A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens has been transformed into a piece of hip hop dance at London’s Sadler's Wells East, and a Bollywood infused song and dance extravaganza for the big screen. We hear from the creatives behind the new versions, Bend it Like Beckham director Gurinder Chadha and choreographer Dannielle Rhimes Lecointe.
Beyond the Visual is the first of its kind in the UK - an exhibition co-curated by visually impaired artists. Held at the Henry Moore Institute in Leeds, the exhibition encourages visitors to touch the displays, listen to audio descriptions, and does much to make sure it truly is art for all, and all the senses. Joining Nick in the studio are artist and co-curator of the exhibition, Dr. Aaron McPeake and Dr. Clare O’Dowd the research curator at the Henry Moore Institute.
A Little Trickerie by Rosanna Pike has been announced as the winner of the Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse Prize for Comic Fiction. The 2005 winner of the prize, A Short History of Tractors in Ukraniain, by the late author Marina Lewycka was declared the "winner of winners" over the last twenty five years of the prize. To investigate what makes a funny novel, Nick is joined by critic and Wodehouse fan Tristram Fane Saunders and three-time Wodehouse Prize nominee Lissa Evans.
