Little Murmur | Aakash Odedra Company
From:24-05-2025
To:24-05-2025
+ More Info +

A stunning visual treat for everyone aged 7+

Little Murmur is a new dance theatre show for everyone age 7+, families and schools, that features groundbreaking projection, an extraordinary soundscape and a blizzard of paper and confetti.

Diagnosed with dyslexia at a young age, Aakash Odedra found school very challenging: he spelt his name wrongly until he was 21 and it wasn’t until he “found the missing ‘A’” that he felt he belonged. Defined by his learning difficulties, not his abilities, dance became his mode of expression.

Combining visual design and technology with dance and humour, Little Murmur explores the warped and exaggerated realities of living in a world you struggle to process. Based on Aakash’s hugely moving show Murmur 2.0, this stunning visual treat is an honest and heart felt conversation about the trials and tribulations of living with dyslexia, facing challenges and overcoming the odds. Watch bodies and words fly like flocks of birds, a murmuration, a little murmur.

There will be a FREE workshop to anyone attending this performance. This 40-minute workshop based on Little Murmur encourages children to find their individual styles of movement. Please make sure you add your ticket to secure your place.

Presented by Aakash Odedra Company, Lewis Major Projects and The Spark Arts for Children

Supported by the British Council

A Night of Edinburgh Previews | Pierre Novellie & Matt Winning
From:29-05-2025
To:29-05-2025
+ More Info +

Join us as two of our finest comedians present a night of preview shows before they head to the Edinburgh Fringe.

Some bits will be comedy genius, the kind of moment that will let you say to your grandchildren ‘I was there! I was there when it was first performed! It was brilliant and beautiful and changed me as a person!”

And some bits will be… less good. It’s a preview. We will pretend to the grandchildren that these bits didn’t happen.

Unlike most other performance disciplines, comedy is unique in how it uses live shows as the rehearsal room. The audience becomes a de facto director, and it’s a fascinating insight into the creative process to watch a show develop in front of you.

The two comics sharing their work, Pierre and Matt, are frequent contributors to BBC R4’S The News Quiz. Pierre is a frequent collaborator with Frank Skinner on their morning show for Absolute Radio, whilst Matt has previously teamed up with fellow comic Mark Watson to give climate change the comedic once-over.

Join them for a night of laughter on the 29th of May!
