Eltham Rock Choir
Ever wondered if there is a 'local ladies choir near me or nearby'? The local Eltham choir is run by vocal tutor Michael Fricker. You've probably heard of our mysterious choir flash mobs around the country for Comic Relief, our sell-out performances at venues like the O2 or our hit ITV documentary, but at Rock Choir we know it's not just about the unique huge events, it's about our choir members singing in the community. Join your local Eltham Rock Choir to become part of this 'national phenomenon' (as described in the Sunday Times) and discover a whole new world of opportunities to perform and meet people. We sing in Eltham every week during term time. You can join the choir by going to rockchoir.com or you can also book a FREE singing taster session to try it beforehand. If you feel you're not ready to join a choir yet, why not find out where you can see the choir performing next by visiting our choir gigs page at rockchoir.com. There you can come along to see what we're all about - local people bringing the local Eltham community together through something as simple as singing. Here is a quote about our choir - 'Why I love Rock Choir: I've had lupus for over 16 years. I get to forget that once a week and I feel like I've achieved something in life now, as I've had to give everything else up because of it.' - Sheryl (Rock Choir member) Rock Choir is a winner of the Red Ribbon 'Big Heart' Award [https://rockchoir.com/awards-achievements/]. and holds 1 former and 2 current Guinness World Records. The choir is also credited with single handedly starting the contemporary choir movement.Read more
The Village Where No One Suffers by Polina Polozhentseva
directed by Valery Reva Like if I went to sleep in my own bed and woke up in the same bed but in the middle of the ocean Have you ever been in love? Well, Lukyana might be. Sometimes. Rather than face up to her husband-to-be she decides to run away to the one place that would give her peace, her recently deceased Grandmothers house in war torn Ukraine. Conflicted between what is happening in her native land and her own feelings, Lukyana finds herself sleeping with her ex and listening to the next-door neighbour divulge secrets about her grandmothers extraordinary life. Coming under fire from all sides, this play features witchcraft, closure andwell, missiles. To mark the fourth anniversary of the full-scale invasion, this play comes at a timely and utterly necessary point in our global history. Polina Polozhentseva is a Ukrainian playwright who has been based in London for the past three years. Shes the mind behind wonderful works such as Dont Freak Out part of Chew, Swallow at Kyivs Wild Theatre (2021); Grandma and Grandpa Are Having Sex Theatre of Playwrights, Kyiv (2023); Save The Light and A Fan of War Barons Court Theatre, London (2022 and 2024).
