Volunteering begins.

I started my new volunteering position at an arts centre yesterday evening. To be honest I was really nervous but it turns out I had absolutely no reason to be. Everyone was so lovely and chatty :) I had a tour of the building (most of which I know already because I've been there so many times!) there's a theatre, gallery, dance studio's, two cinema's one 120 seat one and one of a much more intimate size, both are really comfy and presented beautifully not like the big branded places! There's also a big cafe bar area which makes for a brilliant place to socialise. The most fascinating place I got to see though was one of the projection booths!!!! Seriously amazing!! After my little tour I was told what to do and that was that ready to go!

This was the film I was ushering... Berberian Sound Studio

It was brilliant, very intense and mind boggling, as soon as the film finished, while I was waiting at the door for the viewers to leave, other members of staff came over to ask what the film was like because they'd heard so much about it but hadn't had the chance to see it, I couldn't really give them a straight answer because I myself wasn't completely sure what I had just experienced... It was a hardcore film to start my time at Chapter with and so I felt I had to share!
