Dancers get in a spin over the Olympics

Hundreds of swing dancers gathered at Spitalfields markets to perform in a bid to be part of the Olympics opening ceremony next year.

Crowds of shoppers at the tail end of the bank holiday gathered to watch as the group of 400 professional dancers, teachers, enthusiasts and beginners took part in a routine.

The performance yesterday was captured by a film crew which, after editing it, will send the footage to Olympics committee.

The group danced a rehearsed routine to a live performance of The White Cliffs of Dover by swing band The Jive Aces after learning it at classes across London and over the London Swing Festival at the weekend.

PLENTY OF PANTO MAGIC IN MARYPORT

Last updated at 20:37, Wednesday, 22 December 2010

Magic beans can be lots of fun, as the audience at West Cumbria’s only professional pantomime Jack in the Beanstalk will find out this Christmas.

MAGIC: The Wave Centre in Maryport is putting on Jack and the Beanstalk for this year’s Christmas panto. Jack, played by Lily Lowe-Myers, battles over Daisy the Cow with the evil Fleshcreep, played by Jonathan Metcalfe, flanked by the King, played by Darren Street, and local dancers Jo Robinson, Rhianna Humes and Faye Llewellin. Local dancers Rebecca Heaney and Sienna Wilson play Daisy

The show runs at The Wave Centre in Maryport from Monday to Friday.

Tickets are still available, especially for the evening shows, and producer George Critchley is promising a couple of hours of sheer magic from the cast as well as the beans.

Lily Lowe-Myers looks every inch the principal boy playing Jack, who swaps the family cow for a handful of beans and so begins the adventure that will entertain anyone of any age.

There are villains – particularly the evil Fleshcreep (Jonathan Metcalfe).

PIECE BY PIECE

JACK AND THE BEANSTALK @ LIBRARY THEATRE

Think you know the story of Jack and the Beanstalk? Well think again.

Pantomime stalwart George Critchley has adapted the fairytale and added lots of twists and turns along the way.

The plot may be close to the much-loved fairytale but a new character Fleshcreep has been added, the giant’s evil sidekick who causes mayhem – and also scared a few youngsters in the audience.

I won’t give away the ending, but all is not what it seems in the giant’s castle, adding a nice twist to the original.

Lily Lowe-Myers plays the title role of Jack, much to the confusion of some of the children in the audience who clearly haven’t been versed in panto tradition, as I heard echos of “But she is a girl”.

Once you get over that, it was clear that she was well chosen for the part with a lovely singing voice and good acting ability.

OUT OF COURT

Out Of Court is a feature film created by Manchester writer and artist Andy Pacino. It is based on a true life story concerning the breakup of a family unit and the subsequent court case involving the much aligned family legal system in England and Wales.

Casting for Out Of Court was held at the Black Lion in Salford and was filmed in Stockport's High Lane studio, then run by Bob and Brenda Thompson, two local entrepreneurs who saw the benefit fairing the extremely "touchy" subject of Family Law.
Originally cast as Ritchie Goodman was Greg Kelly, an actor who has since appeared in the continuing teen drama, Hollyoaks as an eco warrior.
Director and writer Andy Pacino stepped into the role and played Ritchie, but this meant Adam Harper, who had originally been cast as Ritchie's brother, Jamie, was "too young looking" to give the film the credibility Pacino wanted.
Cameraman Jamie Leeming was introduced to play the role instead. Lily Lowe Myers took the role as Jill Malo, the "scorned woman" and Mae Brogan won the role of Pauline, Jill's mother. view full article
