It worked, and the Edinburgh International Festival visitor might find a suitable festival even at the less rapidly became one of the leading arts festivals of obvious times of the year.

  • Schools Programme
    Schools Programme WELCOME A recent study found that children who regularly attended theatre with their school had higher aspirations and better hopes about their future lives. This news sent my heart soaring as this is what this job is all about! The productions presented this year are surprising and eclectic, taking the spectator along visually interesting pathways. The works include a wide variety of theatrical genres from spoken text to puppetry, from dance theatre and musical explorations to acrobatics. Many of the productions are non-text based making them accessible to a broader audience. Central to the Festival are four exciting shows by Scotland based companies as well as a regional focus on Flanders, the Dutch-speaking northern part of Belgium, one of the world’s leaders in producing innovative theatre and dance for young audiences. We have also extended the dates of the Festival to accommodate the increased demand from schools with three international productions opening in the week prior to the main Festival week. In line with our mission, this will allow more children access to high quality theatre. I hope that the 2020 Edinburgh International Children’s Festival is full of special moments for you and your students. Exquisitely theatrical experiences that encourage children and young people to wish, desire and aspire beyond their own lives and immediate neighbourhoods, into their potential future selves. Focus on Flanders supported by: Noel Jordan Festival Director Beyond the Festival: • Creative learning project Imaginate

    Contact: Becky Biegelsen PRESS RELEASE (858) 228-3094 | [email protected] LA JOLLA PLAYHOUSE ANNOUNCES HUNDRED DAYS, THE BENGSONS’ “LUMINOUS MUSICAL MEMOIR,” AS FINAL PRODUCTION OF 2018/2019 SEASON RUN DATES SET FOR FULL SEASON SLATE La Jolla, CA – La Jolla Playhouse announces Hundred Days, book by The Bengsons and Sarah Gancher, music and lyrics by The Bengsons, directed by Anne Kauffman, and movement direction by Sonya Tayeh, as the final production of its 2018/2019 season, to run September 22 – October 21 in the Mandell Weiss Forum. Dubbed “a luminous musical memoir” and a Critic’s Pick by The New York Times, Hundred Days is an exhilarating and heartrending autobiographical piece, written and performed by husband-and-wife team Abigail and Shaun Bengson, about embracing uncertainty, taking a leap, and loving as if you only had a hundred days to live. With their magnetic chemistry and unique musical style, the Bengsons explore the fundamental question of how to make the most of the time you have. “This deeply honest and life-affirming show is a terrific addition to the 2018/2109 season,” said Playhouse Artistic Director and 2017 Tony Award winner Christopher Ashley. “I’m always looking for vibrant and distinct new voices – as well as unique ways of storytelling – and the Bengsons speak to both these aims, culminating in a singular piece of theatre that defies genres. I can’t wait to share with our audiences.” Hundred Days joins the previously-announced 2018/2019 season productions of The Squirrels (June 5 – July 1), queens (July 3 – 29), Seize the King (August 21 – September 16), The Year to Come (December 4 – 30) and Diana (February 19 – March 31, 2019).

  • Classes Residencies Workshops
    9 September – 8 December 2017 PROFESSIONAL DANCE classes residencies workshops dancebase.co.uk WELCOME Autumn Term 2017 Welcome to our always surprising and inspiring professional programme – full of newly embodied ideas and opportunities for the dancers and makers of the nation. This term we have a true legend coming to visit and personally the first and so possibly the most influential guru of mine: The great Lindsay Kemp will be in the house in October. Lindsay was mentor to many including Kate Bush and David Bowie – the latter even came to stay at the mad and glorious basement flat in Drummond Street here in Edinburgh whilst writing his album Hunky Dory. I was scullery maid and gin pourer but also a devoted student of Lindsay’s. His shows were like something from another fabulous, glittering, over-made-up planet. A planet I’ve been visiting regularly ever since! As well as this amazing news, we will be welcoming our new DEBS (graduate dancers) who will be mentored by Al Seed, one of our great Scottish artists of physical theatre. Add to this up to two free classes a week for professionals and countless residency showings on Fridays, and it all starts to add up to a pretty awesome Autumn. As always, I’ll remind you that our Friday afternoon showings by companies in residence are open to all and free to attend. I hope to see you there, as well as |at the Lindsay Kemp-led autumn showcase and our Youth Dance showcase at the Traverse in November.
