Daisy is doing her best to keep her chin up and her head down – but as the first anniversary of her mum’s death approaches she begins to realise grief isnʼt something she can put aside indefinitely, and whether she’s willing to admit it or not, things aren’t fine.
From the silly to the sublime to the scary to the ridiculous, Daisy wrestles (sometimes literally) with her grief – Ian, a 6-foot invisible bald guy with a lot of luggage – eventually discovering that by letting him into her world she is able to reconnect with the memory of her mother.
Combining physical comedy with striking aerial acrobatics and an original, constantly moving aerial set, the debut live show from She Said Jump draws on theatre clown, circus and puppetry to tackle the themes of grief and bereavement with a light and playful touch.
Suitable for ages 8+

The Genius of Gershwin
George Gershwin was a musician who bridged the worlds of jazz and classical music. Enamoured with both genres and convinced that each could bring something to the table, he mastered the art of combining jazz and classical to create his famous signature sound. In this programme The Julian Bliss Quintet presents their unique take on some of Gershwin’s most famous compositions with original arrangements and adaptations.

The Highgate International Chamber Music Festival is back for its 11th year, bringing together world-class musicians for a thoroughly varied programme of chamber music performed in the intimate, candle-lit setting of St Anne’s Church.
Join us for chamber music favourites by Beethoven and Brahms amongst others, set alongside lesser-known gems by Enescu and Richard Strauss. Rowan Atkinson CBE returns to the festival for an evening of Mozart to raise funds for Food Bank Aid, and The Julian Bliss Quintet makes it first appearance at HICMF for an afternoon of jazz focusing on the music of George Gershwin. It promises to be an exciting, thought-provoking and festive week of music topped off with mince pies and mulled wine.
We look forward to welcoming you!
