BBC Radio 3 - Night Waves, Student Extremism, Animation, Northern Renaissance Art, the Curtain Call

Student extremism, the Northern Renaissance and the animation revival.

Presented by Philip Dodd. With a discussion on student extremism, how animation has reached the mainstream, an exhibition of Northern Renaissance art, and the curtain call.

Philip Dodd discusses student extremism with David Aaronovitch and Edward Vallance, as calls for Universities to monitor the activities of their students continue.

A new exhibition Watch me Move: The Animation Show has opened at The Barbican Art Gallery. The exhibition presents animation as a highly influential driver of visual culture over the last hundred years. Paul Wells, Director of the Animation Academy at Loughborough University, and Professor of Animation Aesthetics Suzanne Buchan discuss the journey that animation has made from the margins of cinema into the mainstream and every aspect of our daily lives on billboards, computers and television. 

There's a review by Julian Luxford, Senior Lecturer in Art History at St Andrews University, of an exhibition in Edinburgh of Northern Renaissance works from the Royal Collection: from Dürer to Holbein.

And the writer and theatre director David Gale ponders the strange charade of the modern day curtain call.

Live music and the arts: broadcasts more live music than any other radio network. Classical music is its core. Genres include world and new music, jazz, speech and drama.
