While the doors may be closed, Lakeside Arts’ team, associate artists and the many fabulous companies and artists working with Lakeside Arts continue to work hard to bring insights, activities, recommended reading, music playlists and much more to help nourish as many souls as possible.

As part of this, Pro-Vice-Chancellor Professor Jessica Corner invited Lakeside to help find time away from lockdown video conferencing to pause, relax and think.

Lakeside Arts have responded by contacting some of their many artist friends who have provided short pieces to share with colleagues.

Over the next few weeks you’ll see contributions from professional artists, and from amongst the University’s own community of talented staff and students. Let us know what you think by using the hashtags #WeAreUoN and #InWithLakeside

Today (3 July) will be the final in the Pause series and will feature a video to reflect the ten weeks of Pause moments that we have enjoyed.

The video reflects on ten weeks of short works created by some of Lakeside’s artist friends and the moments these have provided to encourage all our audiences, including University staff and students, to pause, relax and think.

Thank you for Pausing with Lakeside.  You are all encouraged to continue to enjoy Lakeside’s programme over the coming weeks and months #WeAreUoN #InWithLakeside
