Welcoming Dawn Ray Jacobs
Malvern Cube
Date & Time: Tuesday 11th November at 11am
Tickets: FREE
Welcoming Dawn is a contemporary dance piece performed by an inclusive cast of learning disabled and non-disabled women. The piece forms part of our Accessible Workshop Programme where we welcome theatre-makers with learning differences and their carers to attend a selection of creative sharing events. Please email tiffyhosking@gmail.com if you are interested in attending this performance or taking part in any of our accessible workshops.
Welcoming Dawn is a new piece from Shropshire Inclusive Dance, where three women take on the duty of ensuring the sun rises by ‘dancing-in’ the dawn. Donning all their worldly goods they make their way to tops of mountains, deserted village greens and the sea to celebrate the rising of the sun. They bring in a new day, shedding the previous one. The company will lead a short workshop exploring these themes after the performance.
Shropshire Inclusive Dance (SiD) is a company committed to inclusive dance practice. Since 2012 we have delivered distinct, exemplary and creative-driven dance projects, weekly classes and workshops and performance which facilitate individuals’ creativity, inclusion and community cohesion.
SiD is co-directed by Rachel Liggitt and Ray Jacobs, who are experienced practitioners in producing distinctive inclusive dance performance and facilitating projects throughout the community. SiD create, facilitate, and share work with many organisations and festivals as well as commissioning exceptional choreographers to make work to be performed nationally and internationally.

Performance and Workshop
Out of the Box is a joyful hour of playful chaos.
Mix in world-class juggling, a dangerous nail-biting finale and a very silly man and you have a show the whole family will enjoy..
“absolutely spectacular” Toby age 9
“The best clown show I’ve seen!” Lucy age 11
“Granny laughed louder than the kids!” George Age 38
“I had to wipe away tears. I was laughing so much.” Hazel Age ??
Daryl J Carrington invites you to discover what childlike Joy and nonsense can be found in simple everyday objects. A piece of string creates a movie heist, a piece of chalk and a toy dog a training montage, and a toilet plunger...well you will just have to see the show.
Quing presented by Lucy Hopkins & Lexi Strauss
The Coach House Theatre
Date & Time: Tuesday 11th November at 8.30pm
Tickets: £10
You are summoned to an audience with your Quing, for an experience of collective power in action, the eternal Struggle For Control, or (possibly) Total Domination.
Brand new playground, experimental exploration of power and all round silly time from the high priestess of clowning turned absolute monarch, Lucy Hopkins, and the unquestionably delightful Lexi Strauss.
Highly interactive, deeply consensual, very fun, probably enlightening.
Lucy Hopkins lives and works on the bleeding edge of collective contemporary clowning practice. She is hugely influential, very important and really really funny.
Lexi Strauss is an Artist, Performer, Teacher and Worm. At the heart of everything she does is an unfettered desire to knit.
