Christine Watson: Journeys Through Colour
Pastels, Prints and Paintings
Christine Watson’s paintings, pastels and prints explore the essential qualities of cities, towns and villages
around the Mediterranean, places where bright daylight intensifies the richness of colours and the darkness
of shadows.
Christine’s work examines the passageways and stairways of towns and villages in Greece and the traditional
settlements of Morocco. Walls and roofs, windows and doors, streets and alleyways – the fabric of
habitation – are revealed as they are, aged by wear and weather. Her aim is to depict the relationship
between spaces and surfaces without sentiment or nostalgia.
“I employ different media to reflect on the abstract qualities of these places, their light and shade, their
textures and colours. Each piece of work represents part of my journey through a town or village, inspired
by restless curiosity to seek out what is around the corner or up the stairs – maybe the perfect image for a painting, pastel or print or even a pot of gold!”, she says.
Pastels and paintings highlight the colours characteristic of each location, using palettes that have endured
through the centuries. Pink and brown madder are the dominant colours of Marrakesh, reflecting the
surrounding mountains; yellow ochre and raw sienna are the principal hues of Fez, while Chefchaouen is
celebrated for its vibrant blues. And although Greek settlements are associated with blue-painted timber
work and whitewashed walls, closer scrutiny reveals much more richness. In Christine’s mezzotints, by
contrast, tone takes over from colour and serves to explore light and shade, textures and surfaces.
Christine Watson studied fine art at Winchester, The Slade and the British School at Rome, since when she
has exhibited widely. She is an elected member of the Pastel Society and an associate member of both the
Society of Women Artists and the Society of Graphic Fine Art.

FAST
by Kate Barton and Stephen Bennett
“How far would you go to find the perfect cure?”
Fast is the true story of ‘Dr’ Linda Hazzard — complex, charismatic and utterly driven — whose promotion, in the early 1900s, of her own radical fasting cure, gripped the press and divided a nation.
Was she vilified merely as an interfering woman in a man’s world… or were there darker forces at play?
Following huge success in Brighton, Edinburgh and London, playwright Kate Barton and award-winning screenwriter Stephen Bennett have developed the original one-act play to bring you this full-length psychological thriller.
Reviews for the Brighton, Edinburgh, and London runs:
★★★★★
“In Kate Barton, the writer of Fast, they (The Park Theatre) have once again identified an important new voice. We will surely hear more, much more, from Kate Barton”
LONDONTHEATRE1

“A powerful play that is sure to have you gripped from beginning to end”
SPY IN THE STALLS

Voila! Festival 2024 and Lara van Huyssteen present THAT BOY HAS NO SHOES.
Following a four-star run at Camden Fringe 2024, THAT BOY HAS NO SHOES, “an immersive and emotional” performance comes to Upstairs at the Gatehouse for one night only as part of Voila! Festival.
South African theatre maker, Lara van Huyssteen, reflects on the horrors of Apartheid from the perspective of a young person who was born in the democracy. With folksong and narrative storytelling, this “poignant production” highlights riots, forced removals, and protests that shaped the cultural and economic landscapes of democratic South Africa.
