000 will be followed by a programme of development works funded by the Big Lottery Reaching Communities Buildings Fund. The scheme of development works include improvements to the external grounds, creation of a new daytime reception and installation of heating, a sprung wooden floor, lighting and drapes in the upstairs hall space to make it suitable for activities such as dance, fitness and performance, as well as weddings and parties. The work will help to create a second smaller hall space, suitable for IT classes, community meetings and smaller functions.

This period of change cannot happen without support. If you would like to organise your own fundraising activities for the Centre, visit: JustGiving.com/TrinityCommunityArts. You can also make a small, one-off donation via JustGiving Trinity Text Appeal 2013 text TRIN13 £5 to 70070 to donate to Trinity and make a difference today.

Their two decades of patiently aching songs have provided a constant reference point for integrity, meditative rage and tenderness. Song titles are brief, lyrics are sparsely elusive and profoundly allusive. Spirituality, disquiet, death, and the search for unity pour out of chord shifts, harmonies and melodies - unrecognised or not. Low are a lot more than minimalists. Their gracious performances invite deep involvement and their songs present brilliantly uncomfortable questions and precious few answers.

Tonight in Bristol their sound was deep and loud (especially in "Monkey" from The Great Destroyer). Steve Garrington's bass was almost cruel in its precision and resonance. Alan Sparhawk's guitars roared when they weren't whispering. He was in truculent communion with the universe, expressing his normal laconic wit in wordless gestures and physical moves. "For your boys in Dubai…" was his shrugged opening line, introducing the unsettling "Plastic Cup" from the new album. He is a very handsome man.

Mimi Parker sang her songs and harmonies as beautifully as only she can, repressing something that wasn't being said by giving nothing away. Sixteen songs and two encores were presented – and they were all magnificent. The Trinity audience were reverentially silent (and the last words of the last song "I Hear Goodnight" were whispered – but every bit as audible as the shrugs)

The new album "The Invisible Way" was threaded through some of the best know classics like "Canada" and "Walk Into The Sea". The new songs maintained the high quality and intensity that Low's admirers expect. Trinity's audience were spellbound throughout .

Hibronix, a project of David Blumberg, formerly of Yuck, opened the evening with three big pieces of slurred and slowed Sparklehorse-like drone , supported on two by sidemen Sparhawk and Garrington. ("my backing band", he quipped) . What a very good night it was.

Oxygen – A new play by Natalie McGrath

100 years ago imagine that fifteen women gather // They have a conversation that maps eight geographic arteries across England and Wales, like points on a compass //  These arteries reach out towards a singular destination like roots forming a tree // The destination is Hyde Park // It’s June, 1913 and the Great Suffrage Pilgrimage begins.

A tour of a new play from Lands End to London between Thursday 20th June to 19th July 2013 // Remembering when 15 women became 1000s…

"The ensemble effectively conveys the characters’ emotional resilience with astonishing delicacy, tenderness and subtlety - an unsentimental testimony to the courage of women who braved weather, hostility and sickness for their belief.

"Claire Ingleheart’s music perfectly captures the rapture and exhilaration of the dream as well as the poignancy of loss and exhaustion it demanded. Songs in which the women sing in harmony are especially moving, seeming to say, ‘We walk for the women who cannot’."

One of the key aims of the project was to create a sustainable café, supported by volunteer input, that could eventually offer paid work opportunities to volunteers as the project grows and develops. The ethos of the café is to provide healthy eating vegetarian/vegan options, which are in short supply in the local area, increase access to the Internet for the community by providing free wi-fi and computer terminals as well as offering an exhibition space for local artists and contributing to the ongoing regeneration of the Old Market area.

In order to help us better realise this vision, Trinity is now working in partnership with the Uprising Bakery, which provides vegetarian and vegan food and will start to work with local groups like the Trinity garden group to provide fresh seasonal veg locally sourced. Through this partnership, the Arts West Side project now has increased capacity to support and develop volunteer and participatory opportunities within the café space and is better placed to move towards creating real paid work for individuals as café footfall and catering enquiries increase.

In line with this, we are also developing a project and is seeking funding to provide a volunteer coordinator who is able to support other volunteers to develop and run regular activities, providing advice and support as well as access to small project budgets for volunteers to set up and deliver their own activities (for materials and flyers, for example). As part of the application, we will also seek some funding to cover workshops around the café led by the Uprising Bakery, as well as Food Hygiene certificates for core volunteers working in the café. Finally, the application will include a budget for a pair of laptops so that the café is better placed to offer free internet access to the local community.

The café will be open every day 11am-5pm and, if you are interested in volunteering, Ellie from the Uprising Bakery will be there to meet, greet and induct any new or existing volunteers. Jamell from Trinity is working to continue the coordination of a rotating Arts Exhibitions Programme, so please get in touch if you are a local artist interested in exhibiting work. Kate Marsden will be working to support any new or existing volunteers wishing to develop arts/community workshops (such as our 'stitch and b*tch' workshop, pictured right) and if you have any questions or for more information or to discuss how you want to be involved please contact westside@3ca.org.uk or join our Arts West Side Facebook group.

After sixteen months of workshops, events and competitions, the Bridges Project (funded by the Arts Council) has culminated in a theatrical show The Ithaca Axis - a bold retelling of Homer's The Odyssey.

The Ithaca Axis draws from ideas and themes developed during regular Thursday acting workshops, as well as from a series of art and dance workshops in held in summer 2012 and the Bridges Exhibition.

In keeping with the theme of the Bridges Project, it celebrates the links between Bristol's communities and imagines what would happen if these links were destroyed.

Following last year's roundwood timber framing, dry stone walling and roofing workshops, funded by Award for All (BLF), Trinity's Outdoor Kitchen it's looking to be finished by the end of March, to welcome the Spring in to our garden!

The finished kitchen will be accessible to the community all year round and will hopefully encourage individuals and groups from different ages and backgrounds to cook the food they grow in a shared space.

This time round, workshops will include: Strawbale walling * Earth bags (mesh bag) * Roundwood timber framing (mostly braces) * Earthen plastering and lime wash * Cob rocket stove * Tool sharpening * Joinery * Pallet walls with woodchip clay infill * Tree talk at (in Leah Woods or Westonbirt Arboretum) * Tour around some natural buildings

We'll have a fire, hot drinks and lunch but bring something to share with all!

This is a FREE course but we only have 5 places available.

The week before starting the workshops, 4th-8th March, we'll be collecting materials and getting the site ready. There will be 1 or 2 places to help with this. You can learn where to source materials for free or cheaply and what goes into preparing for a build.

For more information or to book a place, call or email Pete: 07854 486 517 / petellewellyn@hotmail.co.uk
