10:00	Workshop One Day Introduction to Automata-making with Cabaret Mechanical Theatre A hands-on, experimental workshop that introduces and explores the creative power of cams and cranks. Using pre-made wood and metal components each participant will construct a cam and crankshaft mechanism. Using this mechanism, participants will learn how to harness the kinetic potential of turning a handle and making static objects come alive. Participants can take their creations home. One Day Introduction to Automata-making 10am - 5pm / Website www.cabaret.co.uk/ 1000
12:00	Exhibition Cabaret of Mechanical Theatre Hidden away in Hold One of the Stubnitz, precious and intricate machines sleepily await visitors to press their buttons and trigger them into action. Gears and cogs power up miniature performances that are funny, strange and unexpected. These are the automata of the Cabaret of Mechanical Theatre. Here you will find ingenious engineering allied with high art, a mischievous sense of humour, and even the chance to learn something of the art of mechanical movement yourself. The collection, which includes pieces by well know artist-engineers Paul Spooner, Keith Newstead, Pierre Mayer and Matt Smith and features many of Spooner's iconic Anubis pieces, has travelled the world from Australia to Bangkok, Seoul, Tokyo and the US. The Cabaret of Mechanical Theatre has also pioneered the creative use of technology by developing education projects in schools, museums and science centres.
