Seems that Lichfield has the potential to truly capture a moment. The lead up to the imminent launch of Speakers' Corner Lichfield (SCL) seems to be coinciding with increased national awareness of the role of eloquence and the power of speech, with television shows like the Lost Art of Oratory (hopefully) showing what is possible if you choose your words with precision. SCL will be an excellent opportunity for locals to ride this wave, providing a focus for all people to voice their concerns, their views, their passions, even their anger.
It is a wonder then why more people are not leaping at the opportunity to get free lessons in public speaking being held on 19 April and 26 April at the Lichfield Garrick. There are still places left, and these workshops aim to give people the skills and confidence to say what's on their mind in front of an audience. More information is available via 01543 412121.
Tonnes of work has been going on behind the scenes involving students from both the Lichfield School of Art and Central Saint Martins School of Art and Design. An exhibition of this process starts on 20 April, but I'll pass on more information when it becomes available.
The Lichfield Festival will be holding a free SCL event on 11 July with Susie Dent at the helm.
