HYPATIA WOMAN
OF THE MONTH
November 2024 - Bridget Crowley - Dancer, Teacher, Author
Back in April this year, Bridget gave a talk at entitled “Whatever Next..?” sharing her very full and varied life, taking us through her "desert island discs" and memories of her extraordinary life in the arts. So it’s only natural for us to celebrate her publicly in this way!
We asked Bridget which women inspire her:
“The many women I work amongst, who achieve things quietly and without a fuss are an inspiration, especially when they share my sense of humour. I believe in fun to help the learning along.”
Read more about Bridget in our full interview.

Join us for a talk from Lynne Jones on the subject of her newly published book Sorry for the Inconvenience But This Is an Emergency: The Nonviolent Struggle for Our Planet’s Future.
The book is an insider’s candid account of our new era of mass protest, calling passionately for action against existential threats. The talk will focus on how can we create a more democratic society, where we all have a voice? and will be followed by an opportunity for an open discussion.

Where to Start?
A Creative Writing Workshop
with Gail Owen
Tuesday 3rd December, 5pm
Stories surround us. We grow up with stories. We instinctively know what a story is; and yet, no matter how compelling our urge to write one may be, often the hardest thing is simply knowing where to start.
This two-hour creative writing workshop will unpack that storytelling instinct, taking a practical look at ways of thinking about a main character's obstacles and needs, and how to use those needs to develop storyline.
Whether you're a first time writer or looking to reinvigorate a long-term project, this friendly, supportive workshop will provide inspiration for your novel, short story or novella. Join us; it'll be really fun! Please bring a notepad and pen.
