Born in Barnsley, the ballet dancer trained at the Bolshoi in Moscow and is now bringing her own show to Sheffield and Rotherham. It’s worth making the trip to see her.

Elsewhere, we focus on Ecclesfield from its near 1,000-year history to its present day offering - and look to make the most of the outdoors with the best pubs, cafes and suppliers.

From Barnsley to the Bolshoi TALA LEE-TURTON IS ONE OF JUST THREE BRITISH DANCERS TO TRAIN AT THE REVERED RUSSIAN ACADEMY, BUT WE GOT TO TALK TO HER ABOUT SHOWCASING HER SUCCESS CLOSER TO HOME. BY MAEVE BURRELL.

t is every little girl’s dream to become a professional ballet dancer, to wear decadent costumes and perform in front of a crowd; but as adults we know the huge amount of hard work and discipline that comes along with this highly respected profession.

Tala Lee-Turton is no stranger to the challenge of the industry, having been selected to train at the Bolshoi Academy in Russia at the age of just 16. However, we got to speak to Tala as she prepares to debut her first live production back in her home county of South Yorkshire – the highly anticipated “dance and music experience” that will take place in Sheffield Botanical Gardens as part of the Dance in the Gardens event, and in the grounds of Wentworth House, Rotherham.

Tala’s production ‘No Time Like the Present’ has involved two years of bid writing, pitching to potential corporate sponsors, bringing together an awesome and diverse team, developing the concept and planning operations. She hopes that audiences will be able to connect with performance and feel within the very centre of it.

Tala is taking her own strict training in the Russian style and combining it with a modern take in an outdoor setting in order to create an immersive experience for the audience, whilst giving her a chance to pay homage to the beauty of her homeland.

“The outdoors has its own temperament – it is alive like an indoor space never can be. This challenges the creative team in that we have to harness the energy of the natural environment and interact with it, almost like a sixth dancer!” she says. This is a daring step away from a traditional theatre setting, meaning Tala and her team will have to work harder to jump higher and embrace the unpredictability of the nature around them, though the excitement that it presents makes this worth it for her.

I

As well as the setting, Tala feels a huge importance is placed on using a diverse range of performers who come from different backgrounds and have different skills, as the production also enables her to celebrate her South Yorkshire identity, which she says she is very proud of.

“In No Time like the Present, each of the five dancers has a solo in which to communicate their inner realities to the audience,” Tala explains. “During my solo, I deliberately investigate my background as a woman of dual heritage from South Yorkshire - it is a crucial part of why I am who I am.”

This will make for a thoughtprovoking and incredible performance that will resonate with viewers due to Tala’s impressive creativity, performed against an enrapturing pop-synth score.

All this sounds like a huge amount of work and potentially daunting preparation, but Tala says she loves a challenge, which could be a quality she acquired when training at the most stringent and challenging ballet school in the world.

Tala’s journey from Barnsley to the Bolshoi has been inspiring, beginning with joining a ballet class at four years old, “something fun to do as a hobby” she says - but Tala quickly showed talent and saw a future career in the art.

“When I was 16 years old, my then dance teachers filmed and sent off an audition video of me to the Academy… I was accepted to train there from that video,” Tala recalls.

Her success story should serve as an inspiration to anyone who sets their mind to something, that with hard work achievement, it is always possible. Having already achieved so much, we were interested to know what Tala will do next, since her esteemed balletic background has prepared her to take her career even further.

“I have come to realise that the work I most enjoy being part of is diverse and multidisciplinary, and my ballet training has set me up well for that” she comments. She believes that “the best work disrupts and provokes” which No Time like the Present certainly seems to, whilst still being adorned by meticulous www.rmcmedia.co.uk 27

“The outdoors has its own temperament – it is alive like an indoor space never can be. We have to harness the energy of the natural environment and interact with it, almost like a sixth dancer!” technical ability, acknowledging and developing ballet into a more diverse and modern movement.

Tala believes her South Yorkshire background has helped her develop an “alternative perspective” on classical ballet and also recognises the huge positive influence of family on her advancement as a dancer, believing that she has her Mum to thank for teaching her the fundamental lessons in life. “My Mum has been a huge inspiration for me and still is - I wouldn’t be where I am today without her,” Tala enthuses. “From her I have learnt how to work for what I believe in, how to be focused and determined, and how kindness is the most underrated but most powerful aspect of a character.”

She now hopes to bring a “multifaceted female role” to life through No Time Like the Present, which no doubt will be inspired by her powerful maternal role model.

Eventually, Tala would like to tour her productions nationally and internationally, which of course would be a treat for any audience to witness.

