History of Locke Park
friendsoflockepark.org.uk/history.html
A great example of a Grade II listed Victorian Park, Locke Park is in English Heritage's Register of 'Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest '.
Joseph Locke
The park is named after the renowned railway engineer Joseph Locke (1805-60). He is recognised as one of Barnsley's most prominent figures of the 19th century.
He is commemorated in the park by the bronze statue sculpted by Baron Carlo Marochetti. It was unveiled by Lord Alfred Paget on 18 January 1866.
A gift to Barnsley by Joseph Locke's widow.
The original park, then called People's Park, was opened with some pomp and ceremony on 10th June 1862. Joseph Locke's widow, Phoebe, had given High Stile Field to the town on 24 April 1861 to be a park in memory of her husband.
The layout of the early park which amounted to 17 acres of land, about 7 hectares, was organised by Joseph Locke's former partner, John Edward Errington, who gave the task to Mr Edwards of the office of Locke & Errington, in London.
The North Lodge at the entrance to Locke Park was built at this time by John Moxon, stonemason and architect of Barnsley, and the walls were built by Mr Tattersall of Silkstone.
Extending the park in Victorian times
In 1874, Phoebe Locke's sister, Sarah McCreery, donated a further 21 acres (about 8.5 hectares) of land, in memory of her sister, who had died in 1866. This doubled the area of the park, now known as Locke Park.
The Wentworth connection
Mr F W T Vernon Wentworth made a further donation of 1.5 acres (about 0.5 hectares) of land at the junction of Keresforth Hall Road and Racecommon Lane.
This made the total area of the park up to almost 40 acres (about 16 hectares).
The additions to the park, now called Locke Park, were officially opened on Tuesday 7 August 1877.
In December 1914 about 7 acres (about 3 hectares) of land east of Keresforth Hall Road and north of Beech Grove were purchased from the estate of Samuel Joshua Cooper, completing the outline of the present park.
Locke Park Tower
Sarah McCreery also instigated the building
of Locke Park Tower.
She commissioned Richard Phené Spiers, the Paris trained architect of 12 Regent Street, London to design a tower combining a memorial and 'pleasure observatory', the land and tower costing over £11,000.
Spiers was a leading architectural teacher in the later nineteenth century, being Master of Architecture at the Royal Academy Schools, and a respected scholar.
Work of excavating the tower foundations began in 1875; the contractors were Messrs Robinson and Son of Barnsley. A contemporary account describes the foundations as 9ft deep and 41 ft diameter, of solid concrete interlaced with rows of strong pit wire. The tower of approximately 70ft (21m) had a weather vane at the apex of the lantern with Sarah McCreery's monogram. The interior of the lantern was painted blue with stencil work of gold stars.
Locke Park Tower was formally opened on 20 October 1877.
The fountain opposite Locke's statue was erected at the same time as the Tower as were the walls along West View and Racecommon Lane, and the West or South Lodge.
Spiers also oversaw the laying out of the additional park land which was undertaken by the landscape gardeners William Barron and Son of Elvaston Nurseries, near Derby.
A sketch plan by Spiers, dated Feb 8th 1875, shows a layout of serpentine paths with a more formal symmetrical layout to the south-east corner incorporating the tower and flights of steps down to a terrace, providing an axial tendency to the overall design.
Locke Park has been held on trust by Barnsley Council since the I860s for the people of Barnsley.
Nature:
The 47 acres of Barnsley's Locke Park, only a mile from Barnsley's town centre, are a haven for wildlife.
Locke Park connects to open fields and areas rich in wildlife in a large expanse of green belt to the south, linking to the countryside of the Dove valley.
A surprising number of birds, small animals and insects can therefore be found in the park as a result.
Locke Park is fortunate in the number of different trees it contains: 26 different genus of tree and 67 different species, including a native midland hawthorn.
The trees that line the footpaths include beech, ash, lime, horse chestnut, sycamore and maple. There are areas of oaks, willow and of scots pine and birch.
Oak, ash and willow are particularly important for the range of insects and other invertebrates that they support.
Areas of garden are planted to attract butterflies and bees.
Look out for hedgehogs, bats and tawney owls as dusk falls. Spot nuthatches and green woodpeckers during the day.

Bolshoi Ballet Academy graduate Tala Lee-Turton on moving from UK to dance and live in Russia
Ballet dancer Tala Lee-Turton is only the third ever British female to break through the Bolshoi Ballet Academy.
In this interview with The Wonderful World of Dance, 21 yr old Tala tells us about her life as a ballet student growing up in North England and discovering and falling in love with the Russian ballet technique.
After successfully auditioning, Tala moved from the UK to Russia to train with the infamous Bolshoi Ballet Academy.
Tala shares her experience of moving countries, what is was like in the first few months at the Bolshoi, how she made friends, learnt to fluently speak Russian and what her days were like training in the notorious Russian school.
After graduating, Tala joined the Russian ballet company, Astrakhan State Opera and Ballet Theatre, and is touring the UK. Tala gives us an insight into the transition from ballet school to professional company and what she's looking forward to about coming back to England.
As a young dancer, Tala is already looking to the future and has embarked on building her choreographic experience. As well as a dancer, Tala is a model and a coach, and tries to give back to her local community in Barnsley by teaching local young students when she's at home.

