Beginners to improvers

[tube watercolour, acrylics, inks]

Jan 28 10.30 - 4.30

£68.00

Revisiting our most popular workshop with some add-ons….

Whilst the winter season is upon us lets admire and create snowy landscapes. If you are yearning for sunnier times,we’ll switch up the colours.

Applying the pigments in a deceptively simple way to indicate a landscape, we add the magic ingredient then step back to watch skies, landscape and trees develop. Each is unique and endlessly fascinating as time and movement helps create these fantastic loose landscapes. We choose, we control and then have to let go and let the water do the work. We can then explore layering extra detail. Materials can be minimal, decent paper and three colours [see guidance].

Although loose, we’ll check our understanding of compositional proportions as a underpinning [using our left hand brain before we ‘dance’ over to the right]. Developing our understanding of how we need to be to create abstracted, looser work.

Whether you like traditional or abstract colours, this is ideal for students wanting more confidence in wet in wet style, those who want to loosen up, those who like fast results and those who like a healthy portion of fun with their art. A delicious day of colour, water and risk!

All students will be invited to join Liana’s free Artist’s circle for ongoing support.

Victoria Wood remains one of Britain’s most cherished entertainers – a comic genius whose work reshaped the landscape of British humour. But behind the joyous persona – the singer, the satirist, the sharp-witted writer – lay a young woman navigating insecurity, anger, and self-doubt. Told in her own words and through the voices of those who knew her best, the film uncovers the formative experiences and personal battles that powered Victoria’s unmatched ability to make the nation laugh.

Saturday 31st January 11.00am to 2.00pm

This 3-hour workshop offers you an exciting opportunity to explore your creativity and imagination through warm-up games, mindfulness-based practices, and short spontaneous bursts of writing (flash fiction and non-fiction), which you will be invited to share with the group (optional).

Deep listening to each reading in turn will be followed by an embodied group response using our physicality to reflect what touched us, as well as a brief feedback discussion. This is to help each person to feel seen, supported and inspired.

The overall workshop focus is on unleashing our creativity, using play and inquiry to get into flow state and find your spontaneity, creativity, listening and collaboration.  

The type of prompts to stimulate our writing ‘bursts’ will be stories or thoughts around dreaming, reimagining, nature and community.  Some reflection on the past year, to lead us into the next, will underlie these themes.

We will have breaks for drinks and snacks but please come having had lunch.

Anyone over 18 welcome whatever your background of experience.

AI for Beginners

A Personalised Workshop for Non-Techie People

Thursday 5th February

11am to 2pm

£45.00

If you’ve heard everyone talking about AI but don’t really know where to start — this workshop is for you.

No jargon. No pressure. No previous experience needed.

Just clear, patient guidance designed for people who want to learn in a friendly, relaxed way.

Whether your interests include gardening, crafting, art, photography, music, language learning, genealogy, writing, or organising your daily life, you’ll see how AI can support your hobbies.

What You’ll Learn

•        How to use AI safely, confidently and responsibly

•        Simple ways to get answers, reminders and everyday help

•        How AI can inspire your hobbies — from planning a garden to learning a new language, drafting a knitting pattern, improving a photo, organising family history, or even helping you come up with creative ideas

•        Real examples from people just like you

•        Hands-on practice so you don’t just watch… you actually do

Why This Workshop Works

Many people worry that AI is confusing, overwhelming, or “too technical”.

But the way I teach is:

•        Patient and step-by-step

•        Beginner-friendly

•        Designed for people who don’t consider themselves ‘techie’ at all

•        Calm, encouraging, and full of practical demonstrations

You’ll never be rushed. You’ll never be made to feel behind.

By the end, you’ll understand how AI fits into everyday life — in small, helpful ways that make things easier, more organised, and more enjoyable.