28 www.rmcmedia.co.uk

The COVID-19 pandemic brought Tala’s work as a freelance dancer to a halt, but, like in much of the music and arts industry, in the absence of performance came a metamorphosis of creation. The extra time on her hands allowed Tala to sit and consider her next steps, landing on the fact that she sought more agency and independence over her work.

She says: “The seed was planted during the pandemic, when live performance was at a standstill and I was, like many folk, reflecting.

“I considered the possibility that now might be time to take a risk, to grasp some creative autonomy that my career as a freelance dancer, always dancing other people’s work, had not yet afforded me. I decided to form my own production company, Tala Lee-Turton Productions, and No Time like the Present began to take shape.”

Choosing to showcase the production outdoors was also inspired by the ‘new normal’ that the pandemic left in its wake, as Tala believes you cannot just stand still and stick with the status quo,

you must adapt to your surroundings, and that is where true innovation comes from.

This step towards running her own train must be inevitably stressful and mean a great deal of new responsibility, but Tala says she loves a challenge.

“If it ever gets too much, I bake a cake and binge Lord of the Rings,” she says – which I think is something we can all relate to.

We in South Yorkshire are delighted that Tala has chosen to return to her home turf for a celebration of herself and her heritage, and even more delighted that we get to see it in the form of an exhilarating, entertaining performance.

Dance in the Gardens is on 24-25 August in the Botanical Gardens, Sheffield.The shows at Wentworth House will be on 19-21 August and 26-28 August.Visit https://wentworthwoodhouse.org.uk/whatson/no-time-like-the-present/ or https://talaleeturton.com/dance-in-thegardens/ to book tickets.

ECCLESFIELD

Past, present and future WITH A HISTORY STRETCHING BACK ALMOST 1,000 YEARS, ECCLESFIELD NOW MARRIES THE BEST OF OLD AND NEW. he origins of the suburb of Ecclesfield, just four miles north of Sheffield city centre, can be traced all the way back to the Domesday Book of 1086.

At this time it was referred to as ‘Eclesfeld’, the meaning of which is uncertain. Traditionally it has been derived from the Celtic ‘eggless’ meaning church, specifically a Romano-British one, and the old English ‘feld’, meaning a woodland clearing. Thus the name could mean “Open land near a RomanoBritish Christian church”. However, an alternative suggestion is that the first element ‘eccles’ derives from a Saxon personal name or an association with water.

The Domesday Book does not mention a church at Ecclesfield. The present Church of St Mary, one of only five Grade I listed buildings in Sheffield, largely dates from the late 15th century, but incorporates features from about 1200. It was the centre of the ancient parish of Ecclesfield, which was one of the most extensive in England before it was broken up in the 19th century. Its style is Perpendicular, with a central tower, and it formerly bore the title of the “Minster of the Moors”.

The Benedictine Ecclesfield Priory,

T

30 www.rmcmedia.co.uk

established in the 12th century, served as a cell of St Wandrille’s Abbey in Normandy until the 14th century, when it passed to the Carthusians. It is now a Grade II* listed building.

During the First World War the Royal Flying Corps (RFC) established a relief landing ground just outside the eastern boundary of the village, on land that is now largely given over to an industrial estate, near to the current M1 motorway.

‘A’ flight of 33 Squadron used the site during 1916 as part of a Home Defence scheme to protect against Zeppelin raids, but as the threat of raids diminished the Ecclesfield landing site, along with several others in the area were decommissioned. No further flying has been recorded as having taken place.

Today, Ecclesfield has an old square, a cricket club, a large park, the Gatty

Memorial Hall, a secondary school— Ecclesfield comprehensive School, previously Ecclesfield Grammar School – and Ecclesfield Primary School, as well as various shops and other civic amenities.

On the border of Ecclesfield Parish – which incorporates the suburbs of Chapeltown, High Green and Grenoside – is Greno Wood, a forested area listed as Grade B on the English Nature Invertebrate Site Register, as of special archaeological and geological significance. The wood is managed by the Wildlife Trust for Sheffield and Rotherham.

According to Zoopla, the average prices for homes in the S35 postcode stand at £310,228 (detached), £201,374 (semi-detached) and £159,928 (terraced).

“Richard first played the Leadmill in 1984 with his then band Treebound Story. In the following decades he has played the venue more times than probably any other musician. Now to our horror The Leadmill is under threat from new landlords who have issued eviction orders after 42 years,” said his team.

Posing as a substitute music teacher at an elite prep school, he exposes his students to the rock gods he idolises, transforming them into a mindblowing rock band. Featuring 14 new songs from Andew Lloyd Webber, plus all the original songs from the hit movie, School of Rock will warm your heart and blow you away in equal measure.

The Peacock Stannington Sitting on the edge of the countryside, The Peacock Stannington was taken over

by Jamie Tuxford last year.

