Clowning about at Laban

The Do Your Own Thing drama and dance group went to visit Laban on Saturday where we will be performing at the Big Dance Picnic on Saturday 23 June. As well as rolling down the green hills we tested out our new clown characters in this exciting performance space.

The Squidz Club on Friday was fantastic and everyone had a great time, so thanks for your support. There are lots more photos on the way, but here's a quick look at some of the highlights. Loving the Mexican wrestler, can you spot who it is? It's our lovely Taking Part Assistant Ono who really got into the spirit of things!

Embrace Create Connect conference in Leicester

Mark and Esme went to the Embrace Create Connect Conference at the Richard Attenborough Centre in Leicester.  We met some great people from various companies (Carousel, Lawnmowers, Full Body and the Voice, StopGap to name a few) and gave a presentation about Heart n Soul - past, present and future - it was fun and was well received. Thanks to the Embrace crew for inviting us. Oh...here's a feedback tree (for Holly!) - think it must be Autumn - not many leaves!

We were flexing our creative muscles on Saturday at Do Your Own Thing getting ready for Squidz Club which is happening THIS Friday!! The sessions went really well and we are all in the mood for the Olympic and Paralymic theme.

The drama and dance groups have joined forces to rehearse a performance for the main space at Sqidz. They have raided the costume store at Heart n Soul and are looking pretty good!!

The music group have a band called the
Radical Racoons - here is a photo of them rehearsing.

REMEMBER - Squidz Club is this Friday, 7pm - 11pm at The Albany. See you there!

Here's the Front of House team at the last Squidz Club - can you guess what we'll be wearing at the next Olympic themed club?

Last night we had a Squidz training event for our Front of House team. The evening included a Heart n Soul quiz, role-play from Becky, Tilley and Del, and tea and biscuits of course! The front of house team, including some fab new volunteers are looking forward to welcoming you all to the club next Friday 16th March. If you are interested in volunteering at future events check out our volunteers page and get in touch with Esme.
