July Slice of Cake. It’s festival time. Festival dresses, floppy hats and sunglasses. I am totally stocked out with sunglasses and gorgeous scarves. I have great linen jackets and jumpsuits and a few relaxed style tops and dresses. New in for July a new range of jewellery from Tilly & Grace and Strata. The Shruti scarves are looking fresh and colourful with some new silk and silk and cotton mix from Katie Page. With big sarongs for the beach. It’s also festival season here in Ipswich with the Ipswich Arts Festival happening from now. It’s a full programme of events with something for the whole family. If you go online ip-art you can see the complete line up. I am looking forward to the 12th July with the Big Top events which includes the Bo Nanafana Prohibition Club and Arthur Pita’s Nobody’s Baby at the Corn Exchange and Global Rhythm on Christchurch Park. I want to see it all. We are still appealing for couples who want to be part of the Arthur Pita’s Nobody’s Baby. It’s based on the never ending dance marathon of 1935 and we need extra couples to shuffle and move around the space to be part of the performances. There are taster workshops on the 1st July with a couple of rehearsals. If you want to part of this contact Jane Langston at DanceEast on 01473 235572.