Jamie had worked in pubs during his younger years but after completing a degree in accounting and finance he went onto to work as a sales trainer and more latterly as an operation manager for a call centre. The idea of running his own pub remained at the back of his mind though and given time to reflect during the pandemic – he decided to go for it.

“I’ve got a couple of friends who live in Stannington and they said ‘why don’t you look at the Peacock’,” Jamie recalls.

“I made some enquiries, had a look round and could see its potential. I decided to go for it.”

When the suns shines, the beer garden is a real hot-spot to enjoy some drinks and home-cooked food. Call 0114 234 2505 or visit www.peacockstannington.co.uk to find out more.

If you’re looking to impress your guests at a barbecue or picnic, look no further than Helen’s Bakery.

For years they have maintained a reputation for selling some of the best baked goods in Sheffield and have been under the management of Helen Wragg and Graham Foster since 2000 until Graham sadly passed away in 2016.

They like to say they are bringing joy to Hillsborough, and is something they hope to do for years to come.

Helen’s Bakery is a full-service sandwich shop that has become an important part of the local community.

Steak pies are a particular best-seller, filled with hand selected beef from top butchers Wasteneys in Grenoside.

They can also cater for any occasion.

Set in the beautiful countryside surrounding Sheffield, The Strines Inn is a historic, atmospheric inn with hearty food and excellent real ales.

The building was originally a manor house and dates back to 1275. Over the years it was extended and eventually converted into an inn in 1771.

The beer garden is the perfect place to enjoy stunning views of the surrounding countryside. Geese, chickens and peacocks roam nearby, while an enclosed play means there are plenty of fun to be had for kids.

The menu consists of traditional pub favourites that have earned them a fine reputation for quality food, and there is also unique accommodation available.

Shahab Uddin specialises in Indian and Bangladeshi food and has been working at Jalfong in Crookes for 20 years. It is a 90 cover restaurant and is the perfect place for parties, meetings, gatherings as well as intimate dining for couples.

Shahab’s speciality dish is roasted lamb shank, which is cooked in a choice of Karahi, Jalfrezi or Bhuna sauce with sliced onions, garlic, ginger, fresh tomatoes and selected special herbs and spices, garnished with fresh coriander.

He also recommends the Jaflong special, Bengal Tiger, which contains chicken tikka and lamb tikka, sliced onion, green peppers, fresh tomato, fresh coriander, chopped green chillies, fresh garlic and chef’s special spices. Sounds delicious.

Salt ‘n’ pepper stones ROSE CUT DIAMONDS HAVE BECOME POPULAR AGAIN AS CUSTOMERS SEARCH FOR SOMETHING DIFFERENT. ver the last few years rose cut diamonds and coloured gemstones have become increasingly popular. The style is often seen in stylish ‘salt n pepper’ diamonds and creates a look very different to the classic brilliant cut sparkle.

Rose cut stones usually have a flat back and a domed front covered with triangular facets. The flat back means they sit lower than fully faceted stones making them fantastic for larger pendants or rings that can sit close to the finger. The many facets across the front of the stone showcase the lustre of the gem, twinkling as they catch the light.

Originally popular in the 18th century, rose cut diamonds fell out of favour as developments in cutting techniques unlocked the dazzling sparkle of the brilliant cut diamond. Recently however, they have become more popular again as consumers search for something different.

Essentially, ‘salt n pepper’ diamonds allow us to make use of diamond material that would not otherwise be suitable for faceting and setting in jewellery. The raw material is of lower colour and clarity than would be seen in traditional diamond jewellery, often with a black, grey or brown hue. Inclusions within the stones (typically crystals of other minerals trapped inside the stone as it formed or internal fractures known as feathers) create an attractive texture and shimmer.

Diamonds have unparalleled bright lustre known as adamantine (diamond-like) and rose cut stones really show this off. Reflections from the surface are bright and eye-catching, with bold flashes completely different to the glitter of a brilliant cut stone.

Other coloured gemstones can also be faceted as rosecuts. As with diamonds, material with lower clarity that otherwise may not be used can look fantastic in large, abstract shapes in bright and bold hues. Cutting such stones in this way shows off their best feature – the colour – as evidenced by the aquamarine and Tanzanite rings pictured.

Tourmaline is a gemstone that forms in a wide variety of colours and also in parti-coloured stones with more than one hue. Where a good balance of colour occurs they can be cut to create an attractive display. Recently arrived into stock, the necklace pictured features a stone known as a watermelon tourmaline with green surrounding a pink centre. Subtle changes in the chemical environment as the crystal grows cause this change in colour that looks a bit like a slice of watermelon! Crystals are cut as slices to showcase this, and in this case finished with rose cut faceting to give a subtle twinkle as it catches the light.

