THE ARDEN THEATRE

LATE SPRING PRODUCTION

Bertold Brecht's

The Caucasian Chalk Circle

22nd to 25th May - 7.30pm

This play, well known by name if not by content, is written by Bertolt Brecht, set in Russia and based on an old Chinese legend.

A cruel town governor is murdered. His wife escapes but abandons her baby who is then cared for by Grusha, a kitchen maid. Later the governor's widow returns, demands the return of her son, and a trial is ordered which results in a contest - which 'mother' can drag the child out of the chalk circle?

Directed by Bob Lacey and Phil Mace, and with a large cast of Arden members and recruits (many of them doubling several characters), the production offers an absorbing evening's entertainment - not to be missed!

Tickets, costing £6 adults, and £5 concessionary, are available from The Sweet Scene, Preston Street, Faversham or by phone - call Printshop on 01795 531600 during office hours.

"The Jazz Police play a unique blend of those romantic and vibrant swing tunes from the thirties, forties and fifties, as well as some contemporary tunes of today. With two part harmony singing and lustrous songs from writers such as Gershwin, Berlin and Porter, they offer music which would compliment any social gathering such as dinner functions and parties, public or private. The Jazz Police offer exciting, up tempo tunes from Django to Nat King Cole with slapping double bass and smooth guitar that will get any foot tapping."

Wednesday 29th May 2013 - JIG JAW - at Faversham Folk Club, The Chimney Boy

noreply@blogger.com (Rob) — Tue, 04 Aug 2015 15:54:00 +0000

Faversham Folk Club

JIG JAW

7.30 £8/£9

JigJaw is Janet Russell, Rosie Davis, Kerry Fletcher and Frances Watt.

JigJaw combines the percussion and passion of dance traditions with vocal harmonies in a tight, scintillating quartet of singing and dancing talents!
Whenever people have got together to entertain one another there have been occasions when nobody played an instrument, or people could not afford instruments, or certain instruments were banned – the devil was often involved! People did not always sit around doing crosswords instead of dancing. They sang for the dancing, and they danced for the singing, and that’s what JigJaw does.
Drawing on European couple dances, mouth music, nonsense rhyme and songs from Britain and beyond for a highly distinctive performance.
Singing for dancing traditions can be found practically everywhere in the world, bringing happiness, fun and socialising to those lucky enough to take part. JigJaw is about rekindling the links between dancers and singers, songs and dances, performers and audiences. JigJaw aims to do this through concert performances, dances and a full range of singing and dancing workshops.
The group is dedicated to researching and arranging mouth music which fits specific social or percussive dance in performance, and also to choreographing dances to fit rhythmic vocal pieces that they like.
