Cara Cummings shares the extraordinary story of how a humble Londoner became a kite-flying king and joined the most famous circus in the world...
I
t started with a trip to the park. Multi-winning world champion kite-flyer Chris Goff was six years old the first time he flew a kite. “It’s all because Dad wanted to get us out of the house,” he laughs. “He bought a kite to get the family outside. It was supposed to just be a way of us spending time together.” But a chance meeting during the Goff’s first kite-flying excursion changed everything for Chris. “We were in our local park and a kite shop owner happened to be there at the same time. He saw me flying, told my Dad I was a natural and asked how long I’d been doing it for. ‘About 20 minutes!’ was Dad’s response; and things just went from there.” Since that fateful day, Chris has won the World Sport Kite Championships three times, the UK National Championships more than 20 times, and has spent the last two years travelling the world as Cirque du Soleil’s kite expert-in-residence, performing across the globe in TORUK - The First Flight. ‘Le Petite Phenom’, as he was known on the circuit as a child, has come a long way. “I feel so privileged - I can’t
6 June 26 2019
describe how lucky I feel,” says the 29 year old former Woolwich furniture designer of his latest adventure. “Although people normally think I’m making it up - it’s quite a thing to say you ran off and joined the circus.” Inspired by James Cameron’s Avatar, TORUK is a spectacular live reimagining of the alien land of Pandora and it’s blue-hued Na’vi people. The theatrical odyssey is also the first show in the world to use kites as part of an indoor performance. Chris’ transition from world champion to international stage star is a tale of how creativity, grit and persistence can pay off extraordinarily. Even if the audition process was a little unorthodox - “I had to send in videos of me running around my office, moving like a Na’vi,” he chuckles. “I’m not sure my colleagues really knew what to make of it!” For despite his prodigal success - Chris won his first competition at just 10 years old - the humble Londoner never thought his “lifelong addiction” could become a full-time career. “I didn’t realise you could do it every day,” he explains. “When I was approached by Cirque du Soleil, it was like: ‘Oh my god! -
this is my dream job, and I didn’t even realise was an option!’ I was settled and comfortable at home, but I knew I had to do it. For the inner child in me - I couldn’t let him down.” Chris left his job, packed up his flat and headed to Montreal for three weeks of intense training at Cirque du Soleil’s Canadian headquarters. Having never been onstage before in his life, he had to learn to act from scratch. “I found it really nervewracking,” admits Chris. “But it’s a bit like kite-flying - it takes dedication. You have to keep pushing to get better. And as long as you’re enjoying it, you will; I’ve learnt that from the acrobats here at Cirque.” Determination, coupled with his innate creativity - Chris studied at Central St. Martins and designs his own kite range - has built him a reputation as one of the most innovative and exciting flyers on the scene. “We didn’t have YouTube back when I started out,” Chris recalls, “so I’d study what people were doing with their hands. I’d work out a new, continuous trick, then I’d learn it on both hands. I still do that now. I try and fly to current music instead of classical, too, so that people can dance around whilst
I did my thing. I caused a bit of a stir once in France, though, when I realised - too late! - that a song I was using was full of swear words...” Chris credits south London as a key inspiration for his unique creativity. In particular, New Cross Gate and Woolwich, both areas where he used to work. “When I first came to south London it was so inspiring, so diverse,” he says. “It has completely influenced me in terms of being open to new things, because there’s always something going on in that part of the world.” That connection adds an extra poignancy to TORUK’s London shows at the Greenwich O2. The run will be more than a homecoming for Chris - the performances are the last of the show itself, which will officially close after the final curtain falls. “I can’t believe I get to close the show where I grew up,” says Chris. “It’s going to be a really emotional experience.” Along with his friends and family, some of Chris’ lifelong kite-flying compadres will be in the audience, too. “We call them kite family,” he says. “I’m so proud to show them what I’ve been up to.” It’s a global clan - in every
country Chris has visited with the TORUK tour, there’s usually been a kite-flyer or three to catch up with. “When we were in Shanghai, 40 kite flyers came to fly with me,” he says. “it was mind-blowing! Arriving in a field in the middle of nowhere, with a load of people who don’t speak the same language but are flying your kite… It’s something I’ll never forget.” But for now, Chris is focused on his final home-turf performances and hopes TORUK will motivate a new wave of Londoners to try their hand at kiting. “I wish that I could have seen something like this when I was younger,” he says. “I’m so proud to show people how far kites have come, and what’s possible if you love flying them. There’s no greater feeling kites are such a beautiful, natural thing. People walk around nowadays with their heads looking down at their phones; but with kites, you’re out in nature, looking up. How often do people do that today? “If I can inspire someone else to give it a go, then I’ll be happy.” TORUK - The First Flight plays at the Greenwich O2 from June 26th-29th.

