Jul 15 @ 8:00 pm – 10:00 pm

This summer sees the return of Postcards Festival. For two weeks in July, Highgate will be home to a whole host of weird and wonderful acts as we present an eclectic mix of circus, cabaret and extraordinary performance.

What’s more, Postcards 2016 is breaking the mould: for the first time at a London festival, all ticket prices are up to you with the launch of our new Pay What You Decide scheme! Tickets can be reserved in advance (maximum four per booking) and after the performance you’ll have the opportunity to make a donation, either by cash on the door or card at the Box Office.

Maggie Jennings – Vivificante @ Highgate Gallery
Jul 16 @ 1:00 pm – 5:00 pm

Maggie Jennings – Vivificante. 8-21 July.

Exuberant, colourful and vibrant, Maggie Jennings’ work celebrates the energy of living things. She works with the vigour and dynamism that she perceives in the world around her to produce strong, sensuous images.

This exhibition is the narrative of her life, and shows the stories and passions which she would like to share with you.

Her fascination is with the state of being and living: beginning with recalling the enchantments of her childhood in Devon, lying in long grass or up a tree watching animals, birds and insects lead their idiosyncratic lives. She has travelled extensively, and has taken workshops in Zimbabwe and Namibia. She was awarded a scholarship in Greece, and a printmaking residency in the Canary Islands. In Tenerife, she worked under blue skies with fragrant breezes and surrounded by brilliant blooms. This set the mood for her art career. The Tenerifians taught her a favourite word – Vivificante (life-giving, inspirational), the title of this show.

She is never without a sketch book and uses her visual diaries rather than a camera to record her travels and experiences. She will be exhibiting a series of these tiny books alongside the larger works in this exhibition.

Whilst all forms of printmaking fascinate her, the main body of her work is in the form of spontaneous, gestural mono-screenprints, painted directly through the mesh, leaving no room for correction and indecision. Her book “Fine Art Screenprinting”, published in 2015, describes these and other methods.

In her recent work, Maggie focuses on her home town London, scaling down and making more intimate works: etchings of buildings and crowds of people, made precious with hand painted papers and gold dust.

Maggie trained at Bristol (BA), and at Chelsea (MA). She teaches printmaking part-time at The Royal Drawing School and Heatherleys School of Art, and lives locally near Hornsey Lane.

During the exhibition there will be talks on the artist’s work on Sunday 10 July at 11.30am and
on Sunday 17 July at 3.30pm. Maggie will be in the gallery throughout the exhibition.

Gallery open Tuesday-Friday 1-5pm, Saturday 11am-4pm, Sunday 11am-5pm (3pm on Sunday 10 July) ; closed Mondays.

Ssshhh! Circus Cabaret curated by Lucy Loves Circus @ Jacksons Lane
Jul 16 @ 8:00 pm – 9:30 pm

Curated by Lucy Loves Circus

Doffing our cap to the traditions of vaudeville and the origins of circus and cabaret, acclaimed circus blogger Lu Cyrcus curates this very special night, led by Cirque du Soleil’s lead clown Sean Kempton. New and old combine in this evening of contemporary varieté, featuring everything from pole dancing to aerial rope and trapeze, where burlesque meets juggling kettle bells, with a dash of musical saw thrown in for good measure.

A night to tease, whisper and gasp – Ssshhh!

Jul 19 @ 8:00 pm – 9:30 pm

Myths remixed: the classic story of Persephone is retold with live music, aerial acrobatics, fire, dance and mime. A high impact show full of hope and sorrow, it’s Greek mythology but not as you know it as this tale of love, choice and empowerment gets a contemporary circus twist. Chivaree Circus will take you on a journey and leave you ready to embrace an eternity in Hades.

Remedial Remedies @ Upstairs at the Gatehouse
Jul 20 @ 7:30 pm – 9:30 pm

Presented by Falling Pennies Theatre Company

website

By James Hartnell

20th – 24th July

Wednesday – Saturday 7.30pm
Sunday 4pm

Remedial Remedies looks at how the youth of today are pressured, how the stress of exams and succeeding can affect their overall performance and social life. We follow the story of Bruce, Jack, Kevin and Ben, four students who have failed their English GCSE. It’s the run up to the resit of the exam and they have been placed into a special revision session with a support teacher Mr Winterdon. Each boy deals with the week differently, we see the effects of ADHD and discover more about their relationship with Winterdon, each other and their school, seeing how each boy has a different outlook on the exams and their future life. As the pressure starts to pile on we watch as the cracks begin to appear and see a hopeless Mr Winterdon trying to pave the way to greatness.

George Egg: Anarchist Cook @ Jacksons Lane
Jul 20 @ 8:00 pm – 9:30 pm

If you like food, you’ll love this…

Internationally acclaimed comedian George Egg is also a rather fanatical self-taught cook with a somewhat anarchic approach to making meals. As obsessed with culinary matters as he is with comedic ones, and finding himself dissatisfied with the quality and cost of takeaways and room-service meals while touring the stand-up comedy clubs of the world, George embarks on a project to take matters into his own surprisingly capable hands.

A surreal and absurd mix of stand-up comedy and striking innovation – in the words of Jay Rayner – “You’ll never look at a Corby trouser press in the same way again”

 

“It’s an hilarious show, with surprisingly good food.” The Times

“It is refreshing to encounter a performer who really is unique.” The Telegraph

“Absolutely glorious.” The Scotsman

Natalie Reckert: Selfie with Eggs @ Jacksons Lane
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.

PART OF THE CAMDEN FRINGE FESTIVAL 2016

Presented by Dystopian Owls

This satirical comedy explores the absurdity between what management say and how they behave.

Set in a Further Education college, this team respond to government budget cuts and an appalling Ofsted inspection by self-serving self-preservation and fraud. The play tracks the new man, Nigel, from his first day. What follows is a darkly comic series of events. His enthusiasm genuinely to put students at the heart of everything will surely make a difference, won’t it?

PART OF THE CAMDEN FRINGE FESTIVAL 2016

Presented by Original Impact Theatre Company

Set over 24 hours this play explores the cogs that drive the city and the people within it.

At the Heart of Everything @ Upstairs at the Gatehouse
Aug 3 @ 9:15 pm – 10:15 pm

PART OF THE CAMDEN FRINGE FESTIVAL 2016

Presented by Dystopian Owls

This satirical comedy explores the absurdity between what management say and how they behave.

Set in a Further Education college, this team respond to government budget cuts and an appalling Ofsted inspection by self-serving self-preservation and fraud. The play tracks the new man, Nigel, from his first day. What follows is a darkly comic series of events. His enthusiasm genuinely to put students at the heart of everything will surely make a difference, won’t it?

Antigone

PART OF THE CAMDEN FRINGE FESTIVAL 2016

The war in Thebes is over at last, but the city is far from being at peace. Headstrong Antigone will not rest until her brother receives the proper burial rights, but Kreon, ruler of Thebes, has decreed that whoever touches the body of this traitor will suffer no less than death. Antigone is a vivid and atmospheric reimagining of a classic.