Perfect For You If…

•        You’ve heard about AI but aren’t sure what it actually does

•        You want to learn at a gentle pace

•        You’d love to use AI to support your hobbies or daily routines

•        You want clear guidance, without technical language

•        You want to feel confident using a tool that’s becoming part of everyday life

Walk Away Feeling:

✔️ More confident

✔️ Less intimidated by technology

✔️ Excited about what AI can help you do

✔️ Equipped with practical skills you can use immediately

You will need to bring a smart phone, tablet or laptop - bigger screens are easier to work with.

Once signed up your tutor Gemma will email a short questionnaire to fill in prior to the workshop. This will help tailor the session to your needs!

Taster of the Dragonfly Process – Life Coaching & Emotional Freedom Technique with Liana

Part of our Wellbeing Weekend

Our resident Art & Wellbeing tutor, Liana, also has a Devon based Life Coaching /Therapy practice. Following her popular workshop last year, this is another chance to find out more about her work.

Author of ‘The Magic Touch’ and a personal development trainer for 30 years, she brings warmth, humanity and a wealth of tools and techniques to create your desired life. The Dragonfly process was developed to provide a route map for transformation, change and growth.

 Gaining clarity about what you really want and daring to dream is only the start! We need to navigate the road blocks, build resources, use successful goal setting strategies and check we are not getting in our own way. That’s where Emotional Freedom technique can come in as we identify and release emotional and physical pain that keep us stuck.

A highly effective and relatively brief therapeutic tool, this ‘tapping’ technique can shift memories, beliefs, symptoms and much more if we are ready to break free.

So whether you need support shaping your goals or to dive deeper, life coaching/therapy might be for you.

Come and have a taster of the Dragonfly Process and the power of EFT! You don’t need to reveal anything personal and may just find it’s fun:-]

11am -12noon Saturday 7th February   £10.00 You may like to bring a notebook and pen.

*We are currently taking bookings for two days of Life coaching/EFT on Saturday 17th January and Saturday 7th March

Curious about what a Gong Bath is?

Why not come along and see for yourself - No water involved!

In a Gong Bath the sounds and vibrations 'bathe' the body releasing blockages, allowing energy to flow freely. Gong Baths can help with numerous emotional and physical issues, especially tension and stress. Sound can penetrate where other therapies cannot, making you feel relaxed and rebalanced.

In a session, you lie (or sit if more comfortable), relax and let the sounds wash over you.

Bring a mat, pillow and blanket with you.

Inner Space Sounds (Julie), has been running Gong and Sound Baths in Teignmouth for nearly 5 years - she is a professionally trained member of the College of Sound Healing and is passionate about creating sessions where attendees feel nurtured, safe and at ease.

The Music of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons.,

plus a tribute to Showaddywaddy

The New Jersey Boys, based in Devon, take their audience on a nostalgic musical journey through the career of one of the biggest selling groups of all times – The Four Seasons. This choreographed show, featuring the amazing falsetto voice of Einar Vestman and the talented all round entertainer Gary Gould, is a clever mixture of tight vocal harmonies, superb solo spots and light comedy.

The packed two set programme includes all the hits such as Sherry, Big Girls Don’t Cry, Walk Like a Man and many more. This is a wonderful opportunity to see where it all began when four boys from New Jersey, USA invented their own unique sound which became a worldwide success. Early booking is recommended for this show which consistently sells out at venues across the UK.

Add a touch of Showaddywaddy as well as some musical memories of Tina Turner and Freddie Mercury and this is a show you cannot afford to miss, Book now!

Don’t be surprised if you find yourself singing and dancing!

Hay!

A highly accessible show filled with music, clowning, song and dance.

There is only one word used in our show – it’s ‘Hay!’ Like the stuffing in Geenie’s scarecrow, ‘Hay!’ like the sound she makes when he comes to life and ‘Hay!’ when he sees all the wonders of the natural world for the first time. Only one word but so many meanings in a show about growing up in the heart of the countryside and discovering that you don’t have to stay stuck in the mud – you can live your dreams, spread your wings and fly like the birds.

