- Bracho varvara
- I was born in Moscow in 1971 and have studied art professionally since I was 11. I attended the Moscow Surikov Art Academy, where I studied the classic way of portraiture, drawing, landscape, perspective, anatomy, art history and many other subjects. I have participated in many national and international exhibitions and have taught oil painting and watercolour for 7 years. I believe that pure idea in visual arts can't exist without brilliant command of technique and combination of original ideas, which make a masterpiece.

- Cullen, Niall - PrefaceMorn
- PrefaceMorn is an integrated dance theatre company. With disabled and able-bodied performers, PrefaceMorn aims to create innovative and accessible dance theatre. There are two strands to PrefaceMorn’s work. The company acts as a platform supporting able-bodied and disabled dancers and choreographers in creating and presenting high-quality multi-disciplinary performance work. PrefaceMorn also provides accessible integrated workshops and would in the future like to develop training to encourage more disabled students to pursue careers in the dance world, supporting disabled artists in their development. This will also help to create links between peer-groups of disabled and able-bodied artists, so boosting the practice of integration. Accessibility in the arts is of great importance to director Niall Cullen. As dance is almost exclusively a visual medium and dance theatre still relies heavily on form and image, it is often out of reach for a visually impaired audience. PrefaceMorn have identified the need for a more accessible form of dance theatre. The integral use of audio description in the company’s work aims to provide a way into dance theatre for a visually impaired audience.
