PREVIEW: A Christmas Nutcracker

Posted on 06/10/2014 by Besi

English National Ballet’s Nutcracker returns this Christmas to London Coliseum.

FIRST PERFORMED in 2010 to celebrate English National Ballet’s 60th anniversary, Wayne Eagling’s version has since been seen by over 300,000 people.

This year, Nutcracker sees two of English National Ballet’s rising stars make their debuts as Clara; Katja Khaniukova who performs alongside Ken Saruhashi’s debut as the Prince and Daniele Silingardi’s debut as the Nutcracker; and Ksenia Ovsyanick who performs alongside Max Westwell’s debut as the Prince and Fabian Reimair’s Nutcracker.

Further Principal dancers include Alina Cojocaru as Clara, Alejandro Virelles as Prince, winner of the 2014 Emerging Dancer award Junor Souza as Prince and Nutcracker, Laurretta Summerscales as Clara, identical twins Guilherme Menezes and Vitor Menezes, both making their debuts as Prince and Nutcracker, and Artistic Director Tamara Rojo as Clara.

This is English National Ballet’s 11th production of Nutcracker since it performed its first full length Nutcracker in 1950, its founding year. Since then, English National Ballet has established the tradition of performing Nutcracker at Christmas every year.

On an enchanted Christmas Eve, under the heavy boughs of the candlelit tree Clara battles with the Mouse King and falls in love with a handsome stranger. As the air grows colder and snowflakes begin to fall, Clara and her valiant Nutcracker take a hot air balloon ride across the frost-dusted London skyline to the glistening Land of Snow where her adventure really begins.

In a world of Edwardian elegance, Nutcracker brings to life the popular Tchaikovsky score featuring the Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy and Waltz of the Flowers.

Based on concept by Toer van Schayk and Wayne Eagling, Nutcracker has choreography by Wayne Eagling and music by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, performed live by the Orchestra of English National Ballet, with design by Peter Farmer and lighting by David Richardson.

Sign petition to release 69 year old gay man from Moroccan prison

Posted on 06/10/201406/10/2014 by Besi

Family calls for retired magazine publisher to be released from prison and returned to UK.

ON SEPTEMBER 18, British holidaymaker and retired magazine publisher, Ray Cole, from Deal in Kent and his companion, Jamal Jam Wald Nass, were approached at a bus stop by police officers in Marrakech, Morroco and detained on the grounds of “suspected homosexuality”.

Police searched Jamal’s mobile phone and found a photograph of the two men together, which was used in court as ‘proof’ of homosexual acts.

Moroccan authorities failed to notify Ray’s family or the British Consulate of his arrest.

On October 2, both were sentenced to four months in prison.

His family feared he had gone missing after losing contact with him for a nearly a week when he was arrested.

Dover and Deal MP Charlie Elphicke warns travellers that Morocco is unsafe for British tourists.

The Conservative MP told Pink News: “I have been doing all I can to help free Mr Cole from these appalling charges.

“I urge people not to visit Morocco. If you go there you are at serious risk of facing trumped up charges for medieval crimes.

“The message is clear: Morocco is not safe for British tourists.”

Ray Cole’s son Adrian, said: “It’s really rough, he’s in with people who have committed shocking crimes. He is being fed boiled vegetables once a day and his dorm, which is designed to sleep 44 men, is used by 60 – leaving him sleeping on a concrete floor. The Consulate tried to visit him but were initially turned way, and told he had refused to see them. But when we spoke to him, he didn’t know anything about it. He’s had a couple of minor strokes before and has a minor heart condition. He has also been suffering with depression, which the court didn’t take into account. Why they haven’t deported him no one seems to be able to be able to explain.”

New HIV diagnoses stats show an overall decrease – but not for gay men

Posted on 06/10/201407/10/2014 by Besi

Public Health England (PHE) have released its 2013 HIV statistics, showing new HIV diagnoses amongst gay men have slightly increased, whilst new diagnoses overall are declining.

