30,000 pegs, 2,000 tonnes of soil, 2,000 tonnes of sand, 11 acres and 1 huge team effort combine to create the largest land-art portrait in the UK and Ireland.

The 2013 Ulster Bank Belfast Festival at Queen’s opened today (Thursday 17^th October) with a reveal of the largest land-art portrait in the UK and Ireland. Spanning 11 acres of land in Belfast’s Titanic Quarter,Wish is the portrait of an anonymous Belfast child which has been created by internationally acclaimed Cuban-American artist Jorge Rodriguez-Gerada in partnership with the City and its people. Using only natural materials and cutting edge satellite technology the final piece represents the largest piece the artist has ever created and will be free for all to view throughout the Festival.

For the next eleven days the Ulster Bank Belfast Festival at Queen’s will present over 70 different performances in venues in the North, South, East and West of the City. Director, Richard Wakely is thrilled to be opening with such a land-mark piece of work, “To present a piece of this quality and magnitude is staggering and provides a unique way to open this year’s Festival.  It is a free event that has enabled us to work closely with local businesses and volunteers and it is their commitment that has made it happen. We have 11 days of entertainment on offer throughout Belfast from 24 different countries with theatre, dance, visual arts, film and music filling spaces in all corners of the city. It is our Wish that everyone has the opportunity to enjoy it.”

Wish has been created in close partnership with the local community.  Local firms such as McLaughlin&Harvey, PT McWilliams and Lagan Construction Group provided materials, tools, machinery, staff and soil. Sand was provided by Tobermore and lime stone by Kilwaughter Lime -all free of charge.   The land was donated by the Titanic Quarter Limited , the project headquarters was provided by The Dock Café, the viewing platforms have been provide free of charge by W5, Belfast Metropolitan College, and Titanic Belfast.  Plus,   a core team worked alongside a host of community volunteers from groups such as NOW to provide hundreds of hours of their time to make it happen.  Other support was provided by the Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service, Titanic Foundation Limited and a major contribution from TOPCON who provided the GPS poles, technical support and training.

Artist Jorge Rodriguez-Gerada has produced similar pieces all over the world but is especially connected to his latest and largest project in Belfast, “I have created work in the States and all over Europe but this piece in Belfast has been a different experience for me.  The people have been overwhelming in their support and belief in the concept.  When I first started on this work it was only five acres but it grew both emotionally and physically.  Now, at 11 acres, it is my largest piece and I believe this magnitude is a fitting tribute to a city which has so much positivity to offer.”

Ellvena Graham, Head of Ulster Bank Northern Ireland reflects on the community nature of this opening event, “It’s encouraging to see so many people, businesses and organisations who have volunteered their time and resources to be part of this collaborative and ambitious land art project.   It is very fitting that a project which encouraged participation in the arts and is accessible to all opens this year’s Ulster Bank Belfast Festival at Queen’s.”

Roisin McDonough, Chief Executive of the Arts Council for Northern Ireland reflects on the magnitude of the project,” The Ulster Bank Belfast Festival at Queen’s is a truly international celebration bringing together arts and creativity from across the world under one cultural umbrella.  Wish is an inspirational and ambitious piece of public art that combines strong community spirit with contemporary arts practice – a union which is reflected throughout this year’s festival programme. It is a most fitting opening event.”

The 2013 Ulster Bank Belfast Festival at Queen’s would not be possible without the continuing support of various public and private sponsors, including Ulster Bank, the Arts Council of Northern Ireland, Belfast City Council, Northern Ireland Tourist Board, the EU, Queen’s University Belfast and the British Council. Plus, the many venues, performers and partner organisations whose commitment and passion bring the arts to life for all to enjoy.

The Ulster Bank Belfast Festival at Queen’s runs from 17th – 27th October at venues all over the city and Wish can be viewed free of charge from various specified locations within the Titanic Quarter throughout the Festival. To find out more and book tickets for any event visit www.belfastfestival.com  or call  box office on 02890 971197. ⧣BelFest

Sinéad Campbell Wallace steps in as Micaëla for this October run, with Owen Gilhooly as Escamillo and OTC YAA Maria Hughes in her professional operatic debut as Mercedes. American tenor Michael Wade Lee plays the role of Don José in this riveting tale of love, lust and betrayal.