Prehistoric Body Theater GHOSTS of HELL CREEK May 2018 - Acheroraptor Mating Dance Clip
Prehistoric Body Theater GHOSTS of HELL CREEK
Meany Studio Theater May 6, 2018
ACT 3: Acheroraptor - Mating Dance
Directed by Ari Rudenko
Dancers: Shrikant Adhikarla, Josh Yee, Jiaqi Kyki Li, Zakkir Abdul Rahman, Lela Besom, Pongkhi Bujorbarua, Kenneth Telesco, Jeremy Chan.
Music: Mo'ong Santoso Pribadi, Ari Rudenko
Lighting: Peter Bracilano
Set and Costume: Ari Rudenko
Prehistoric Body Theater is deep-time animal dance, celebrating the 500+ million year old evolutionary story of the vertebrates, told through the visceral biology of the human body in motion. Interdisciplinary artistic director Ari Rudenko has teamed up with Dr. Greg Wilson, the Burke Museum Curator of Vertebrate Paleontology, and an international ensemble of Seattle based dancers, to stage the evening length work GHOSTS of HELL CREEK.
66 million years ago, a massive asteroid struck the Earth with the force of a billion Hiroshima bombs, inducing an apocalyptic extinction which ended the 150+ million year reign of the dinosaurs, and marked the dawn of the age of mammals. GHOSTS OF HELL CREEK tells the story of Acheroraptor temertyorum, the last of the fierce bird-like raptor dinosaurs, who roamed the Hell Creek flood forests of prehistoric Montana before their obliteration in the terrifying impact. GHOSTS OF HELL CREEK then tells the survival story of Purgatorius unio, our earliest known primate ancestor, who rose from the ashes of the extinction, and thrived on the first fruit, as the world was born anew.

CARACAS | VENEZUELA
“Après Petipa”…this feminine quartet disturbs the solid foundations of the academy and using strategies of the New Dance movement offers moments of beautiful plasticity… Barnsley deconstructs the physicality and the aesthetics of ballets which are emblematic of Romanticism, “Swan lake” and the “Dying swan”, to create another discourse around the feminine.”
José Antonio Blasco, EL Mundo, Caracas.
“…To this fascinating and complex universe has now been added, by means of her latest creation Aprés Petipa, the desolate vision of the swan, the inextinguishable symbol of the western ballet academy, of tragedy, splendor, decadence and death. In Julie Barnsley’s hands, the classic myth turns convulsively contemporary, in an historic moment which admits no return.”

Dramatic Arts at AIM
Formerly Australian Academy of Dramatic Art (AADA)
Welcome to Dramatic Arts at AIM. A unique degree with specialised training for the actor / creator / producer.

Incorporating elements of an acting course, this degree extends the mainstream acting school approach to education with diverse, unique professional training both as an individual and an ensemble member.
Students learn the multiple skills required for an independent career in the performing arts. Based in Sydney, this theatre course provides professional training by nurturing the talent, technique & temperament of the performer, creator, actor & producer both as individuals & ensemble members. Much more than an acting school, students learn to embrace the multiple skills required for an independent career in the performing arts.
Major Studies
Performance Skills
Acting engages the senses, intellect, body and voice with a collaborative process of linear work on text and a personal connection with imagined circumstances. Improvisation unleashes instinct, focuses energy, develops spontaneity, and encourages invention. Voice offers ongoing technique for a free and flexible speaking instrument. Movement focuses on alignment, observation and adjustment, and includes combat, clowning and Asian theatre.
Performance Practice
Public and in-house performances are scheduled each trimester. The Discovery Play and Devised Work are early explorations of a full-length script and a new piece of physical theatre. The Contemporary Text is the first season of public performances, followed by the challenge of a Classic Text. Final year students develop New Short Works and take roles onstage and off in the Graduating Company Production.
Repertoire
Performance knowledge and acting skill are applied in a weekly Master Class. Explore ancient Storytelling, scenes from Australian Plays, landmarks of British and American Drama, translations from European and Asian Theatre, and Classics from across the world stage. Each student rehearses and presents scenes twice per trimester, and all second year students are assigned to direct a scene.
Contextual Studies
A lecture series offering current research tools for theatre, film, and contemporary performance. Discover how writers for stage and screen shape a story; explore the cultural diversity of storytelling; examine the roles of the writer, adaptor and translator; consider how performance research informs acting for stage and screen; and access trade secrets and networking opportunities in weekly sessions with industry guests.
Associated Studies
These practical classes support the creative actor. First year students take Lighting and Sound, Production and Stage Management, and work on a Production Crew. Second year students study Directing and Design, and develop New Works in creative teams. Acting for Camera adapts students to the demands of screen acting. Dance and Singing units complement weekly classes in Voice and Movement. All students take units in Marketing and Finance.
