With Olives love of trapeze there is an almost unquenchable thirst in our house for the dynamic and powerful combination of physical theatre and circus. With a sense of awe and wonder trips to the theatre have become a family favourite thanks to our friends at Crying Out Loud who are committed to bringing contemporary extraordinary theatre to London from around the world . The Race Horse Company and their subversive circus performance have emerged from the Finnish underground and are coming to town in June.
In their new show presented by Crying Out Loud, the new show Petit Mal is set against an urban backdrop fusing break dancing, hip hop, trampoline work, a Chinese pole and acrobatics. Petit Mal will be at The South Bank Centre between 4 and 6 June.
For a chance to win 4 tickets worth up to £80 e mail your name and contact details to info@olivelovesalfie.co.uk.
Winners will be notified by 28 May 2010.
For a sneak preview check out their show on You Tube.
Last weekend my friend and photographer Nicola Hippisley took her daughter Orla to play in the Autumn leaves in Epping Forest. Orla was wrapped up in a Barts hat, gloves from Melton and a Spotty Otter down filled jacket that Nicky bought from our boutique.
As always Nicky took some lovely pictures and here are just 2 of them. With a studio in Red Square in Stoke Newington Nicky specialises in portrait photography of children and families. Watch out for a Christmas offer that we are going to be running with Nicky giving our customers a discount on a photographic session with her. If you want to have a look at her work check out www.nicolahippisley.com
If you are in need of winter warmers we have just had a new delivery of hats, gloves and scarves from Barts and Melton. There are some great retro inspired hand knitted styles from new born to 14 years old and a fantastic colourful range of gloves and mittens. We have started adding these new collections to our website this week and it should all be there for you to see in time for the weekend!
