¡Viva!

¡Viva! Spanish and Latin American Festival of Film and Dance

Join us in a celebration of all things Spanish! From September 9th to the 12th, the theatre will be holding dance classes and showing screenings of classic Spanish films.

Join Neti Cockett in an introductory class to Flamenco dancing on Wednesday, September 9th at 7pm. Get ready to dance the night away in this special Spanish workshop for only £6 (£8 on the door). No previous experience necessary.



On Thursday 10th at 7:30pm, there will be a screening of the Spanish film, Secrets of the Heart. Set in provincial Spain in the 1960’s, the film depicts a child’s journey towards adulthood. Few films have so effectively captured the world of a child’s perceptions.

Bring along your dancing shoes on Saturday 12th for a Cuban dancing workshop. From 11am-5pm, Bill and Gaynor Jones will be teaching all the best Cuban dances- from the Cha-Cha, to the Merengue, to the classic Salsa. Again, no experience necessary, just a passion for the dance! The price for the workshop is £10 in advance, £12 on the door.




The dance inspired day will conclude with a screening of Tango at 7:30pm, a film by Carlos Saura, about one man’s quest to create the ultimate tango film.



There’s something for everyone in this special festival, so come along! Prices for the films are £5 for adults, £4 for children.
