Dir: Mike Leigh 2024 | 97 mins

Life’s a constant struggle for Pansy. Racked with physical and mental pain, her dealings with the world are channelled through anger and confrontation: she argues with her family, her dentist, her doctor, the girl at the supermarket checkout…

Curtley, her husband, has been at a loss as to how to deal with her for a long time while Moses, her son, lives in his own world, hardly says a word and spends his days aimlessly wandering the streets of the city. Only her loving sister Chantelle understands her and is able to help her.

From acclaimed filmmaker Mike Leigh and starring BAFTA award-winner Marianne Jean-Baptiste and Michele Austin.

Nominated for Outstanding British Film and Best Leading Actress at this year’s BAFTAs.

‘Marianne Jean-Baptiste is Oscar-worthy in Mike Leigh's captivating new film’ ★★★★★ BBC Culture

This class is particularly suited to beginners, those returning to yoga having had a break, those with specific injuries or conditions or even those that consider themselves to be of a certain age that might need a less challenging approach. We will cover general breathing practises, the basic and gentler postures, together with general information and possible discussion around movement and the potential difficulties we might come up against.

The aim will be to relax and enjoy.

The yoga I teach is an evolution of nearly 30 years of practice and study, with a broad experience of many styles and teachers. In recent years I have been moving away from ‘external’ evaluation of the postures and moving towards an internal sense of the postures, moving away from the more used traditional approach of systemised yoga to a more experiential and felt approach, influenced by teachers who have been inspired by the teachings of Vanda Scaravelli.

Please bring a blanket, a Yoga / Pilates mat, and wear loose comfortable clothing

In each session children take part in a series of drama games and activities that develop their confidence as well as teaching them drama skills. These include focus, communication, developing a character and voice projection.

As the weeks go on the group will each have a part with some lines to learn in a small-scale show. They will rehearse as a team and share what they have learnt during the last session, more details to follow on this after half term.

Suitable for school years 2 - 6.
