JIGJAW: SINGING FOR DANCING WORKSHOP

http://jigjaw.co.uk/about.html

Saturday 26th. May 2012
10.45 a.m.- 4.45 p.m. Places £30
Elephant & Castle White Hill Lewes BN7 2DJ     www.lewessaturdayfolkclub.org/

JigJaw (Janet Russell, Rosie Davis, Kerry Fletcher, Frances Watt) combine the percussion & passion of dance traditions with vocal harmonies in a tight, scintillating quartet of singing & dancing talents. They use step-dancing, social dancing, mouth music, nonsense rhyme & songs from Britain & beyond for a highly distinctive performance, rekindling the links between dancers & singers, songs and dances, performers and audiences.

They say: 'We'll be singing & dancing in each part of the workshop. Everyone will be encouraged to sing & dance. There will be an option for step dancers to learn a routine. Concentrate on singing or dancing, or have a go at everything - enjoy!'

IN THE EVENING JIGJAW perform at the ELEPHANT & CASTLE

Three Heads in a Well Adult Storytelling Club in Ewell, Surrey

This is the night of the year where we encourage two of our regular floor tellers to crank up their storytelling a gear, and give us a longer retelling of their stories!

Leslie Bell knows of Ruebezahl, a mountain spirit from Silesia, who is not to be trifles with. But then neither is Leslie….