La belle Hélène at Blackheath Halls
T
he annual Blackheath Halls Community Opera is back with an exciting production of La belle Hélène on the 200th anniversary of Jacques Offenbach’s birth, writes Laura Burgoine... The community opera project, which has been running since 2007, allows people of all ages and experience from Greenwich, Lewisham and beyond the opportunity to take part in a high quality, live musicmaking experience alongside a professional cast of soloists and production teams. Tenor Nicky Spence, who is the patron of Blackheath Halls Community Opera, says “we offer an opportunity for a diverse group of people to come and work towards an opera production every summer.” “It’s my second year as patron, and I’m always overwhelmed on the effect it has on everyone who gets involved. For some people it’s the social highlight of the year. We have 40 fantastically enthusiastic kids involved. Everyone inspires each other; the older generation is inspired by the younger people,” Nicky told the Weekender. The opera group engages a group of top drawer soloists for the summer. “It really gives them something different from the norm,
8 June 26 2019
at a grass roots level,” Nicky said. “It can be a bit poncy being an opera singer, wearing wigs and all but to actually remember the joy of singing and collaboration… Opera is one of the most collaborative art forms with dance, singing, a full orchestra. You have all these facets coming together to work together.” He describes the experience of being in a community opera as “basically playing.” “It doesn’t really matter how qualified you are to do that, and it’s a fantastic way to spend the summer. Originally the Halls were built for community use, and it’s a fantastic resource.” The atmosphere at Blackheath Halls is “really inclusive.” “It’s well managed and you’re coaxed into singing beautifully with the rest of the company. You can come in with no experience; we’re more interested in enthusiasm.” In addition, the Blackheath Halls Presents concert series regularly bring international performers to south east London. “This gives an image into what the Halls was in the ‘60s and ‘70s. Radio 3 would record there because the acoustics are so perfect for a chamber recital.” “I think there’s a lot of enthusiasm for opera becoming more accessible and lowering any barriers about class and access,” Nicky said. “Even though some of
the operas were written 200 years ago, when people come and see that, they realise all the stories are accessible. I think that’s becoming more well known. People need to know it’s there.” For the 200th anniversary of Jacques Offenbach’s birth, the opera group has selected La belle Hélène, which tells the tale of the abduction of the fair Helen by the Paris, Prince of Troy. He is aided and abetted by the wily high priest, Calchas, who outwits Helen’s much deceived husband, Menelaus, as well as an assortment of bumbling Greek heroes. The score includes some of Offenbach’s best-loved melodies. “The 200th anniversary is a good punt to go for something and really give a glitter canon of an opera,” Nicky said. “It’s a French romp with the usual in one stall and out the other, mistaken identity, high kicks and frilly knickers.” “The music’s fantastic. The singing is out of this world. The lead Ellie Larn one of the music scene’s hottest tickets, this is her role debut as Helene, and there’s some other familiar faces from the world of opera there as well. It’s a great opera for Blackheath Halls’ re-launch.” La Belle Helene is in the recital rooms on June 30, and July 16-21. Admission: £10. www.blackheathhalls.com

their eighth consecutive success on the national stage. Organised by the Down’s Syndrome Association, the event brought 24 teams from across the UK together, with more than 150 participants taking part in total. 14 Upbeats travelled up to this year’s tournament, split into two
www.weekender.co.uk
six-a-side teams – Upbeats Addicks and Upbeats Valiants – with one substitute each. Upbeats Addicks were drawn in a group alongside Merseyside Blues, who they overcame in last year’s final, and took on in their opening game. 1-1 midway through, it finished 3-1 to the Upbeats, a
repeat of last season. The Addicks won all five group games, seeing off the likes of Millwall Community Trust and Fulham FC Foundation’s DS teams. Upbeats Valiants’ results included a hard-earned 1-0 win against Lincoln City Foundation’s DS team and a 6-1 thrashing of Merseyside Whites. A loss to QPR in the Community’s side meant the Valiants narrowly missed out on qualifying for the semi-finals on goal difference. Upbeats Addicks made it through, and beat Lincoln 4-0 to set up a final against Bristol and Swindon’s combined team, who triumphed against Arsenal Community’s North London United in the other semi-final. They started the final strongly and cruised to an 8-1 victory to claim their eighth consecutive and ninth title overall. The Upbeats were on top form, lethal in front of goal and solid defensively.
Malick Irmal, who was appearing in his fifth tournament, said: “Charlton had more power, more energy; we did good! This feels like our Champions League final”. James Barnes, who has been involved in the programme from the very start, said: “I feel overwhelmed. It was an amazing performance by the Upbeats. Let’s do this and win next year’s DS Active tournament and bring that back to Sparrows Lane too.” The Upbeats programme allows participants to play high-level football in an inclusive environment, as well as increasing their aspirations and strengthening bonds and relationships between their family members. The Upbeats will be heading to Belfast on 26 June to compete in the George Best Community Cup, a pan-disability tournament, for the third time.

