Back in July Matthew visited the Magic of Medicine exhibition at the Thackray Medical Museum and some photos were taken of Matt and a few children. View the adorable pictures in the gallery! At the museum Matt said “It’s one of my favourite museums”, said Matthew. “I was amazed at how fascinated the children were by the element of magic in medicine and healthcare.” The exhibition runs through the end of the year and ticketing information as well as details on daily activities may be found on their website. Information about the exhibition is as follows:
The Museum’s year-long magic project explores the timeless association between bedpans and broomsticks, helping to dispel fears that the story of medicine is just gory or scary. In addition to the Magic and Medicine exhibition, the museum is hosting Harry Potter’s World, a travelling display from the National Library of Medicine in the USA. Visitors will learn how historic medical resources from the history of medicine have been woven into the magic of J.K Rowling’s much loved Harry Potter series.
Also, thanks to Danaholics Anonymous we have some news about a new program Matt is involved with called Totally Lit. It is run by his older brother Anthony and serves as a “a new kind of workshop training in Film, TV and Theatre, opening in September 2013, in Central London, for young people aged 11-18 years.” Every week there are 3-hour workshop’s and Masterclasses with top casting directors, actors and agents. DA has done some digging and found that Matt will be hosting one of these Masterclasses. A statement from an artistic director of the programme may be read below:
Matthew is the one of the first actors to sign up to our masterclass programme. Just so you are clear, as I don’t wish to mislead people, the masterclass is only for students at Totally-lit. We are recruiting in the first two weeks of September (7th and 14th). People wishing to audition will need to book in, in advance, but they can do this via the website. Anyone under 16 needs an adult (parent/carer) to book on their behalf.
To sign up and for more information about the cost of the programme, visit this page and be sure to read the FAQs! A few photos from the launch may be viewed in the gallery.
