Word of Warning
...the Sampler Series has landed and with it a full-on taste explosion.
Gin...check; Satsumas...check; Chips...not yet, you wouldn't want them to get cold! So tonight Friday 16 March at Zion Arts Centre, sees the first Sampler Series and, with it, my showday burst of adrenalin and nerves! Tonight's double-bill of award-winning Levantes Dance Theatre's Gin & Satsumas and The Mustdashios' Chips. promises a fusion of beautiful images, downright silly dance moves, a spot of UV and the odd mirrorball. Added to that, we've dispensed with the spontaneously exploding balloons and gone a bit Heston Blumenthal with the interval refreshments. Given that they involve jelly, it's all beginning to sound a bit kids' party... but don't be fooled, they come with a drink-drive warning..!
