We’ll do our best to include locally based producers, anyone interested should get in touch with us as soon as possible.

How organisms interact with their inorganic surroundings on earth to form a synergistic self-regulating complex system that helps to maintain and perpetuate the conditions for life on the planet (involving the earth’s biosphere, atmosphere, oceans and soil). (Wikipedia)

Tom Scase’s new work is made up of disparate elements that combine to form a symbiotic whole, where the image has no words, is beyond verbal description and exists in its visual form only as a specialised component, bringing to our attention how we interact and are a part of this perilous and extraordinary nature.

His canvas is a collage of ideas, sometimes deceptively simple, others as a cacophony of intricate brush strokes from which a strange and beautiful form emerges.

Tom is an elected member (2001) of the prestigious London Group. He has won prizes for painting and photography and has exhibited widely. He lives and works in Highgate, London.

POPPEA @ Jacksons Lane
May 21 @ 7:30 pm – 10:00 pm

12th to 21st May

Jacksons Lane Theatre, Archway Rd, Highgate

Director – Simon Iorio

Musical Director – Oliver John Ruthven

With period orchestra Musica Poetica

Claudio Monteverdi’s L’Incoronazione di Poppea, the third of his three surviving operas, rightly occupies an elevated position in the history of the genre. It is a masterpiece of text setting and musical invention, at a time when opera as we know it today was very new, and certainly not performed in anything like the same way. Monteverdi was blessed to be able to set a particularly fine libretto, written Giovanni Busenello, perhaps the first great opera librettist, and Da Ponte’s literary forefather.

For HGO, performing this wonderful work is a very important milestone, particularly given that we coincide with the 450th anniversary of Monteverdi’s birth. Indeed, we will be performing it on Monteverdi’s exact birthday, Thursday 18th May. This production also marks the first time that HGO will perform an opera in its original language (other than English), together with the first time that we will perform with surtitles. This is an indication of our pledge as a training opera company to give our singers a complete experience of performing opera, as well as giving our audiences a presentation of this work with not only the authentic music, but also the authentic text.

HGO will be joined by an array of period instruments for Poppea; two harpsichords, chamber organ, two theorbos, viola da gamba, violone and violins. This promises to be a vibrant and exciting production of one of the greatest works of art of the seventeenth century, and one not to be missed.

alec dankworth’s world spirit

thursday 25 may

Alec Dankworth | bass guitar, Emily Dankworth | vocals

Julian Siegel | sax, Winston Clifford | percussion

Formed out of Alec’s love of music from the Iberian peninsula, World Spirit crosses the Straits of Gibraltar into Africa and beyond. Alec has joined forces with daughter Emily Dankworth, leading tenorist Julian Siegel and drummer Winston Clifford to explore melodies from Africa, South America and other continents from a jazz perspective. With tunes by Duke Ellington, Bela Fleck, Antonio-Carlos Jobim, Abdullah Ibrahim and WC Handy originating from Ireland, Venezuela, Bulgaria, South Africa, Mali and Brazil, World Spirit offers an evening of global song and improvisation.

Alec Dankworth has worked with artists as diverse as Stephane Grappelli, Abdullah Ibrahim and Van Morrison. After studying at Berklee College of Music, Alec became a member of various groups, notably Clark Tracey, Julian Joseph and Nigel Kennedy. During a period of residency in New York he played with the Duke Ellington Orchestra and joined the Dave Brubeck Quartet. As well as running his own bands, he is a member of Ginger Baker’s Jazz Confusion.

Emily Dankworth’s voice is forged from the DNA of Jazz royalty. She has sung in choirs all her life, and in 2011 studied jazz vocals at the Guildhall School of Music. She now sings in the acapella group Vive and has performed in the UK and Europe. She also sings with Alec’s Spanish Accents and works with her own group.

May 29 @ 2:30 pm – 3:30 pm

A concert of popular music from the beginning of the last century. Performed in style by this authentic ensemble consisting of string quartet, piano flute and oboe, praised for their lively interpretation of the genre.

The Aspidistra Drawing Room Orchestra is an orchestra that specialises in the type of light classical music that is usually referred to as “Palm Court Music” or “Salon Music”. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, there was an enormous appetite for light music. The Aspidistra Drawing Room Orchestra started, from very small beginnings: a group of friends and a folder of music. However, since the mid 1990s, they have steadily expanded their repertoire, continually hunting for new material.

Aspidistra made their Radio debut when the BBC used some tracks from the Best of Palm Court as background music for the radio play Tears of War on Remembrance Day 2002. Since then their recordings have been heard regularly on Brian Kay’s light programme and as background music for other radio plays. Their music was also used for The Producer Prince, a TV documentary based on interviews with Prince Alessandro Tasca di Cuto, the son of an illustrious Sicilian family. Sadly his father squandered the family fortunes and died penniless in 1927.

Notes From Underground @ Upstairs at the Gatehouse
May 30 @ 7:30 pm – 9:30 pm

Presented by Traffic of the Stage

dostoevsky

30th May – 11th June 2017

Tuesdays – Saturdays 7.30pm
Sundays at 4pm

Written by John Cooper
Inspired by DOSTOYEVSKY

Direction – Harry Meacher
Costume Design – Andrew McRobb
Set Design – Bryan Hands

John Cooper takes Dostoyevsky’s ‘underground man’ from the nineteenth century novella Notes From Underground and transposes him from St. Petersburg to a subterranean, contemporary London, revealing the universality of the Russian author’s writings

Cooper’s play, based on the second part of the novella, A Story of the Falling Sleet, depicts the tragedy of a man turned in on himself, a man who both craves and despises affection.

A cast of seven actors portray the wide variety of contemporary characters that inhabit the man’s underground world where sex is regarded as a negotiable commodity, where the protagonist finds himself overwhelmed by a society that exploits rather than alleviates his inner pain.
