In blood-soaked Tudor England, Katherine Parr, the sixth and last wife of King Henry VIII, is named Regent while tyrant Henry is fighting overseas. Katherine has done everything she can to push for a new future based on her radical Protestant beliefs. When an increasingly ailing and paranoid King returns, he turns his fury on the radicals, charging Katherine's childhood friend with treason and burns her at the stake. Horrified and grieving, but forced to deny it, Katherine finds herself fighting for her own survival. Conspiracy reverberates through the palace. Everyone holds their breath - for the queen to slip up, for Henry to take her head like wives before. With the hope for a future free of tyranny at risk, will Katherine submit to the inevitable for the sake of King and country?

This session is designed for those who have a basic understanding of shutter speed, aperture and ISO but who want to practice using their cameras out and about on a photo walk with guidance from our tutor.

You will practice capturing and showing movement playing with shutter speeds, controlling depth of field to show blurry backgrounds or clear backgrounds using the aperture setting and controlling image quality using your ISO settings.

The balance of settings will be practiced throughout the sessions with a look at semi-automatic settings and manual mode when necessary.

In an ensemble or as a soloist, Adrián is a versatile and adaptable musician who plays flamenco masterpieces as well as his own compositions.

Mónica was a prominent student at Locura Flamenca academy, later becoming involved in traditional and modern dance and music groups; albeit her young age, this soulful singer surprises and delights flamenco aficionados and neophytes alike.

Demi Garcia Sabat, drummer and percussionist, moved from Barcelona to London to study at the London College of Music. He specializes in flamenco, jazz, Arabic, Latin American and pop music.

"Formed from a Paisley pub session in 1968, seminal trailblazers the Tannahill Weavers now also rank as national treasures." -Glasgow Celtic Connections 2018

"The music may be pure old time Celtic, but the drive and enthusiasm are akin to straight ahead rock and roll." -Winnipeg Free Press

"An especially eloquent mixture of the old and the new." - New York Times

BIRDS OF A FEATHER FLOCK TOGETHER. New! £67 10.30-4.30 [beginners/ improvers] Any media

Hopefully we will flock together again, as birds are our muse today in all their styles. Do we envy their freedom to fly? Admire their plumage? Or marvel at their endless variations? Whatever draws us to birds, they make an excellent subject.

  Whether an accurate watercolour study or an expressive mixed media piece, we will need to consider proportions, shapes and character just as we would in a portrait. Observing and interpreting a bird depending on our style, we can capture these creatures in oh so many ways.  We’ll consider some examples, warm up, then get to creating our own homage to birds whether in a portrait, decorative or abstracted style. Do bring your favourite photos, to add to mine, for inspiration.

Louis Burgess: Definitely Ironically Unnamed Show

Award winning musical comedian and online viral sensation Louis Burgess categorically despises hyped-up, gimmicky marketing blurb. So after he achieved OVER 50 MILLION VIEWS ONLINE, he vowed to never lower himself to such tactics to sell tickets.

This is definitely why perpetual underachiever and professional procrastinator Louis Burgess, AS SEEN ON ITV, decided that, in order to “bring down the system”, his show would be officially, and totally ironically, without a name.

Expect a show that avoids all cheap gimmicks such as meta postmodernism & mentioning his ADHD to appeal to the neurodivergent buzzword culture and instead delivers classic comedy values such as rap songs, contrived hyperactivity, gratuitous profanity and sound effects.

"Yes it's a show about life, fleeting mild fame, music, mental health, frustration, inability to meet deadlines. It's about all of that and more. But mainly it's about literally nothing at all." - Louis Burgess

Yet at another level, they are simply often very paintable. They have shapes and detail that can be very attractive and indeed really add to the character of a building.

A Christmas Carol

Being a Ghost Story of Christmas

The award-winning Dyad Productions, (A Room of One’s Own, I, Elizabeth, Austen’s Women, Female Gothic) who have toured their sell-out festive show Christmas Gothic since 2015, now bring their magic to Dickens’ classic and perennially relevant ghost story.

It’s Christmas Eve, and the miserly misanthrope, Ebenezer Scrooge, is about to have a ghostly night he’ll never forget.  Dickens’ festive, immortal tale of redemption and compassion is brought to life in Dyad’s inimitable solo style.

Draw near for an evening of mistletoe and merriment in the company of Marley, Fezziwig, and Cratchit et al to discover the true meaning of Christmas: tenderness for the past, courage for the present, and hope for the future.

Ebenezer lives in us all, and this glorious tale reminds us how not to give in to the Scrooge within.

Taking inspiration from Dickens’ original performances of his own work and utilising the brilliant narrator of the novel to bring the story to life, this solo piece is performed by Andrew Margerison (Frantic Assembly’s Fatherland, Macbeth), and directed by Rebecca Vaughan.

BALLET TO BROADWAY: WHEELDON WORKS

[Mixed Programme; 1 Revival, 3 New Productions)

Sensuous contemporary ballet meets the energy of musical theatre in four distinctive short works.

Fool’s Paradise, The Two of Us, Us, An American in Paris: four works showing the remarkable choreographic range of The Royal Ballet's Artistic Associate, Christopher Wheeldon.

FOOL’S PARADISE

Luminescent and shimmering, Fool’s Paradise marked the first of Wheeldon’s many collaborations with composer Joby Talbot. It was created in 2007 for Wheeldon’s own company, Morphoses, and first performed in 2012 by The Royal Ballet.

THE TWO OF US

The wistful songs of Joni Mitchell set the scene for the UK premiere of The Two of Us, a duet of deep intimacy and yearning. It was created in 2020 for the Fall for Dance Festival in New York, and had American ballet dancers Sarah Mearns and David Hallberg in its original cast.

US (DUET)

Us is a tender duet danced by two men. It was created in 2017 for BalletBoyz and is set to Keaten Henson’s music.

AN AMERICAN IN PARIS (BALLET)

The Royal Ballet celebrates Wheeldon’s extraordinary success in musical theatre by performing the ballet scene from his Tony Award-winning musical An American in Paris. Set to Gershwin’s jazzy melodies, the musical is inspired by the 1951 film of the same name starring Gene Kelly and Leslie Caron. The musical went on to win four Tony awards. The full musical depicts a blossoming romance between the American G.I. Jerry Mulligan and a French ballerina, Lise Dassin. The ballet excerpt was

Wheeldon’s take on one of the most memorable scenes from the film – an extended sequence in which the two central characters dance through Paris.
