“A new writing night where casting, rehearsing, and performing takes place in the course of a single evening.” Once a month, writers are given the chance to see their words brought to life by performers, who in turn get to hone their improvisation and workshopping skills in a relaxed atmosphere, and be on the pulse of new work. Sketches, monologues, duologues, spoken word, performance poetry – as long as it’s new! Stitchin’ Fiction strives to create new links between passionate creatives – pulling words off the page and into reality. Based in the heart of North London, join in or come along to watch the newest of new writing from 7:30pm! Date: Tuesday 3rd February Time: 6pm for Participants – Public Scratch Performance begins 7:30pm followed by Q&A Venue: The Boogaloo, 312 Archway Road, London, N6 5AT The Boogaloo with Stitchin’ Fiction strive to create new links between budding creatives. Our aim: to give you a platform to show your work and take creative risks. Get the words out of your notebooks and your laptops; give them life in this relaxed scratch evening.
Les Femmes Circus are an all-female circus troupe who combine circus with theatre, dance, singing and percussion to create work that is exciting, moving and breathtaking.
The company are all graduates of the National Centre for Circus Arts and use a range of circus disciplines in their work including aerial, acrobatics, hula hoop and juggling.
With an aesthetic based in the 1950s, Les Femmes Circus use comedy and manipulation to create a world where circus is the norm, playing with fear, love and fantasy, and revealing how fun it can be to misbehave.
Fierce and full of power, the company want to connect with their audiences – and to do so not only by performing tricks, but by telling a story, revealing their feelings, and allowing the audience to fully experience the performance, both visually and emotionally.

Beta Testing is a hotchpotch remix of juggling subculture and influences such as TED talks, The Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy and a fear of the haddock.
In what began life as a blog, set up after a late night conversation about circus, art and how to make the perfect pizza, Beta Testing looks at the intricacies and probability of juggling.
Sparks, Udry and Pang share theory, secrets and more than a few laughs as they take us through throwing, catching and dropping.

Join us to discover the history of three local venues: Lauderdale House, Jacksons Lane and Upstairs at the Gatehouse.
Speakers from three of Highgate’s key entertainment venues join us for a special Heritage Weekend talk! With each building facing uncertain futures at one stage or another, this talk will provide a fascinating insight into the transformations and challenges involved in converting each into the venues we know today.
We will hear from Nick Peacey, one of the driving forces behind Lauderdale House’s conversion to an Arts and Cultural Centre, alongside John Plews – long time manager of the award-winning Upstairs at the Gatehouse theatre. Finally, we will be hearing from the team at Jacksons Lane and their amazing journey from derelict church to thriving community venue!
