Special Interest Days Thursday 21st June 2018 (Additional payment required) Anniversary Celebratory Lecture and Lunch at Stanford Hall ' Intoxicating Cocktail ' Mary Alexander BA (Hons  MA Between the wars, Paris was the hub of cutting edge experiments  in the visual and performing arts. The city became a magnet for international creative talent, including African-American musicians escaping the restrictions of racial segregation and Prohibition at home. The new 'jazz hot' brought together audiences from the artistic avant- garde, the music halls and the exotic cabarets of Montmartre. A vibrant modernist design style emerged from this dynamic cultural fusion. We will meet the artists, designers, musicians, dancers and impresarios and recreate how it felt to be in the middle of this exciting new cocktail of talent.