In this beautiful story Farmer Geenie guides scarecrow step by step as he finds his feet, then his hands, his voice, his legs and his love of song and dance in a story about the fun of growing up where every moment there’s something new to make you say ‘Hay!’ We’ve got charming puppets – birds, butterflies and bees – and some very wonderful eggs each with their own particular surprises.

This show is highly accessible and perfect for a younger age group who will be giggling all the way through this gentle introduction to what theatre can be -sweet, funny, inclusive and uplifting. For those who know the countryside, this show will be full of shared moments and for those who aren’t so familiar with our green spaces, they will want to continue the journey they will start with this show into how best to live in harmony and protect our environment.

Beginners Spanish "Spanish In Your Pocket"

Term 2 - 6 weeks.

Starts Monday 23rd February 10am to 11am.

£72.00 (£12.00 per session)

In Term 2 you will take the Spanish you learned in the first term and apply it to real travel situations. The focus shifts toward practical communication in places like restaurants, shops, hotels and pharmacies. You will learn how to order food confidently, understand menus, ask for recommendations and talk about quantities using common verbs such as querer, preferir and tomar. As the term continues you will explore everyday shopping language so you can ask about prices, sizes and colors, use comparisons and interact naturally with shop assistants.

You will also develop the skills needed to handle accommodation and travel needs. This includes booking a hotel room, requesting services and explaining simple problems without using past tenses. You will learn useful phrases such as “tengo un problema” and “¿puede ayudarme?”, which help you communicate clearly in unfamiliar situations. Later you will focus on health related language so you can describe symptoms, express pain and ask for support in pharmacies or clinics using structures like me duele and tener + noun.

The term finishes with a full review and practical roleplays that bring all your skills together. You will practice real scenarios involving restaurants, hotels, directions, shopping, airports and general information requests. You will also take part in a short oral assessment where you introduce yourself, describe places, express your needs and talk about simple travel plans using ir a + infinitive. By the end of Term 2 you will feel more confident navigating Spanish speaking environments and communicating with greater ease.

Meet your tutor:

My name is Deborah, and I come from Madrid, the vibrant capital of Spain. I was born in Santiago de Compostela, the city famous for marking both the beginning and the end of the “Camino de Santiago.”

After completing my teaching qualification, I chose to move to England in September 2006 to truly master the language and immerse myself in the culture.

I’ve always been fascinated by languages—their structure, their history, and the way they allow us to connect with others on a deeper level. Understanding a language opens the door to understanding people, and that has always inspired me.

Over the years, I’ve taught in schools, delivered Spanish classes, and offered private tutoring. I now dedicate myself to working full-time as a Spanish tutor, helping learners develop their skills and encouraging them to explore and appreciate Spanish and Latin culture

We begin with the Pretérito Perfeito Simples, a key tense used to talk about completed actions, allowing learners to say what they did, where they went, and what happened.

Students then explore useful conversational tools such as “já” (already), expressions of quantity, and practical sentence structures that make conversations sound more natural. We also introduce reflexive verbs, which are essential for talking about daily actions like waking up, getting ready, and going to bed. Using these verbs, students practice describing their daily routine in Portuguese.

The term continues with practical, real-life language for making bookings and eating out, helping students navigate restaurants and reservations with ease. Learners also study the gerúndio, used to describe actions in progress, and practice applying it in everyday situations. Term 2 concludes with a general review, bringing together all grammar and vocabulary learned so far to strengthen confidence and fluency.

You will need to purchase the 'Portuguese in 3 Months' book available here.

I am a multilingual educator currently teaching Italian at Exeter University, with a rich and varied background in teaching, administration, tourism, and customer service. I hold a Master’s degree in International Tourism Management from Leeds Beckett University and a degree in Political Sciences from the University of Naples “Orientale.”

