posted on by Andrew Osmond
The author Helen McCarthy will deliver lectures on "The Art History of Studio Ghibli" at three venues in November and December: at the Maddermarket Theatre in Norwich on Thursday November 27 at 7.30 p.m., doors open 7 p.m (tickets); at the Square One Bar in Coventry on Tuesday December 2 at 7.30 p.m., doors open 7 p.m. (tickets); and at Dance City in Newcastle upon Tyne on Monday December 15 at 7.30 p.m., doors open 7 p.m. (tickets).
The lecture is described as follows:
"... There's a lot more to Studio Ghibli than just movies. Its art is driven by inspiration from Japanese and Western art, by energies from the streets of Japan and by the mystical qualities of its traditions and its wild places.
"Helen McCarthy, who wrote the first books in English on anime and on Ghibli's co- founding director Hayao Miyazaki, will take you on a journey through the studio's history and inspiration, with time and space to appreciate selected artworks and a list of sources – books, websites and places to visit - if you want to explore further."
