Today sees the launch of The Man Up Project, a short film created by local musician turned filmmaker Ben O’Shea. Supported by both ArtHouse Jersey and Crestbridge, the film explores the reality of men’s mental health in Jersey, right in the middle of national Mental Health Awareness Week.

Carolyn Rose Ramsay, a Jersey-based dancer from Ballet Nacional de Cuba, Les Ballets de Monte Carlo, and the Norwegian National Ballet, set about enlisting five talented local dancers to create a one-off piece telling the stories of people who lived through the Occupation, armed with audio testimony that ArtHouse Jersey collected during research conducted for the Face of Liberation project last year.

ArtHouse Jersey is delighted to announce a very special commission with renowned children’s author and poet A.F. Harrold to read a selection of poetry from his bestselling ‘The Book of Not Entirely Useful Advice’.
