MEETING by Antony Hamilton and Alisdair Macindoe

Last night the doors of the Battersea Arts Centre were held as the The Children's Choice Award Jury sped* across London with Tony Miller (Deputy Head) racing against the clock to see MEETING.

On arrival, at the time the show was due to start, Darren threw out the red carpet and a bell was rung and an announcement was made that the Festival Jury had arrived and would be walking down the red carpet and first in the doors to the theatre! What an entrance!!!

In all the commotion not many photos were taken, though the Jury got to meet the brains and bodies behind the work - Antony Hamilton and Alisdair Macindoe after the show, and ask them how exactly they were able to move like robots? Where and how were the invisible strings attached to their body? and would it be easier to have strings attached to the onstage pencil boxes? There was lots of giggling at the symmetry of the dancers, with the Jury unable to comprehend how the boys were moving in sync! 


*Please note - no speed limits were broken, no red lights were disobeyed. This is merely a figured of speech in this context. 

!Miss Revolutionary Idol Berserker WE HEART YOU!

CCA meets EMPATHY MUSEUM

It's been awhile since our last show so the Jury were PUMPED to check out Empathy Museum


The red carpet out, and the struts gettin' bigger, better. Including flips from James and struts from Dayna and Teddy, and the best interruption from a passerby, Maria showing the Jury up on the carpet. 


Our shoes off, someone else's shoes on - ready to soak up someone else's story. Sudnez desperate for THE SADDEST STORY. Prav jivved and danced the whole way to the river. 


The Jury did not let the weather be an unfair advantage for the awards, half the group seeing a lovely sunny day, the other seeing a very rainy summer London day. 


The Vale Deputy Head Teacher Tony was given some very attractive stilettos, a certain balance, hip sway made some people comment that he must have had lots of practice in 6 inch heels! Quick to follow Tonys lead was Louis, excitedly sporting a bedazzled pair of red heels. Nice work Louis!

The Empathy Museum finished with Esther the librarian reading to the group, and The Jury picking out donated books from the Mobile Library -A Thousand and One Books to read on the deck chairs. A really relaxing way to end the day, plus more glitter to get us home.