My passion for languages and culture has shaped both my studies and my life. I studied Portuguese at university in Naples and later lived and worked in Portugal across different cities and contexts. Portugal remains close to me not only through these experiences but also because of my husband’s family, whom we visit often.

Over the years, I have volunteered in schools and community centres, preparing language clubs, assisting teachers, and teaching Italian and Portuguese. These opportunities have allowed me to share my love of languages while supporting learners of all ages.

I now live in Teignmouth with my husband, our daughter, and our dog Betty.

Beginners Italian Evening Course. Term 2

Monday 23rd February 6pm to 7pm

6 Weeks.

£60.00

In Term 2, students build on their foundations and begin using Italian more flexibly in real-world situations. They are introduced to the present conditional, learning how to make polite requests with volere. Through role-plays such as booking hotels and restaurants, students practise sounding natural and courteous while also discovering alternative accommodation options in Italy beyond traditional hotels.

The term continues with practical language for everyday use. Students learn expressions of quantity (molto, poco, abbastanza) and expand their number knowledge up to 100. They also explore prepositions with articles (nel, della, nella), allowing them to ask and answer questions about location with confidence. Cultural insights, such as the versatile use of ecco!, help students sound more authentic in conversation.

Towards the end of the term, the focus shifts to personal connections and time. Students learn possessive adjectives while talking about family and relationships, then move on to the imperfect tense for habitual past actions and the future tense to express plans and intentions. By sharing past experiences and future goals, and finishing with a comprehensive review, students complete Term 2 feeling confident, capable, and ready to keep growing in Italian.

NEW! 3 STAGE ACRYLIC PAINTING MADE EASY

Beginner to improvers

[Acrylics]

Feb 25 10.30-til 4.30

£68

Acrylics have many lovely properties, not least is the ability to overlay them and paint out mistakes! Yet their flexibility can make them seem complicated at times.

Planning our colour story and keeping it limited keeps things simple yet can have a lot of impact, You may want to bring an image and plan for it [see guidance, then only a few paints needed] or work from one of my images as a starting point.

This simplified 3 stage process starts with an abstract underpainting to establish composition and set the tone. These paintings can be exciting in their own right and you may want to stop there! For other we will continue to layer on the key areas of tone, working our way up to more distance, form, focal point and detail.

This simplified process actually summarizes many key principles and with clarity lets you concentrate on the strokes and colour mixing to produce a more successful painting. Possibly Alla Prima’ ie painted all in one sitting…that’s up to your industry!

Art History! From Impressionism to Pop Art - a history of art from c1850 - c1960.

Friday 27th February to Friday 27th March 2026, 10.30am to 12.30 pm

£70.00

A 5 week overview of the major art movements and key artists (and some lesser known names!) in Europe and America from around 1850 to around 1960.

Find out how the Impressionists got their name and how Van Goch and Gaugin reinvented art. Get an insight into the fractured surfaces of the Cubists and how the Dada group enraged audiences at their club, the Cabaret Voltaire in Zurich. Find out how dreams and the subconscious influenced the Surrealists and how modern warfare impacted on art and artists.  Dip into the 'pure painting' of the new American rebels, the Abstract Expressionists and find out how Pollock created his huge canvases.  Witness how British artists captured the vibrancy of popular post-war culture and how Warhol recreated the 'American Dream' with his silk screen prints and avant garde films.

Everyone is welcome! It doesn't matter if you don't know much about art history or if you have some knowledge already, this course is a chance to get a good overview of the period in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.  Discussion and interpretation of the art and artists featured is very much encouraged, but equally, if you are content to take it all in and learn more about what inspired the great artists of the modern era, then this course offers an informal and open approach to around 100 years of art history that changed the way we view art for ever!

•        Week 1 The Impressionists : the story of how a group of rebels changed the art world with only 8 ground-breaking exhibitions.

•        Week 2 The Post Impressionists: featuring Vincent Van Goch, Paul Gaugin and many more and how Japanese and non-European art influenced the Post Impressionists.

