Two actors play all the roles in the story of a busy night in the local curry house. They are also joined by a chef from your very own local restaurant offering a spicy cookery demonstration. Includes a chance to share food and conversation with your local chef and the cast.
The story of The Chef Show centres on father and son Abdul and Khalid on a particularly busy night in their restaurant. As they struggle to deal with all of the customers ‘out front’ and the staff in the kitchen they also have to decide on the future of the family business. Will Khalid carry on the family business, or is this the end? Much of the fun of the show comes from seeing just two actors having to play multiple roles – in the same scene!
With Guest Chef from My Lahore, Leeds.
Deliciously entertaining for all the family!. Pay as you feel after the show, but places must be booked in advance as this is a ticketed event.

Merengue and Salsa
The official dance of the Dominican Republic, merengue is generally considered easy to learn, making it a great choice for those looking to ease their way in to Latin dancing.
Salsa is a dance and a musical style with deep Caribbean and African roots. It’s very popular in almost all Latin American, and among Latino communities in the United States. In recent years, this dance has also gained popularity in Europe and in Asia.

The Rumba is often referred to as the “grandfather of the Latin dances.” Originating in Cuba, it first came to the United States in the early 1920s. It is a slow and sensual dance.
The Mambo dance originated in Cuba as a mixture of Afro-Caribbean and Latin American cultures. The word “mambo” denotes an African origin, particularly from the Congo region.
Cha Cha cha
The Cha Cha Cha is a lively dance with African influences that developed in Cuba after World War II.

2019-05-22 20:45 | HEART – Headingley Enterprise & Arts Centre, Bennett Road, Headingley, Leeds, LS6 3HN
In this interactive workshop, Gerry Andrews, Integrative Massage Therapist and Body-Mind Coach, will take you through an exploration of pain:

how pain in our bodies is intimately entwined with our emotions;
how we ‘sabotage’ our own health and wellbeing, creating our own ‘disabled minds’; and
what we can do about it.

As part of the workshop, you will also explore some mindfulness practices and techniques that can help you not only manage, but recover from chronic pain.
Gerry works with individuals to help them recognise and overcome the blocks (in their bodies and their minds) that are preventing them living the lives they wish to live.
Using a blend of manual therapies, coaching strategies, movement exercises and energy work, Gerry helps people connect their mental selves to their physical selves so as to be more effective, positive and energised. As well as having clinics in Guiseley, Horsforth and Leeds, he sees people in the workplace and at home.
