“Often there’s no more serious business than contemporary dance,  but Piasni’s keen eye and skilled hand have created a dance that is light and witty in its delivery, but razor-sharp in its significance“

Michael Seaver,The Irish TImes

“irresistible” David Bernadas, Mouvement “tremendously funny” Muriel Steinmetz, L’Humanité 

“what comes across is tenderness, detail [and] a great deal of humour” Marie-Christine Vernay, Libération

In this playground for six dancers, Slow Down explores the insignificant troubles, the practical jokes, the awkwardness, and the barricades that make human relationships come alive. Other worlds come to mind: Charlie Chaplin’s or Jaques Tati’s; Six characters reveal secrets and obstacles …their hesitation, lost orientation, inarticulate declarations, and movement sequences, find irony in the everyday demands

of discipline, creativity, concentration and ardour.  .

Don’t miss it! Deliciously fun.

Dream A While
A Recital by Jenny Hofton at St Mary’s
on Wednesday 28th November at 1.00 pm
Accompanied by Mark Richey

We welcome Jenny, from Shoreham, who will be accompanied by Mark Richey on the piano. Songs from Die Fledermaus (Strauss), Magnificat (Bach) and by Grieg, Bellini, Bridge and Poulenc feature in Jenny’s concert.

Jenny took up singing at the age of 15 and studied music and classical voice for her degree. After taking time out to study as a teacher, Jenny resumed her role as a singer and has performed in local productions.

Mark moved to Brighton in 1982 when he read music at the University of Sussex and spends his time teaching the piano, conducting, performing and composing, apart from being Organist and Choirmaster at St George’s, Brighton.

Let’s give Jenny a warm welcome for her first recital here at St Mary’s!

Free admission to the recital and there is a retiring collection.

Refreshments are available afterwards.