Royal Greenwich Get Together & Armed Forces Day

W
oolwich really is the place to be this summer, writes Holly O’Mahony... Not only is a hefty chunk of Greenwich and Docklands International Festival (GDIF) taking place there over the next two weeks, but the district is also hosting the annual Royal Greenwich Get Together and Armed Forces Day celebrations on Saturday June 29. The free event is an opportunity for residents from across the borough to celebrate the community and enjoy a variety of entertainment, which this year includes a carnival-style community parade, a farmers’ market, live music, arts and crafts, and sports activities among the line-up. The annual veterans’ parade also forms part of the celebrations, and there will be an armed forces area in the Royal Arsenal where you can find military vehicles, performances by army and navy cadets, marine activities on the river, and the veterans’ award ceremony. The celebrations, which last year saw over 20,000 visitors, is taking place across the whole of Woolwich, from General Gordon Square to Number One Street on the Royal Arsenal, with activities running from 12pm – 6pm. Councillor Danny Thorpe, Leader of the Royal Borough of Greenwich, said: “Our annual Get Together and Armed Forces Day is one of our biggest events of the year and this year there are more than 60 performances and activities throughout the
14 June 26 2019
day. From slacklining and slime workshops to a puppetry show in a double decker bus, the bursting line-up has something to entertain everyone.” He continued: “The Get Together brings together our communities to celebrate our rich and diverse culture and showcase local talent. We have local schools and community groups performing throughout the day alongside world-class professional shows. You won’t want to miss it, so make sure you save the date.” As is tradition, the day’s activities kick off with the veterans’ parade on the Royal Arsenal: a celebration of the rich military history of the borough. Throughout the day, an eclectic mix of bands, DJs and musicians will perform everything from folk and soul, to latin and jazz with some pop and rock in between. Perhaps most excitingly on the music front is a performance from X Factor contestants Misunderstood. The musical duo from London, made up of Stefan, 25 and Jeff, 27, made it through to the live shows of X Factor in 2018, after being mentored by Robbie Williams. Misunderstood delighted the live and home audiences of the show with their catchy pop-meetsR&B songs and smooth moves, and are sure to get the crowds dancing at the Royal Greenwich Get Together. Another headlining performance comes by way of Gangsta Granny, Heartbreak Productions’ theatrical adaptation of David Walliams’ children’s book of the same name. Continues on page 15

The story follows Ben, an 11-yearold boy who discovers his Scrabbleplay, cabbage-eating grandma is harbouring a thrilling secret. “Gangsta Granny has been one of the most exciting David Walliams’ shows we’ve put together,” says Emily Bennett, marketing manager of Heartbreak Productions. “Not only is the story something that resonates deeply with all of us involved, it’s provided an amazing platform to share such an important and relevant message.” The performance at the Great Get Together will be Gangsta Granny’s 40th since the show opened in Waterford, Ireland in May. “This
laura@weekender.co.uk /
www.weekender.co.uk
is our first time performing at the Great Get Together and we’re extremely excited to be part of the event,” says Emily. “Heartbreak are really passionate about our performances being a full experience compared to just a show… Packed with audience interaction, music and dance, our production encourages everyone to get involved and break the often rigid expectations of theatre that you should sit quietly and watch the performers,” she says. Those keen to catch Gangsta Granny are welcome to arrive up to an hour before the performance starts, and are advised bring something
comfortable to sit on and pack a picnic to enjoy while meeting the characters before the action begins. Meanwhile, over in the the Kids Zone, little ones can get stuck into a programme of activities led by the Forest School, including a chance to make your own stick man, dream catcher or magic wand. Green-minded grown-ups might want to check out the Cycle Zone, an area dedicated to everything on two wheels, or browse the 70+ community stalls to find out more about local organisations, charities, and how to get involved in the local community.