The 2013 stats show:

In the past ten years, new diagnoses amongst MSM aged 15-24 have almost doubled.
3,250 men who have sex with men (MSM) were diagnosed with HIV, slightly up from 3,230 in 2012 (and the highest number ever)
81,512 people are receiving HIV care, up from 77,590 in 2012
Overall, 6,000 people were diagnosed with HIV, compared to 6,245 in 2012
Deaths amongst people living with HIV declined to 527 from 556 in 2012
1,260 black African people were diagnosed with HIV, down from 1,619 in 2012
In the past ten years, new diagnoses amongst the over 50s have almost doubled

The latest PHE figures come after a recent campaign by a coalition of LGBT organisations which called on political leaders to improve sex and relationships education in schools. These figures highlight the urgent need to make LGBT-inclusive Sex and Relationship Education (SRE) statutory in all schools.

Yusef Azad, director of policy and campaigns at National AIDS Trust (NAT), said: “The Public Health England statistics for 2013 show a continuing high rate of new MSM HIV diagnoses in theUK – about nine gay and bisexual men are being told they have HIV every day. This reflects undiminished and significant levels of HIV transmission in our society amongst gay men.

The stastics also reveal that in 2004, 43% of gay men were diagnosed late, in 2013 that proportion is down to 31%.
while in 2012, 34% of gay men were diagnosed late, in 2013 that proportion is down to 31%.

Yusef Azad, added: “There continues to be an encouraging decline in the proportion of gay men diagnosed with HIV late – from 43% in 2004 to 31% in 2013. Being diagnosed late, which usually means you have had HIV for at least four years, can have a serious impact on your health, potentially leading to a shorter life expectancy, worse health outcomes and in some cases death soon after diagnosis.”

REVIEW: The Girl of the Golden West: ENO

Posted on 06/10/201406/10/2014 by Eric Page

The Girl of the Golden West

Giacomo Puccini

ENO

Director Richard Jones has kept this production humble, earnest and heartfelt, not veering away from the sentiment, even when it drew laughs and also quietly highlighting the dismissive treatment of the Native American’s in this grasping early depeiction of California. Jones has successfully shown us the honest human story in this adolescent melodrama without trashing its very sweet and delicate heart. So easy to mock, so difficult to produce free of irony, and deftly handled here.

This is far more complex than our love of Western movies and their syrupy clichés would have us believe, there is a real story in here, full of reflection and the complex changes of cause and effect. What seems inevitable is changed by conviction and one women facing down a rabid angry armed mob – and succeeding – is well worth watching. It’s been 50 years since the ENO last did a production of The Girl of the Golden West and this is a great revival, worth the wait and folk should sit up and take notice of this emotionally engaging, historically empathic and moving new production of Puccini’s opera.

The simple, clever and evocative sets by Miriam Buethe capture the claustrophobic feeling of living in the wilds but also the simplicity of mining life, although there were moments where the Polka bar looked like a Croydon gay bar mostly the simple effects worked and allowed the action to take centre stage. Minnie’s minimalist cabin is all stripped pine and whip-crack-away neatness but does give us the sense of small simple space for the intimate action to unfold in. The final set evocative of Edward Hopper moved silently back with the farewell scenes giving a subtle magical and early Hollywood feel to the stage. Nicky Gillibrands’ costumes were full of details and small changes that caught the formal harshness of the miner’s life. This transported us into the heart of the West; this was manufactured nostalgia at its very best.

Keri-Lynn Wilson conducted the orchestra of the ENO with flair and a close eye to the emotional pace unfolding on stage always keeping to the right side of engaging fun without tipping into pastiche. The orchestra was clear, vibrant and almost unbearably understated on occasion, full of hint and mournful reflection and utterly delightful from the refulgent opening thump of magnificence to the soft silent farewell where we all held our breath for the last note. This was Wilson’s debut in the English opera pit and what an entrance, well done her!

More info on Girl of the Golden West, CLICK HERE:

Susan Bullock’s Minnie was punchy, forceful and full of trembling need and her voice pulled the narrative along behind her like a steam engine, her sheer conviction and power over-shadowing some sillier parts of the plot and her change from needy never-been-kissed to a passionate protective she-wolf with an edge of self-preserving psychosis was tremendous and conclusive. Peter Auty as Johnson (and Ramerrez, the bandit) sang well, full of soft lyric authority and his duets wrapped themselves around Bullock’s voice perfectly. Although I wasn’t convinced of his banditry much, but then that’s Puccini for you, always wanting to slip another plot line in somewhere just in case… Craig Colclough’s Sherriff Rance was bold, butch and full of bravado only really in love with money but consumed with a real desire for Minnie. Colclough manages to bring these essential contradictions fully out in to the open, handling the change from bully to broken drunk with compassionate vocal conviction.

