'Afterbeat' - Solo Exhibition by Steve Owen
‘AFTERBEAT’
a SOLO Show by Artist and Printmaker - Steve Owen.
Woodfield Main Hall - Step Free Access
Starting points for the paintings are quite often the faded graphics in 50’s and 60’s magazines and often there is a fair amount of ‘pop’ ephemera buried in the resulting imagery. Paintings start fairly chaotic but are gradually ‘tamed’ however the temptation to reach a finished outcome too quickly is often difficult to resist. Chance marks and shapes are worked and overworked until the composition feels right.
The blank canvas is approached with some trepidation. A few painterly marks will hopefully become the start of a successful finished work, but there is little forward planning.
The limited edition prints in the exhibition are a new development sometimes combining collage, screenprinting and blockprinting techniques.
Steve Owen studied Fine Art Painting at Wimbledon School of Art before embarking on a career teaching Art in secondary schools and FE colleges.
He has exhibited in the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition and the Bankside gallery. This will be his first solo show at the Woodfield Pavilion.

The Decisive Moment - Peter Solari
Solo Show by Pete Solari
Woodfield Main Hall - Step Free Access
My artwork is inspired by the act of travelling through environments; observing, recording and reacting to the variety of life and landscape around us. The term ‘The Decisive Moment’ (Cartier-Bresson) reverberates with my own practise; that creative moment when you intuitively decide to capture an image, making that vital decision to stop and record.
For me, this is the moment that has such an emotional impact that it draws the viewer in, either through their recognition of the scene or because it is bringing something new to their consciousness. I express this through fine-art painting, etching and photography.
"Lear's Shadow" - by Colin Hurley
Lear’s Shadow
Devised and Performed By Colin Hurley
SPOILER ALERT: At the end of Shakespeare’s play Lear dies.
What I’m wondering is: what happens then? Come on, we all wonder that, sometimes, don’t we? What happens after you die? Well, that’s where this show starts.
A man in a dressing gown shuffles in, carrying a box. From the box he pulls the objects, people, quarrels, wrongs, jokes, mistakes, laughter and regrets that add up to a life. Over the next seventy minutes he retreads the path that brought him here, to This Great Stage of Fools: the loss of his daughters, the loss of his knights, the loss of his fool, the loss of his wits... oh, and the storm. Don't forget the storm. When The Rain Came.
Using only Shakespeare's words (reordered, repurposed, and often repeated) Lear's Shadow is a mischievous, engaging reflection on Shakespeare's great domestic tragedy.
Content Warning: this piece contains vivid depictions of Very Poor Parenting.
Colin Hurley has been acting for fifty years. Mostly in plays by dead people!
Works include: Royal National Theatre (Lear, Richard III) - The Globe - Including Twelfth Night in the West End and on Broadway as Sir Toby Belch. Royal Shakespeare Company - most recently as Brabantio in Othello. Film and TV work. Classical Acting lecturer at LAMDA.
Shakespeare Storytelling Workshop
Shakespeare Storytelling Workshop
COLIN HURLEY intro to workshop
Shakespeare and Storytelling workshop
Story telling. That’s words, right? How do we share those words with other people?
Most of Shakespeare’s words are in plays, to be heard, rather than read, so I’d say they were meant to fit into your ears, rather than your eyes
That’s where the performer comes in.
I’ve been teaching and leading workshops for twenty five years, at Shakespeare’s Globe (from 6yr olds to university students, and teaching teachers in Europe, China, America) and more recently at Rose Bruford and LAMDA (the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art).
This, my favourite workshop, will spend time raising our awareness of the non-verbal communication that supports the words. We will play games (or call them exercises if you want to be all serious about it) exploring circles of concentration, eye-contact, proximity and taking the time to notice the space we’re in, walk the angles, and play the space we’re in.
It’s just stuff we do instinctively in real life, but if we heighten our awareness of these aspects of non-verbal communication, we can become much more effective communicators, more skillful players, in life and in performance.
Yes, of course we start with the words, but those black squiggles on the white paper? They are not Hamlet, Macbeth, Lear. They’re the blueprint. They’re just the starting point.
The play’s the thing. So let’s play! (absolutely no experience of acting or performing is required to enjoy this workshop. The tone will be gentle and twinkly, encouraging curiosity and laughter.
Gently and playfully, let’s just notice the space we’re in, and the implications of proximity, eye-contact, discovering what a scene could be rather than deciding what it is. Balancing the ‘table work with ‘walking the angles’.
We will be on our feet a lot of the time, but nothing risky or too energetic. There will be time for discussion, but it will be specifically reflecting on our experience and discoveries while playing on our feet, rather than general theorizing. I am always aware that to stand up at all in front of others is an act of courage. Let’s see if together we can find our way to dare to play.
We start at 10am, but doors open at 9:30 so there’s a chance to grab a cuppa (not included, but the coffee is good!) and a chat.
My priorities are enabling actors to work out a space together, to spend more time on ‘receive’ rather than ‘transmit’, balancing the fixed points (the words, the verse) with the fluid (we don’t plan any staging beforehand). Over the years I’ve watched my Factory Friends make well-known scenes from well-known plays seem like improvisations. That’s the Magic and Mystery I’d like to explore.
I’ve been a professional actor since 1981, mostly theatre, lots and lots of Shakepeare, most recently with Shakespeare’s Globe, the Royal Shakespeare Company, and The Factory Theatre Company, who meet most weeks to explore our craft together, and who specialize in pop-up, stripped–back performances of Shakespeare’s plays in conventional or unconventional playing spaces.

