GENERATION CLASS FEBRUARY

Another fun filled day with sweat, fun and laughter .. we now do a tap class as well … which all seem to be enjoying .. such a fabulous group of dancing chums x

Condolences ....


Sad news in two people i had the honour in working with have passed …In honour of hearing the passing of dear Sheila Burnette … honoured to have worked with her on Peter Pan at the Dome in Brighton where she was hysterical! Watching her make buisness was truly inspiring… in everything she ever did, I loved her at the players and numerous shows she worked in with Dougie and Jamie ..

Such a lovely lady god bless dear Sheilaxx

Paul Elliot

My sincere condolences and thoughts to his family and friends of the legend of Theatre, Paul Elliot His multi talent, Writer, Producer and Director , kind generous witty and funny with such class … I wonder how many people he gave there first break too?

Thousands for sure … He gave me my first break in choreographing Pantos at the age of 19 .. In Poole .. with such a great cast ,from his script to casting , passion and vision he was always inspiring .

Years later I had the pleasure of working with him for many years creating costumes for Alan Stewart’s Panto dames .. I admirerd his attention to detail. I always learnt a lot from him … he always liked the dame to have a white collar to frame the face and lift it for lighting …. So always tried to do just that ….

A true gentleman of the theatre. I smile with pride and honoured to have worked for you

Also Reflections of our dear sister Lynda who passed 10 years ago where has the time gone xxx

The fun loving funny crazy dramatic sister

I smile from my heart at the thoughts of you xxxx much love to Claire Emily and Spencer x