•        Week 3 Modernism: The Fauves, Picasso and Braque and Cubism, the German Expressionists, The Futurists, Marcel Duchamp, Dada and Surrealism - how two catastrophic world wars influenced art and artists.

•        Week 4  Abstract Expressionism in the USA: 'Pure painting' and how the centre of the art world changed to New York after World War 2- Pollock, Rothko and the women artists who pioneered abstract painting.

•        Week 5 Pop Art in Britain and America: how consumerism and popular culture influenced art and artists in the 50's and 60s - how Blake, Hamilton and Paolozzi captured the vibrancy of the postwar UK scene and how Warhol and Lichtenstein reinvented the 'American Dream' via silk-screen prints, avant garde film and the 'benday dot'!

Blues and soul become inextricably entwined in award-winning singer-songwriter, Kyla Brox, whose raw talent has seen her described as “the finest female blues singer of her generation”. Winner of the UK Blues Challenge 2018 and the European Blues Challenge 2019, voted Best Female Vocalist in the 2019 European Blues Awards and semi-finalist in the International Blues Challenge 2019 and 2020, Kyla Brox is at the very top of the UK Blues scene.

Daughter of cult blues figure, the late, Victor Brox, the Mancunian vocalist began her career as a teenager in her father’s band and has now honed her own sophisticated sound, as heard on her last two critically acclaimed and award-nominated albums, Throw Away Your Blues and Pain & Glory, which was nominated Best Album in both the European and UK Blues Awards.

Her voice; tender, urgent, gritty, blurring the distinction between pleasure and pain, mixed with the enchantingly fluent guitar work of Paul Farr, inspired bass playing of Danny Blomeley and in-the-pocket drumming of Mark Warburton, combine to make a unique and powerful, often joyous, always emotional experience.

A completely independent artist, Kyla has built her career year on year; starting out at grassroots with local pub gigs and growing to headlining concerts all over the globe, including some of the most prestigious Blues festivals in the world.

With thousands of albums sold and a constantly growing fanbase, Kyla Brox is widely regarded as one of the very best soul-blues singers the British Isles has ever produced.

An afternoon of high-energy, high-octane performance! It may be inspired by classical music but it is anything but classical in its approach!

Formula 5 are the band that brought you Bugs Beasts and Birds (2022), Wonderful World (2023), Space Odyssey (2024) and Sound of the Sea (2025). This year they’re back with Colours of Sound, a brilliant programme inspired by art and animation. Music has been likened to painting a picture on silence – a fantastic image for what music can conjure up, from a metaphorical blank canvas. Many of the arrangements are original, written by the band’s leader and amazing keyboard player, Alfie Pugh. From the classical Pictures From an Exhibition to How to Train Your Dragon, via Japanese animation Howl’s Moving Castle and an entirely original piece inspired by entirely original art, there is something for everyone.

Formula 5 are:

Alfie Pugh – keyboards

Rebecca Willson – violin and accordion

David Jones – guitars

John Donnelly – double bass and bass guitar

Gary Evans – percussion

The programme is suitable for children who are welcome to clap along, sing along or dance to the more energetic pieces. Vive la Musique, which organises the Festival, also organises free concerts in the Teignmouth state primary schools. This year some will be performed by Alfie Pugh and Rebecca Willson, others by Alex Wilson (piano) and Ruth Molins (flutes).

Ticket prices are £18. The only concessions are accompanied children under 18 for whom the charge is £6.

The Royal Ballet -

GISELLE

Synopsis:

The peasant girl Giselle has fallen in love with Albrecht. When she discovers that he is actually a nobleman promised to another, she kills herself in despair. Her spirit joins the Wilis: the vengeful ghosts of women hell-bent on killing any man who crosses their path in a dance to the death. Wracked with guilt, Albrecht visits Giselle’s grave, where he must face the Wilis – and Giselle’s ghost.