The all-male chorus were wondrous; clipped, clear and boisterous it’s been a long time since I’ve enjoyed such singing. They were a storm of sound, full of energy and careful choreography. When they are peeling off their angry conviction one by one to relinquish Johnson to Minnie’s protection you could feel them calming down and shamefully fading off one by one, their guns at first all focused, then dropping and falling away. They were truly gripping from their rowdy homesick edgy fun in the bar to the angry mob’s ‘Keystone cops’ chase & lynching scene.

A fantastic evening’s entertainment and a sure fire winner for the ENO and any true fan of Puccini, grasp this opportunity to see this almost perfect production.

If you fancy something that’s going to surprise you, make you smile and leave you feeling that you’ve watched and enjoyed something relevant, then book some tickets for this production now, it’s a warm, delightful old classic western.

Runs until Nov 1 on:

October 10, 15, 18, 22, 24, 27, 30 and November 1.

PREVIEW: The Sleeper and the Spindle

Posted on 06/10/2014 by Besi

Neil Gaiman and Chris Riddell reunite their bestselling partnership to create a beautiful and unique fairy tale that puts a daring queen at the very heart of the adventure.

The Sleeper and the Spindle is not only a thrilling story but a beautiful book to hold and treasure. Lavishly produced and packed with glorious Chris Riddell artwork enhanced with gold metallic paint, this spectacular edition shows that when a unique imagination and unrivalled imagery combine, a physical book is often hard to beat.

Local writer nominated as ‘Journalist of the Year’ in Stonewall Awards

Posted on 06/10/2014 by Besi

Stonewall announce the first round of nominees for the ninth annual Stonewall Awards taking place on Thursday, November 6 at the V&A London.

THE AWARDS celebrate the positive contribution of individuals and organisations to improving the lives of lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans people.

This year’s Award winners will be selected by Lib Dem Peer Baroness Barker, TV star Charlie Condou, playwright Jonathan Harvey, journalist and trans activist Paris Lees and doctor and TV presenter Dr. Ranj Singh.

The judges will choose winners in eight categories with thousands of Stonewall supporters picking the winner of the Hero of the Year Award and the Community Group of the Year Awards.

Ade Adepitan, whose work on Unreported World highlighted the plight of LGBT people in Jamaica is nominated for Journalist of the Year alongside the BBC’s Jane Hill, Liz Mackean whose Dispatches documentary Hunted shone on a light on gay-bashing in Russia. Other nominees for Journalist of the Year are Patrick McAleenan of the Daily Telegraph and local writer, Paul Thorn whose columns document lives of people with HIV with humour and humility.

Paul, who lives in Brighton, has been HIV-positive for 27 years. He nearly died in 1995, but new antiretroviral therapy saved his life. For many years he has worked as an advocacy and communication consultant for numerous international humanitarian and official bodies. He is the published author of three books and is widely credited for being responsible for the USA lifting the ban on HIV-positive people being able to enter the country. He has been GT (Gay Times) magazine’s HIV writer for over ten years. His column was dropped just a week before Paul’s nomination by Stonewall.

He said: “Of course I was very disappointed to learn that my column is being axed, but then to learn only a week later that I have been nominated for this award my disappointment turned to surprise. It has been a bit of a rollercoaster recently.”

The column itself is upbeat, always encouraging the reader to grasp the second chance at life that antiretroviral therapy can give people. It offers practical advice to surviving with HIV and getting on with life. Although the column is now homeless Paul is currently writing two new books.

Paul continued: “I nearly gave up writing completely. This nomination has inspired me to keep going and push ahead. Clearly some people value what I do. I have always been a survivor, and my writing career must be no different.”

