MEGALITHS FROM HERE, MEGALITHS FROM ELSEWHERE @ Salle d’exposition de l’université de Genève

For more than 6,000 years and throughout the world, many human societies have been building monumental stone architecture. Were these dolmens and menhirs intended to ward off the fear of death, to honour the dead or to impress the living? This exhibition presents the work carried out by archaeologists in different geographical areas to understand megalithism in the world.

RENEGADE SAINTS - SUNDAY DROP-IN / IMPROV WORKSHOP @ Mr Pickwick Pub

Once a month, from 11:00 am to 13:00 pm, we host drop-in sessions at the Mr Pickwick Pub.

If you’ve watched Whose Line Is It Anyway or seen the Renegade Saints perform and thought, that looks like fun, here’s your chance to join in. It’s barmy, it’s silly and you’ll love it. These sessions are good for anyone, whether you’re looking to laugh off the stress of the week, get a little more self-confidence, or work on some performing skills towards that acting career you’ve always dreamed of.

We’ll do a variety of improv exercises and play a number of games, guaranteed to make you crack a smile. Come along and improvise with us. All levels of experience are welcome! It’s a fantastic way to try improv to see if you enjoy it.

There’s no charge (though any contributions at the end are always welcome). However, places are limited so please sign up here to register.