Peter Wright’s 1985 production of this quintessential Romantic ballet is a classic of The Royal Ballet repertory. Set to Adolphe Adam’s evocative score and with atmospheric designs by John Macfarlane, Giselle conjures up the earthly and otherworldly realms in a tale of love, betrayal and redemption.

Directed by Tony Award-winner Tom Morris OBE (War Horse, Dr Semmelweis, The Grinning Man) with music by PJ Harvey, this epic story of manipulation, jealousy and toxic masculinity explores the darker side of power, rage and desire. Filmed live at the Theatre Royal Haymarket in London especially for the big screen, this is ‘an electrifying star-studded Othello.’ (★★★★ Mail on Sunday)

In this stage of life we have gained so much but may find ourselves at sea if our family and working roles change. Potentially we may have more freedom to do things for us, but maybe resources, health, the world even has shifted and we need to stop and take time out to think.

A life coach/therapist and trainer for over 30 years, Liana can help you take an appreciative look at what you’ve gained, what you really want, which steps to take and how to overcome what’s getting in the way. That may be ourselves! If needed we will use Emotional Freedom Technique and others to check on negative thoughts and beliefs that hold us back.

Building a plan to create what we want is easier with effective goal setting techniques and the support of inspiring discussions and small group support. Set over two sessions in February and March the course allows you time to process, start to pursue your goals and review their success. Then we build on that!

Author of The Magic Touch, Liana demonstrates this with her usual warm, down to earth and humourous approach. Life coaching can be an expensive option but this rare small-group course will allow you to experience the transforming Dragonfly Process at lesser cost. You’ll go away with techniques to use again and again.

Students have travelled far for this course, found it invaluable….and surprisingly fun!

Are you ready to take this step and turn life around???!!

* this course is open to all but will have a bias towards 60+ issues.

Exhibition On Screen: Turner and Constable

The incredible story of Britain’s greatest landscape artists and their fierce rivalry, made in close collaboration with Tate Britain to celebrate the 250th anniversary of their births.

Two of Britain’s greatest painters, J.M.W. Turner and John Constable were also the greatest of rivals. Born within a year of each other, both used landscape painting to reflect the changing world around them. Tate Britain is bringing these two greats together for a groundbreaking exhibition, in London from November 2025 to April 2026, and Exhibition on Screen once again has exclusive and privileged access to bring their extraordinary art and remarkable stories to the big screen in February so that you can enjoy both together. Don’t miss this opportunity to see these greats side-by-side, as they so often were in life, on the big screen for the first time.

Turner’s blazing sunsets and sublime scenes from his travels and Constable’s idealised depictions of beloved places from home whipped the public of the time into a frenzy of enthusiasm. Critics compared their starkly different styles to a clash of ‘fire and water’.

Marking 250 years since their births, this unmissable new documentary explores Turner and Constable’s intertwined lives and legacies alongside the ground-breaking Tate exhibition. Discover unexpected sides to both artists with intimate views of sketchbooks and personal items and insights from leading experts.

NEW! STUNNING PAINTINGS FROM ‘BORING’ PHOTOS!

[improvers, Any medium]

March 25 10.30 til 4.30  

£68.00

Ever felt you painted a boring picture from a boring photo? Perhaps Dartmoor looked really dull and without depth, Teignmouth sea looked grey or the composition lacked oomph? Although it’s marvellous to carry around cameras on our phones for instant pics they rarely capture the beauty ,the mood and the colours that captivated us.

Well there’s an art to working from photos and with the right approach ‘boring’ ones may be a real gift.

Using Liana’s 6 step process, approach your photos with new eyes and knowledge to turn even the most unpromising into gems. We’ll analyse what to keep, lose, change, before using your preferred medium to create illusions of good depth, hero items, and enlivened colour stories. With some balancing and adjusting we’ll bring these dull scenes to life and see why it’s better to create with our artists brain than use overprocessed AI images.

