Gandini Juggling teams up with breakout stars Chris Patfield and Jose Triguero for Gibbon, a surreal and charming feast of juggling choreography with a wicked sense of humour and a hint of the surreal. Taking inspiration from the worlds of dance and physical theatre, Gibbon perfectly combines technical skill and performance chemistry. Achieving success through failure, two world-leading jugglers cut between the creation and execution of hypnotic patterns and devastatingly slick movement sequences.
Supported by Jacksons Lane.

The fallibility of longitudinal memory and the memory of fleeting everyday experiences make up the two different parts of this exhibition. What do we keep of our lives, is this a reminder to ourselves and how much is it how we want others to remember us? The first is subject to self-selection and the second to the fallibility of others’ interpretation. Both play on the material in this first part of this exhibition.
Helen de Mouilpied was born in 1914 and died in 1987. Thirty years later the material she kept about herself is presented by the artist through his own memories. The viewer’s interpretation will confer significance to these memories. Why was this material kept and other items discarded? What has determined the selection from the material for this exhibition? How does this material trigger our own ways of remembering?
The first part of this exhibition is made up of diaries, photos, letters and other physical memories. Displayed chronologically it makes up the substance of one remembered life.
The second part of the exhibition is the culmination of a photographic project in Hackney. Fleeting interactions are committed to photographic memory. The same photograph was taken every day for a year, but not at the same time of day. The photographer (the artist) was not in Hackney every day; it took nearly eighteen months to accrue 365 photos. These are displayed in the form of a slide show: Hackney Crossing 365. The momentary memory of that instant has been captured through photographs, drawings, painting and lithographs.
The passing of time, observing everyday street scenes and surveillance have been recurrent themes in Adam Forman’s work; travel scenes in Imminent Public Spaces (2006) and the CCTV Series (2010). Being watched, watching and observing are ever present in these images, as is the act of clandestine photography on the closely observed crossing.
Much of the work in the exhibition is for sale. Open Tues-Fri 1-5, Sat 11-4, Sun 11-5; closed Mon. Exhibition continues until 11 April.

Brahms’ gorgeous, stirring Ein Deutsches Requiem is one of the great choral works, full of warm, rich harmonies. Inspired perhaps by the deaths of his mother, and his friend and fellow composer Robert Schumann, its music evokes comfort, loss, fear, peace and joy. Unlike other well known requiems, Brahms’ is not so much a mass for the dead as an offering of solace to those who mourn.
Jane Hopkins conducts Voxcetera, with soprano Ellie Sperling and baritone Jamie Sperling, using Iain Farrington’s acclaimed arrangement of the score for chamber ensemble. It promises to be both a grand and intimate experience.
There will be a bar open before and after the performance, and Voxcetera hopes you’ll stay to join us for wine and cake when the music finishes.

Voxcetera is a north London-based choir performing regularly in north and central London.

Britain’s leading mask theatre company Vamos returns to Jacksons Lane with its powerful, compassionate production about the life of a soldier after returning from combat. Ryan is in Afghanistan to see the world, learn a trade, get a life. Training is complete, combat is a buzz: he’s part of a team. But on one particular tour of duty Ryan sees things he can’t talk about – and when he returns home, the trouble really begins. Created from two years of research with former and serving soldiers, families and health professionals, A Brave Face explores post-traumatic stress in the military, an unseen and often unrecognised injury of war told through Vamos’s trademark wordless, full-mask style.

The highly anticipated UK and European Premiere of Off-Broadway smash-hit comedy musical The Marvelous Wonderettes is being produced at Upstairs at the Gatehouse, Highgate Village, from 9 April until 12 May 2019, with Press Night on 11 April 2019 at 7.30pm.
Written and created by Roger Bean, the multi-award winning show opened in New York at the Waterside Theatre in 2008 to outstanding critical acclaim.

The show follows their lives and loves from Prom Night to their 10-year Reunion.
This musical features over thirty hit songs from the 1950s and 1960s by artists such as Aretha Franklin, Neil Sedaka, Connie Francis and Dusty Springfield, including “Stupid Cupid”, “Son of a Preacher Man”, “I Only Wanna be with You”, “Secret Love”, “Lipstick on your Collar”, “Respect”, “Rescue Me”, “Dream Lover” and “Heatwave”.
Casting and Creative Team to be announced. The production is produced by Joseph Hodges Entertainment.
Tickets are now on sale from the Box Office at Upstairs at the Gatehouse on 020 8340 3488 or online at www.upstairsatthegatehouse.com. Performances run Tuesday to Saturday at 7.30pm and Sunday at 4.00pm.

The fallibility of longitudinal memory and the memory of fleeting everyday experiences make up the two different parts of this exhibition. What do we keep of our lives, is this a reminder to ourselves and how much is it how we want others to remember us? The first is subject to self-selection and the second to the fallibility of others’ interpretation. Both play on the material in this first part of this exhibition.
Helen de Mouilpied was born in 1914 and died in 1987. Thirty years later the material she kept about herself is presented by the artist through his own memories. The viewer’s interpretation will confer significance to these memories. Why was this material kept and other items discarded? What has determined the selection from the material for this exhibition? How does this material trigger our own ways of remembering?
The first part of this exhibition is made up of diaries, photos, letters and other physical memories. Displayed chronologically it makes up the substance of one remembered life.
The second part of the exhibition is the culmination of a photographic project in Hackney. Fleeting interactions are committed to photographic memory. The same photograph was taken every day for a year, but not at the same time of day. The photographer (the artist) was not in Hackney every day; it took nearly eighteen months to accrue 365 photos. These are displayed in the form of a slide show: Hackney Crossing 365. The momentary memory of that instant has been captured through photographs, drawings, painting and lithographs.
The passing of time, observing everyday street scenes and surveillance have been recurrent themes in Adam Forman’s work; travel scenes in Imminent Public Spaces (2006) and the CCTV Series (2010). Being watched, watching and observing are ever present in these images, as is the act of clandestine photography on the closely observed crossing.
Much of the work in the exhibition is for sale. Open Tues-Fri 1-5, Sat 11-4, Sun 11-5; closed Mon. Exhibition continues until 11 April.
The highly anticipated UK and European Premiere of Off-Broadway smash-hit comedy musical The Marvelous Wonderettes is being produced at Upstairs at the Gatehouse, Highgate Village, from 9 April until 12 May 2019, with Press Night on 11 April 2019 at 7.30pm.
Written and created by Roger Bean, the multi-award winning show opened in New York at the Waterside Theatre in 2008 to outstanding critical acclaim. It takes a cotton-candied musical trip down memory lane to the 1958 Springfield High School Prom, where we meet The Wonderettes: four girls with hopes and dreams as big as their crinoline skirts. The show follows their lives and loves from Prom Night to their 10-year Reunion.
This musical features over thirty hit songs from the 1950s and 1960s by artists such as Aretha Franklin, Neil Sedaka, Connie Francis and Dusty Springfield, including “Stupid Cupid”, “Son of a Preacher Man”, “I Only Wanna be with You”, “Secret Love”, “Lipstick on your Collar”, “Respect”, “Rescue Me”, “Dream Lover” and “Heatwave”.
Casting and Creative Team to be announced. The production is produced by Joseph Hodges Entertainment.
