Michael Twaits
returns to Oval House Theatre due to overwhelming popular
demand.
In November
2007, Oval House Theatre presented the stage debut for this
radical, uncompromising and alluring solo performer.
Confessions of a Dancewhore was a runaway success – a
solo show without pretension or self-indulgence, but one
which proved an assured, politically savvy, and raucous
evening of theatre, performance, comedy and entertainment.
In an unusual move, Oval House has invited Michael Twaits to
return to us with a late night version of his show – running
for six weeks due to popular demand. OVAL HOUSE THEATRE. 020
7582 0080.

NEWS
Changes at Oval Partnership. Tricia Anderson writes: Changes are taking place within Oval Partnership and although after March there will be no paid workers, it doesn't mean the work stops: it will just be done in a different way! There is a lively, competent community in this area and there is no reason why things do not continue: it is up to you, the community, to carry them forward, supporting the newly elected Oval Partnership Management Committee. In order to keep the Farmers Market community led and focused, a small working group is being set up as an 'Oval friends of the farmers market'. The Public Realm Strategy has got off to a flying start with an interim report being presented at the Oval Partnership AGM last week and there are a lot of passionate responses/reactions to some of the issues that are being raised. You can still give your views or do a street diary highlighting things that you find. A group of residents from IMPACT and Oval Partnership will continue championing this piece of work. Two small sub-groups linked to health and environment are in place so that projects such as 'know your numbers (blood pressure checks) or street parties or encouraging local residents to 'green' their streets with window boxes can still happen. Or maybe you would like to resurrect the Oval Partnership art sub-group and make sure that another 'sculpture' of some sort is put on public display. How can you get involved? After 28th March, email contact@ovalpartnership.org.uk or visit the just-set-up web site on http://www.ovalpartnership.org.uk Do you want to know more or, even better, get involved with Oval Partnership? Join in, take part and let's continue to make things happen. It's been an extremely enjoyable two years for me and as I live in the area, although I won't be a paid worker I remain committed to the community and being involved with the on going work of Oval Partnership. Au revoir as Oval Partnership Project Development Officer - but still a 'hello, see you around' .