If you don’t always have great photos to reach for inspiration, come and turn that into a positive and produce more unique and artistic paintings. Feel free to bring any of your photos to learn with alongside mine.

All students will be invited to join Liana’s free Artist’s circle for ongoing support.

The Royal Opera

SIEGFRIED [New Production]

Synopsis:

Raised by a scheming dwarf and unaware of his true family origins, a young man embarks on an epic journey. Soon, destiny brings him face-to-face with a shattered sword, a fearsome dragon and the cursed ring it guards, and a Valkyrie forced into enchanted slumber...

Moments of transcendent beauty and heroic triumph sparkle in the third chapter of Wagner’s Ring cycle, brought to life under Barrie Kosky’s inspired eye following his spectacular Das Rheingold (2023) and Die Walküre (2025). Andreas Schager, in his much-anticipated debut with The Royal Opera, stars as Siegfried’s titular hero, alongside Christopher Maltman’s towering Wanderer, Peter Hoare’s treacherous Mime and Elisabet Strid’s radiant Brünnhilde. Antonio Pappano conducts, drawing out the unspoken tensions and ethereal mysticism of Wagner’s dynamic score.

Running time: 330 minutes (to be confirmed)

Sarah McQuaid returns to Pavilions Teignmouth for April 2026.

One of the most instantly recognisable voices in current music … Shades of Joni Mitchell in a jam with Karen Carpenter and Lana Del Rey.” —Trust The Doc

Sarah McQuaid’s lush, chocolatey voice combines with her engaging personality, “subtle mastery onstage” (Huffington Post) and “brilliant musicianship” (fRoots) on acoustic and electric guitars, piano and (occasionally) drum to create a truly immersive experience.

Born in Spain, raised in Chicago, holding dual Irish and American citizenship and now settled in rural England, she brings the eclecticism of her background to her “captivating, unorthodox songwriting” (PopMatters) and choice of material, spanning genres and defying categorisation.

The award-winning Dyad Productions and Company Gavin Robertson are joining forces!

It’s a pedigree of the first degree! Between them, Dyad’s recent productions – AUSTEN’S WOMEN: LADY SUSAN, A CHRISTMAS CAROL, A ROOM OF ONE’S OWN, THAT KNAVE, RALEIGH – and Gavin Robertson, with DONE TO DEATH BY JOVE!, THE GHOST OF A SMILE and BOND -AN UNAUTHORISED PARODY have toured both the UK and internationally, with resounding success over the last few years. Labouring away in secret, looking for the perfect co-production has taken time, but finally the answer has arrived!

Every hospital, medical-based, Doctors-and-Nurses cliche-ridden drama onstage in a comedy mash-up spoof!

It’s Dr Ann Fleming’s first day at St David’s, where her unfortunately-named mentor Dr Death, is determined to show her who’s boss. As medical emergencies overload the hapless staff, Dr Fleming has to juggle a complicated budding love affair, with a kidney, and a nosey Hospital boss. Not literally.

Yes – ‘Holby City’, ‘Casualty’, ‘E.R’ and ‘Doctors’ - not to mention movies galore, are re-imagined and invigorated by Rebecca Vaughan, Andrew Margerison and Gavin Robertson in a pacy, cliché-ridden comic homage to the intrigues and dramas of every hospital plotline on the big and small screen!

To be taken once a day. (Or twice if there’s a matinee).

Created in collaboration with the Old Town Hall, Hemel Hempstead.

     "If you haven’t seen Dyad Productions’ work before, you simply must" (British Theatre Guide)

NEW! THE POWER OF SPACE IN PAINTING AND HOW TO HANDLE IT

Improvers, any medium

April 29 10.30 to 4.30

£68

There’s a saying ‘less is more’, when applied to painting space can help showcase the points of interest and let a painting breathe.

But how do we do it without leaving strangely boring bits?!

