Happy New Year and Happy Lohri!
A very happy and prosperous new year to you and happy
Lohri for those of you who celebrate this Punjabi winter
solstice festival! We are looking forward to a busy and
exciting 2014 and are now taking bookings for all of our
shows. Here’s a short summary of the installations and
performances we’ve got on offer for 2014 …
Treasure Trail - Nutkhut’s new performance is based on
the children’s stories of the Mughal Emperor Akbar and
his favourite advisor Birbal. Join them on an epic quest to
solve nine clues and collect the nine missing gems from
the Navratan!

adventure into the future of the Mahabharata!

Captain Mumbai to the stunning Indian Princesses.
Miss Benn - our spinning sari-shop mannequin is a
beautiful installation exploring British Asian femininity and
fashion.
Bollywood Bites – this vibrant dance piece fuses
traditional Indian dance with innovative, modern
choreography. Suitable for a variety of audiences from
families to festival revellers.

We can’t wait for the Fools Paradise Showcase next
month! We’ll be presenting Swyron and Bollywood Bites
to a host of programmers and other artists.
Stilts Workshop
Following our popular and successful stilts workshop at
Aircraft Circus in 2013, we’ll be holding another stilts
workshop in Spring 2014. Suitable for both beginners and
intermediates, this is a great opportunity for performers to
add a new skill and possibly become part of the Nutkhut
stilt ensemble!

What we’ve been up to this month
Wassailing in Gloucestershire!
Tis the season to greet the trees! England’s cider
producing regions have an ancient tradition of singing to
the orchards and trees to promote a good harvest for the
year ahead. Painswick village in Gloucestershire have reignited this local tradition with a torchlit procession,
wassailing songs and plenty of cider!
Vortex - London International Mime Festival
We’re big fans of the excellent LIMF and this year Helen
headed down to the Platform Theatre to see Vortex by
Phia Bernard. A thrilling and unnerving performance Phia’s work is highly recommended!
