Last weekend in worked for the fantastic London based arts charity Heart 'n' Soul at the Beautiful Octopus Club, hosted at the Royal Festival Hall. It is always an exciting and unique event, full of interactive activities and installations, as well as the main disco dance floor. My favourite thing about it is that even though it is a club night for people with learning disabilities, people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds come along, because it is on the southbank of London. This makes it such an inclusive event and a rare occassion when anyone can see and experience the great work that Heart 'n' Soul do. As usual I was helping in the Art Zone, which this time was planned and set-up by a very good artist and illustrator Ben Connors. He had a range of creative activities ready for anyone who wanted to join in; bracelet making, painting, badge-making and colouring, all inspired by the African / East London heritage of one of Heart 'n' Soul's regular attendees. I will look forward to the event again next summer.
