Earth Tikaia tells the story of three people in the not-so-distant future, in a world gone mad with right wing power and technological advances.
Through their actions, the humans are lured into Tikaia, an ancient land of mythical tradition, inhabited by creatures of wisdom, spirit and guidance – in order to realise the faults of humanity on Earth.

Jude is desperate for a child, Terry is lost and looking for company.
In a thought provoking, bitter sweet comedy one of them decides to make the other an offer he can’t refuse.
From the older man’s perspective the play explores fear, loneliness, hope, loss and expectation.
Inspired by the 2011 film ‘England Expects’ Rod Silvers (Terry) and James Petherick (Jude) wish to raise awareness of the rarely discussed issue of childless men.

if you can’t share no one gets any is an exhibition by Cinenova, a volunteer run feminist film and video distributor based at LUX, Waterlow Park. Cinenova has invited artist Carolyn Lazard and the worker collective Collective Text to share the space of this exhibition to present work which addresses some of the barriers to the access of film and video in its production, distribution and exhibition.
Carolyn Lazard’s video A Recipe for Disaster (2017, USA, 27 mins) uses the first programme shown with captions on US television, a cookery show, The French Chef (1972), to compose a wider study on the terms of media accessibility, and a call to produce more inclusive communities. Alongside Lazard’s video installation, Cinenova has invited Collective Text, a Glasgow-based worker collective who share skills and expertise to deliver intersectional access projects, specialising in creative Captioning and Audio Description for art and experimental film, to begin a longer-term access project with the titles within the Cinenova collection. Collective Text work in consultation with D/deaf & Hard of Hearing, Blind & Visually Impaired and Disabled artists and audiences.
Please join us for a Breakfast Opening on Wednesday 15th August at LUX, 9am–10.30am, for a special preview of the exhibition with free coffee, tea and pastries. All welcome.

New musical Confessions of a Superhero centres around a young girl named Jenny-lee and her quest to discover her true identity in a world where the extraordinary is just… ordinary. Haunted by her own untameable powers, she seeks out a group dedicated to helping Superheroes cope with the daily struggles and pressures that come with the job, in the hope that they will provide her with some much needed guidance. However, it quickly becomes clear that the heroes Jenny once looked up to aren’t as super as she once thought, a realisation made even more worrying by the resurgence of a powerful super villain. Will Jenny be able to find the path destiny has always intended? Or will this lost soul, as so many do, fly too close to the sun?

Our art tutor, Sharon Finmark, lives in North London & studied at Central St. Martins School of Art. She has had several books published on painting & drawing – one on learning to draw was published in May 2016.

A weekly candlelit class – you will need to book in with me (either via email or phone) on a weekly basis as spaces are limited. Mats provided, free parking. If you have never been to the Holly Lodge Community Centre before, let me know and I’ll email you precise directions and a photo as some people have difficulty finding it.
I teach Hatha yoga (with Yin, Scarivelli and Pilates influences) – a gentle style that still delivers strength and flexibility in a safe manner and I incorporate pranayama (breathing exercises) into all my classes. Classes are light-hearted, fun and enjoyable.
I tailor classes towards the needs of our modern society. For instance for computer users, to try and neutralise some of the negative effects of office work such as releasing hunched neck/shoulders, stretching the spine, releasing the hips and hamstrings after long periods of sitting. Hopefully, after each class, you will feel relaxed, re-energised, de-stressed, calm and a little bit stronger and stretchier! Come every week or just turn up to the occasional class.
I am well versed in the safety aspects of yoga and can provide modifications or alternatives to poses for anyone with injuries or medical conditions. I have public liability insurance and am a member of the British Wheel of Yoga.
Check out my website for testimonials by local people who come to my classes. I also teach private sessions in your own home – contact me for more information.
I also run a Tuesday lunchtime drop-in class (1.05 to 1.55pm – £7) at Highgate United Reformed Church, South Grove, London N6 6BJ. Mats provided, free parking.
Join us for our ‘Acoustic Open Mic Night’ every Thursday from 7.30pm. Anybody interested in playing, please email phil@brassbuttonrecords
