Yoga is not an exercise regime yet we do exercises! It is about the mind yet we stop our thinking? It appears to be a good stretch yet it is not about flexibility! These are just a few of the contradictory impressions yoga has among the general public, including many of those who attend classes: so why the confusion?
Gary Osborn-Clarke will give a free talk on June 14, where he will explain what yoga is all about, why it helps us, and more.
A talk for everyone: whether you have attended classes or not.

Rapscallion Theatre presents… THE RED COURT
THE RED COURT tells the story of a real-life 21st century Chinese Macbeth. The play meshes Shakespeare’s tragedy with a story of scandal, corruption and murder that rocked China and gripped the world.
In 2011, China’s Premier-in-waiting was popular, charismatic and very ambitious. His rise to power seemed unstoppable. Behind him stood a ruthless wife, a British fixer and a fortune-teller who had predicted his destiny. What could possibly go wrong?
The Red Court is the winner of a national playwriting competition run by the Confucius Institute at Sheffield University. It appears at the Rondo prior to a tour to China.
The Red Court incorporates elements of Chinese theatre, and is performed in Rapscallion’s signature theatrical and energetic style.