Using the parallels of the plate method we will consider possible space divisions, how to be empty but not dull, what’s suitable to the painting and even how our own personal preferences influence this. You can choose your own subject for painting [from yours or my reference materials] then hold ourselves back as we plan, REMOVE and shape a new style of design.

Do bring an old painting that you can see was too busy, as a starting point for discussing where to let go of content.

Handling the power of space in a painting can be revolutionary for our work, we typically overfill. This gives us a method of creating more stunning, less busy work, that stands out from the crowd. Somehow doing less creates more……how clever!

All students will be invited to join Liana’s free Artist’s circle for ongoing support.

We are pleased to announce and celebrate those 100 years with the brand new production of Neil Brand’s Evening with Laurel & Hardy 2026 Centenary Tour. Neil has established himself as the foremost exponent of silent film and improvised piano accompaniment.

20 years in stand-up for the 'Taskmaster' cheeky texts icon, multi-award-winner, YouTube cult figure, Radio 4 favourite and recently 'Baby Reindeer' actor: Watson returns after seasons at the Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and Edinburgh comedy festivals. A recent encounter with a stranger caused Mark to spend some time pondering the uncertain future facing humanity. He explores this - along with equally pressing matters like the worst word he has ever said in public, the current state of the UK sausage industry, and much more - in a typically frantic and fun-packed new show.

No country music icon has the depth, enigma and songwriting weight of Johnny Cash, and there’s nobody better suited to honour and revitalise this legacy than Australian outlaw country founding-figure and brooding baritone Henry Wagons. Known as the “Man in Black”, Cash’s music has always embraced the existential void and stared down the darkness head-on.

No period of his esteemed career did this more so than his infamous, late-career American Recordings albums recorded with creative guru Rick Rubin. Across the course of these six albums released between 1996 and 2006, Cash’s every syllable serves as both a show-down and an embrace of death itself. These American Recordings records were the instigators for Henry Wagons to pick up the guitar and serve as the embryo for an esteemed career playing his own brand of gothic country music over a quarter century.

Now, spanning space and time, these two Titans of twang, Cash and Wagons, perfectly intertwine in this new show honouring the songs, arrangements and stories behind these perfectly curated songs. In CASH: A JOURNEY THROUGH THE AMERICAN RECORDINGS, HENRY WAGONS will lean into the deep mythology and sound of The American Recordings Albums. Featuring the favourites Solitary Man (Neil Diamond), I Hung My Head (Sting), The Mercy Seat (Nick Cave), Hurt (Nine Inch Nails), One (U2) and more, Wagons and his band The Tennessee Studs will re-create the sonic depth, poise and ominous force of the original recordings, as if you were sitting with Cash and Rubin in the control room.

There’s are a fabulous blend of high-energy disco hits, humorous dialogue, and energetic dance routines all set against the backdrop of the glittering disco era, so dust off your flares and come and join us for a great party style night out.

Bursting with classic disco hits like "I Will Survive," "Fire", “You Should Be Dancing”, “Hot Stuff”, “Boogie Nights”, "Play That Funky Music," and many more, plus of course the fabulous "Disco Inferno".  The musical is a definite feel-good, fun-filled celebration of the sound and groovy style of the seventies, that you will not want to miss.

National Theatre Live: Les Liaisons Dangereuses  

by Christopher Hampton

based on the novel by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos

directed by Marianne Elliott

BAFTA Award-winner Lesley Manville (Phantom Thread) joins Aidan Turner (Rivals) in a striking new staging of Christopher Hampton’s celebrated adaptation of the classic novel, where among the glittering salons of the super-rich, one misstep can mean ruin.

Marquise de Merteuil is a master in the art of survival. Alongside the magnetic Vicomte de Valmont, they turn seduction into strategy and weaponise desire.  But when their alliance collapses into rivalry, the battle between them threatens to destroy everyone in their path.

Filmed live on stage at the National Theatre, Marianne Elliott (Angels in America) directs this thrilling game of love, lies, and social warfare.