Find out more about rose cut stones and view the featured pieces and more by visiting our showroom where our jewellers and gemmologists will be happy to tell you more.

Preserve your vision IS AN EYE EXAMINATION ON YOUR BACK-TO-SCHOOL CHECKLIST? s your back-to-school preparation begins and you’re starting to write your shopping list of stationery, uniforms, and shoes, have you thought about taking your child for an eye examination?

A child can have an eye examination when they are younger, however from school age is a more than suitable time for an eye exam unless there are concerns about your child’s vision. Regular eye examinations are important, as not only do Martyn Kemp’s optometrists check your vision for changes in prescription, but also assess the health of the eye including the macular and retina.

Over the last few years there have been several lifestyle changes meaning children are spending a lot more time indoors, using digital devices and taking part in a lot more near work. These changes are thought to contribute to vision problems such as eye strain and myopia and have an impact on sleep and concentration.

If you have noticed your child struggling to see clearly at a distance, making it harder to concentrate at school and have a fulfilling experience at play, then

your child may have myopia. Being able to have your child’s myopia diagnosed early not only corrects their vision now, but can help slow the progression of myopia and preserve their vision and eye health for the future.

Buzzing about the Buzz

What’s all the fuss?

All eyes are on Volkswagen’s latest addition to its ID range, writes Richard Abbey.

Extreme upgrade Alfa Romeo’s new Giulia and Stelvio ESTREMA models offer top of the range specification with the perfect combination of technical refinement, driving pleasure and sporting luxury.

Targeted at driving purists, the ESTREMA builds on the Veloce and is fitted with Alfa Synaptic Dynamic Control (SDC) adaptive suspension and a limited slip differential as standard, adapting to conditions to provide comfort without compromising handling and driving pleasure. The limited slip differential provides stability and high control in all grip conditions, distributing torque and traction even when exiting corners, at high speeds and during acceleration.

Both inside and out, carbon fibre and dark painted elements define the sporty look of the ESTREMA. The exterior features carbon fibre mirror caps and front ‘V’ grille, dark tone ESTREMA badging and five-hole, dark painted 19-inch alloy wheels on the Giulia and 21-inch wheels on the Stelvio.

It is available in a choice of four exterior colours: Alfa red, Alfa white,Vulcano black and Misano blue.

Prices start from £50,579 OTR.

58 www.rmcmedia.co.uk

The long-awaited Volkswagen ID. Buzz will launch with a ‘1st Edition’ model alongside the standard Style and Life trims. All feature the 77kWh lithium-ion battery, supplying 150kW (204 PS) to a rear-mounted electric motor that develops 310Nm of torque and is capable of an all-electric driving range of up to 415km (258 miles).

The ‘1st Edition’ specification includes a full range of safety, security and convenience features, as well as the latest in connectivity, including Car2X technology. LED lights, 21-inch wheels and the ID. Buzz’s unique design are of course also included. The ID. Buzz range currently starts at £57,115 (RRP inc VAT and OTR) for the Life, rising through £61,915 for the Style and up to £62,995 for the 1st Edition.

The ID. Buzz is one of the most highly-anticipated models having already been named Electric Car of the Year at this year’s Top Gear Electric Awards 2022, with judges praising it for its iconic design, spacious interior, and driving capabilities.

Sensual tech Renault has confirmed full pricing and specification of the All-New Mégane ETech 100 per cent Electric, which is available to preorder now priced from £35,995 OTR with first deliveries expected later in the year.

The All-New Renault Mégane E-Tech is the first of a new generation of electric vehicles built on the advanced CMF-EV platform, styled within the brand’s ‘sensual tech’ design language and the first model to wear the new ‘Nouvel’R’ logo.

With an electric driving range of up to 280 miles (WLTP), the All-New Mégane E-Tech also features a class-leading digital experience with a 12.3-inch dashboard display, 9-inch multimedia display, and Android Automotive OS with integrated Google services.

Modern luxury The new Mercedes-Benz GLC embodies modern, sporty luxury in every detail. It is the most dynamic model in the successful SUV family; even at first glance, this is underlined by its design with unique proportions, dramatic surfaces, precisely moulded edges and a clearly laid-out, high-quality interior.

It also impresses with its driving performance and efficiency. The GLC is available only as a hybrid: either as a plug-in hybrid or as a mild hybrid with 48 volt technology and an integrated starter-generator.

The plug-in hybrids offer a range of more than more than 100 kilometres (WLTP) - perfect for predominantly electric everyday driving. The GLC is at home on any terrain: whether on or off the road, it impresses with its comfort and agility.
