Claudia meets comedian and film director Joe Cornish

Claudia meets comedian turned film director Joe Cornish. Plus actors Samuel Barnett and Jamie Parker talk about Rosencrantz and Guilderstern Are Dead.

Claudia meets three craftspeople as part of our Craft of Art Series - textile artist Ptolemy Mann, potter Chris Keenan, and Ndidi Ekubia who makes silver vases and bowls using hammers. They're all taking part in the international art fair for contemporary objects: Collect 2011, in London.

Comedian Joe Cornish talks about directing his new feature film Attack the Block, which has been described as a "story of unlikely hoodie heroes called into action during an alien invasion of England."

Original cast members of The History Boys, Samuel Barnett and Jamie Parker talk about being reunited on stage for Tom Stoppard's Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead at the Chichester Festival Theatre.

Chief Executive of Brighton Festival Andrew Comben tells us about the annual arts festival. He's joined by Joe Bone who is performing Bane 3 - a high-octane one-man film noir parody. Joe recently got into the Guinness Book of Records for performing the most characters ever in a one-man show in Bane 2, and is hoping to break the record during his Brighton Festival premiere of Bane 3 on 28th May.

Xan Brooks reviews film and Estelle Lovatt tells us about what's worth seeing in the world of art.

And with the Tate Modern currently staging the first major retrospective of Joan Miro's work to be seen in London for fifty years, we explore the legacy of the Spanish surrealist painter who is often described as being one of the most iconic of modern artists.
