Dulwich Stands Up with RICHARD HERRING

Dulwich Folk Dance
Thu 17th May 8:00pm

For over 20 years Dulwich Dancers have been meeting on a Thursday evening for a friendly and lively evening of English Country Dancing. Our dancing is based on Playford style dancing – as in the Jane Austen films. We also dance more modern American Contras and the occasional Scottish dance. These are all ‘walked through’ and help is on hand for newcomers.
We welcome new dancers, the experienced and beginners, so why not join us for this special Festival evening?
Stik Street Art Walk
Sat 19th May 2:30pm - 4:00pm
Blackwater Court

Stik’s street art is all over east and north London. Now he is coming south. His simple people reflect universal themes - jealousy, anger, love, friendship etc. These transcend period, location, education and age.

Stik recognizes the human values and emotional content of many of the old master paintings in Dulwich Picture Gallery. He will be reinterpreting some of these paintings Stik style on walls and garage doors in Dulwich the week before the Festival.