Classical Quartet open rehersal
The Millbank Quartet - open rehersal
The Millbank Quartet, based in London, is made up of violinists Anna Mitchell and Andrew Taheny, violist Melissa Doody, and cellist Hannah Scarborough.

This will be their final rehearsal for an upcoming concert on 23rd November (details of which they will share soon) at which they’ll be playing Dvorak’s ‘American’ String Quartet No. 12, Mozart’s String Quartet No. 11, and Jessie Montgomery’s ‘Strum.’
As this is an Open Rehersal, you are welcome to enjoy the music and be able to arrive or leave within the performance. We would appreciate a donation towards the quartet and the Woodfield - Suggested Donation £5.00 - and for that you’ll get a chair to be able to stay for the whole show or as long as you’d like.

Free Film Night - The Elephant Man
Brought to you by the fabulous STREATHAM FREE FILM FESTIVAL
The Elephant Man
Main Hall - Step Free Access.
Doors (and Bar) opens at 7pm. Film starts at 7:30pm
First Come - First Seated. No Booking
David Lynch's beautiful and remarkable monochrome study of John Merrick.
John Merrick - John Hurt
Frederick Treves - Anthony Hopkins
Mrs Kendal - Anne Bancroft
Carr Gomm - John Gielgud
Mrs Mothershead - Wendy Hiller
Written by Lynch, Christopher de Vore and Eric Bergren, The Elephant Man is chiefly a tale of an affliction borne, and of the growth of the sentimental – yet nevertheless moving – friendship between Merrick and Treves. The Elephant Man continues to resonate today due to its exploration of themes like otherness, acceptance, and the societal gaze. While the film critiques Victorian society's treatment of John Merrick, it also prompts reflection on how we perceive and treat those who are different in our own time.
Takings from the bar and snack sales go to support the Woodfield Pavilion.
Season of Mellow Fruitfulness - Guided Walk with Roy Vickery

Huff & Puff
Phillippa Egerton
Phillippa trained in Mural Design at Chelsea School of Art and a Printmaking MA at Wimbledon so works in a wide variety of mediums and has won prizes for her printmaking. She spent her childhood in East Africa and retains strong memories of the colours, textiles, people and animals that has influenced her work. She has had eight solo shows including a show about Climate Change at St Mary’s Norman church, Battle last year and has participated in numerous group shows and has just exhibited with Roopa Basu “Dappled Moments” at Sprout. Her political awareness is shown in her dystopian prints featuring toys and her political Cake Heads; she has always done abstract pieces which provides the analytical layer on which other work is based, including her urban scenes.
This exhibition Huff and Puff is an opportunity to reshow her Climate Change print paintings but alongside her other work, which includes abstract work, animal paintings as well as domestic scenes. She will also be running some workshops based round block printing.
