Natalie Reckert: Selfie with Eggs @ Jacksons Lane
Tickets
Jul 21 @ 8:00 pm – 9:30 pm

If Kraftwerk made circus it would look something like this: comedy meets electro-robotic-vogueing in an epic feat of handstand endurance!

Natalie Reckert is a German hand balancer who loves to dance to electronic beats and read Wikipedia articles about load experiments. In her highly skilled one-woman experiment, she tests the limits of the body and the stability of quite a lot of eggs. Brilliantly absurd and totally unique.

Bellway hosts Highgate Art Exhibition to showcase local talent – local residents invited to enjoy some culture, carols and canapes

On Thursday 14th December, from 6.30pm until 9.00pm, local developer, Bellway Homes is hosting an exhibition of captivating, vibrant paintings by local artist, Michèle Janes – one of the UK’s leading original abstract artists. This free exhibition will take place at Bellway Homes’ prestigious new development on Bishops Road, Highgate, where local residents are invited to attend a festive evening of culture, canapés and carol singing.

The exhibition will be opened by Councillor Stephen Mann, Mayor of Haringey, and a selection of paintings will be available to purchase at the event – 10% of the proceeds will be donated to The Mayors’ Special Fund Appeal ‘Making a Difference for Mental Health’.

The exhibition will deliver an ‘abstract Christmas’ to leafy Highgate – a selection of paintings with vibrant colour as the dominant theme – showcasing Michèle’s love of London life and “the feline world big and small”. It will
feature a range of both paper framed and canvas art work. ‘Abstract freelance’ pieces will include colour integrations with a high gloss finish (on paper framed), combining minimalist and full on colour effects. This selection of
images are destined to brighten up the most mundane of environments, by adding a true WOW factor.

‘Abstract defined’ pieces will include colour integrations with a more delicate feel – allowing greater scope for interpretation – featured on canvass. These abstract images represent the artist’s emotion at any given time (Michèle’s work is often acclaimed for her honesty of expression).

String Dimensions, founded by Bogdan Vacarescu in 2017, is a London-based chamber ensemble of international soloists.

String Dimensions is no ordinary chamber ensemble. United by a mutual interest in performing music all too rarely heard in today’s concert programmes, they have given the UK premieres of Antonio Bazzini’s works and perform neglected repertoire such as Fritz Kreisler’s String Quartet and works by Enescu and Cherubini. Their programmes also include original arrangements of well-known classical works for string duos, trios, quartets and larger groups.

The ensemble features Allegri Quartet cellist Vanessa Lucas-Smith, Canadian violist Brooke Day, Japanese violinist Akiko Ishikawa and it is led by the Romanian violinist Bogdan Vacarescu.

They all perform internationally in the most prestigious festivals and venues such as London’s Kings Place, Sydney Opera House, Cheltenham Music and Melbourne International Arts Festivals, as well as on radio and television worldwide.

 

Programme:

Grieg – String Quartet No 2 in F major (Unfinished)
Kreisler – String Quartet in A minor
Interval
Bazzini – String Quartet No 6 in F major
Liszt – Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 (quartet arrangement)