The 2014 Hero of the Year nominees are Tom Daley, nominated for his brave coming out video released in December 2013, Vicky Beeching, who spoke movingly about her battle to reconcile her faith and sexuality, Pepe Julian Onziema whose activism as a trans man in Uganda in the face of threats of violence and abuse inspires millions around the world. Hollywood actress Ellen Page is nominated for her deeply moving coming out speech and Tim Sigsworth, Chief Executive of the Albert Kennedy Trust is nominated for his tireless work to support homeless LGBT people.

The nominees for Advert of the Year include Moss Bros, whose equal marriage campaign promoted smart suits for the first same-sex weddings, Southbank Centre whose summer Festival of Love celebrated commitment regardless of gender, Spotify who created a touching advert featuring two love struck male teenagers, Barclays and London LGBT Community Pride whose #FreedomTo campaign adorned buses, bikes and banks throughout the summer and Cornetto who produced an online short film that followed the unexpected love story of a tennis star and ball girl with a special guest cameo from Lily Allen.

Stonewall Chief Executive Ruth Hunt, said: “Every single nominee for the 2014 Stonewall Awards shows how individuals and organisations can change the world through their words and actions. In 2014, Stonewall’s 25th anniversary year, it’s important to take a moment to reflect on the remarkable things we can achieve when we work together as a community. Here in Britain and around the world we need campaigners and advocates as much today as we ever have to make the world a better place for LGBT people. The Awards are our chance to thank those who are making this change a reality.”

Free flu jab for residents aged 65 and over and care workers

Posted on 06/10/201405/10/2014 by Besi

Residents aged 65 and over as well as frontline health and social care staff are being offered a free flu vaccine to avoid catching and spreading the potentially fatal disease.

MORE than 11,000 Brighton and Hove residents aged 65 and over risk catching seasonal flu this winter if vaccination rates match those of last year. Over the flu season last year at least 13 residents were admitted into intensive care in the city’s hospitals with the highly infectious disease which compares to 904 nationally.

No-one died locally from flu although nationally there were 98 deaths.

For many the symptoms, which include fever, headache and aches and pains, can be quite mild but for some groups such as those aged 65 and over the disease can lead to hospitalisation, disability and even death.

Older residents are being urged to contact their GPs to take up the free jab because the best way to avoid catching and spreading flu is by having a vaccination before the flu season starts.

Most people that have the vaccine will not get flu and the side effects are generally mild and can include slight temperature and aching muscles for a couple of days afterwards.

Around 24,700 of the 35,800 residents aged 65 and over in the city were vaccinated last year. Increasing numbers of health and social care staff in contact with residents aged 65 and over are becoming vaccinated with the numbers rising 14% to 313 last year.

Brighton & Hove City Council director of public health Tom Scanlon, said: “Influenza can be a very serious illness and for some people such as those aged 65 and over it can lead to serious illness, hospitalisation and even death.

“The best way to avoid catching and spreading flu is by taking up the offer of a free jab before the flu season starts. This offer is for those most at risk of flu including those aged 65 and over as well as frontline health and care workers in contact with this age group.

“Flu is preventable and I would strongly advise those in target groups to contact your surgery to arrange for your free flu jab.”

Brighton and Hove GP Katie Stead, who is promoting the flu jab for the local Clinical Commissioning Group, said: “The flu jab is free for residents aged 65 and over and care workers so why not take advantage of it. The vaccination could prevent you from having a nasty illness, going into hospital and passing on a nasty illness to friends and family.

“It’s easy, only takes minutes and all GP surgeries provide it through either appointments or surgeries where you can just turn up. It’s a myth that the jab gives you flu and that the jab is not effective in preventing flu – it is effective.”

Harold Williams, aged 78, from Rottingdean, is a double leg amputee and has had two heart operations that make him particularly prone to serious problems if he caught the flu.

Harold said: “I have the flu jab every year now because I daren’t catch the flu. The worst thing that can happen to me after everything else is to get the flu. I avoid the flu like the plague.”

The groups of residents recommended to have the free flu vaccine include:

• everyone aged 65 and over

• everyone under 65 years of age who has certain medical conditions, including children and babies over six months of age

• everyone who cares for an older or disabled person household contacts of anyone who is immunocompromised

• all pregnant women, at any stage of pregnancy

• all two-, three- and four-year-old children

• all children in primary school and years 7 and 8 in pilot areas around the country

• everyone living in a residential or nursing home

• all frontline health and social care workers.