One of the most popular operas of all time, Carmen has gripped audiences since its premiere and has lots of sizzling opera hits including the unforgettable Seguidilla and the Toreador’s song.

See the Moscow State Circus at the Titanic Quarter until October 14^th, with its latest and greatest production to date.  Superstar clowns  Pavlik & Klava invite the audience to Gorky Park, this wondrous & mysterious place, a place to romance, a place to stroll and take in Moscow at sunset and a place to see magnificent feats of human achievement, in many cases,  none of the which have ever been witnessed here before.  As their loveable buffoons reminisce about past times they are surrounded by a multitude of flying, back flipping, juggling and roller skating performers.  As the park changed in accordance with the mood of the new century, its traditions were the basis of the new concept of Park Gorkogo. These changes are reflected in the new show.  It swings from the award winning Flying Trapeze of Alievs White Birds to the whirlwind roller skating of the Veslovskis. From 3 bathing beauties on the revolving ariel ring to the vertical pole jugglers of the 4 Yakovleys. From the most elegant hand balancing of Vladislav Khostik to the gorgeous & gracious ariel sail of Natalia Goncharova. Add to the mix the Kozak whip crackers & the revolving Russian swing catapulting its 10 strong troupe high into the apex of the chapito at breakneck speed and you will see an amazing awe inspiring show,  created especially for its first ever European tour.

The University of Ulster has celebrated the success of its flexible access programmes for young people and adults at an award ceremony on the Jordanstown campus.

More than 200 students were presented with certificates at the ‘Celebration of Community Achievement’ evening, which recognised each person’s commitment, determination and creativity within their module or project.

In conjunction with community partners, Ulster has developed a wide-ranging portfolio of flexible learning opportunities for adults, young people and those in the workplace.

Learning programmes such as Active Citizenship, Internet and Multimedia, Integration and Good Relations through Sport, Community Development and Social Networking were among the achievements noted at the awards ceremony.

The University supported these programmes as part of its Widening Access and Participation Strategy.

Finance Minister Simon Hamilton MLA praised the programmes and said:

“This project has an extremely positive impact on the local communities in Northern Ireland. I congratulate all those who received an award this evening – their achievements will not only reap personal benefits, but make a significant and outstanding contribution to the communities in which they live.

“This evening has been an opportunity to honour those that have and are continuing to make a difference in Northern Ireland.”

Students were welcomed into the higher education community and encouraged to continue their lifelong learning journey by Ulster’s Vice-Chancellor Professor Richard Barnett.

He said: “One of the University’s corporate goals is to provide excellent, student-centred, flexible programmes of study which are accessible to all those who have the ability to benefit from them.

“Widening participation in higher education is a key priority, since it is vital in creating a fairer society, securing improvements in social mobility and supporting economic growth.”

Special guests at the celebration included representatives from community, schools and voluntary organisations such as the Sport Changes Life Foundation and the PSNI, which supports education in local communities.

If you missed his astonishing feat of levitation in Belfast’s busy Victoria Square, you can’t afford to miss David Meade when comes to Fermanagh for one night of mind boggling fun!

And in this exciting, fully interactive show, there’s a huge cash prize on offer if you can successfully lie to David!

To promote his recent TV series, Davis levitated 60 feet from the solid concrete ground floor below. 15,000 people turned out to watch him, within three hours David’s website had nearly 10,000 hits, over 2000 images had been posted to twitter, and in 24 hours one single image reached 1.1 million views on Reddit and other social media sites.

In a fantastic FLive highlight, the UK’s leading mentalist brings his most exciting show yet to FLive.

The show marks the BBC’s fastest rising star’s return to the stage, hot on the heels of his smash-hit TV series Make Believe, after three years of unprecedented success on national TV and a cross-country US tour that saw him pack houses in Boston, New York, LA and Las Vegas.

You’ll be wowed and amused in equal measure with a show that is as hilarious as it is jaw dropping. In David’s astonishing live show, he’ll reveal private PIN numbers, detect lies, reveal secret thoughts, and influence those around him with seemingly inexplicable results.

Do you think you have what it takes to outsmart a mentalist? For those who think they can lie, a substantial cash prize will be awarded on the spot to anyone who can successfully lie to David.