Other highlights at the event – all of which you can enjoy for free – include the carnivalstyle community parade, a craft workshop with world-renowned theatre company Punchdrunk and a pirate ship-turned-children’s play area. Whatever you do, don’t forget to peep inside Apocalyptic Circus’s My House, a 30-minute performance piece which takes place inside a giant pop-up Wendy house. Audience members are invited to peer through the windows and doors to gape at the circus spectacle taking place within, before entering the house
18 June 26 2019
after the show and testing out their own circus skills. How did the idea of creating a circus spectacle inside a giant Wendy house come about? “We had the set – the house – for many years and always knew we wanted to make another show in it,” says Linn Brodén, half of Apocalyptic Circus. “The idea started when me and the other performer [Sunniva Byvard] decided we wanted to make a show where both us and the audience where having fun,” she says. My House has proved a success, delighting audiences young and old in Norwich, Brighton and Salisbury.
“We just started the tour and are taking the show to a lot of places across the country this summer,” says Linn. “Both children and adults seem to really engage with the performance and the play element afterwards. There’s a lot of laughter!” For Linn, My House has three main purposes: “First and foremost, I hope families enjoy watching the show. I also hope they can connect with our theme of working together and finding a common language. Lastly, I hope people get inspired to use their bodies in different ways.” Continues overleaf

If you miss the performance of My House in Woolwich town centre for the Great Get Together, you’ll have a second chance to see it, because the show is also on as part of GDIF, with performances taking place on July 4 and 5 on Passey Place in Eltham. As well as the festivities taking place throughout Woolwich for the Great Get Together, the streets will also be lined with street food trucks, bars and a farmers’ market, which between them hope to keep hungry revellers well-stocked. Among the food offering is Back-a-Yard Grill, a stall selling Caribbean-inspired American street food. Curious? Think jerk fried chicken and double cheese jerk burgers. Yum. “Back-a-Yard Grill has been running for ten months and in this time, we’ve already won a Young Entrepreneur Award and been nominated for the Urban Food Awards 2019,” says stall runner Adrianna Baker, proudly. “We
20 June 26 2019
haven’t yet served food at the Great Get Together before, but we are really looking forward to it – it’s a great event!” If you miss them at the Great Get Together, or you try their jerk and find yourself hooked, you can ordinarily find Back-a-Yard Grill at events around Thamesmead and the Royal Arsenal Farmers’ Market. Among the stalls keeping sugar levels high, meanwhile, is Debbie Muscat and Peter Horn’s Beau Petit Macaron. The pair serve gourmet French Macarons filled with delectable, seasonal and often organic ingredients. At this time of year, expect to find the buttercream or ganache-filled delights flavoured with rhubarb and custard, blueberry cheesecake or choco mint. The Royal Greenwich Get Together is still very much linked to Armed Forces Day, a national event celebrated across the country and a chance for guests
to show support for the men and women in the Armed Forces community, from currently serving troops to Service families, veterans and cadets. Each year there is a main national event, which this year is being hosted by Wiltshire Council in Salisbury. Armed Forces Day takes place on the last Saturday of June each year, which this year falls on the 28th. Celebrations will begin on Monday 24th when the Armed Forces Day flag will be raised on buildings and famous landmarks around the country. The Royal Greenwich Get Together is taking place on June 29 throughout Woolwich, from General Gordon Square, Woolwich, SE18 6ES to Number One Street, Woolwich, London, SE18 6GH, from 12pm - 6pm. Admission: Free. www. royalgreenwich.gov.uk/gettogether. To find out more about Armed Forces Day visit www.armedforcesday.org.uk.

MARKET COMMENT Graham Lawes Director of Residential South East JLL
Long awaited launch of new phase at Trinity Walk
T
his week there has been a notable rise in Landlords exploring the sales option.
Valuations and instructions are at record levels for sales which is giving buyers plenty of choice. This seemingly cools the market for a period as each week new and tempting properties prolong any immediate commitment. It’s become less attractive for the accidental Landlord to hold on to their investment as new Tax Relief implications and the Stamp Duty uplift of 3% on a second home purchase make the retention less viable financially. This takes a considerable amount of rental stock out of the market for tenants, making it harder to find a suitable property. Often when they do they are in competition with other tenants, particularly on one and two bedroom apartments. So we have activity, we have offers, and we are agreeing sales. Being creative, making the economics work for our clients is key for a smooth sales process from one end of the chain to the other.

ovell Homes is expecting unprecedented demand for the long awaited launch of its new phase at Trinity Walk in Woolwich. Location is at the heart of this architectdesigned development with the new Crossrail station located just a mile away allowing commuters a seven minute journey into central London. After the fantastic success on phase one, they are delighted to announce the launch of the second phase of their development that will consist of a stunning collection of one, two and three bedroom apartments, with some of them being impressive duplexes.
26 June 26 2019
The apartment buildings have been carefully designed to create a strong visual impact, accentuated with sensitive design details to provide a sense of individuality and style. Each new home has been built to maximise space and light as well as being finished with a high specification to ensure high levels of comfort, security and quality. Stuart Gibbons, managing director of Lovell Homes, said: “We are looking forward to our launch showcase of our new phase at Trinity Walk. Buyers will be impressed with the space our apartments offer. All homes have been built to larger than normal standards which sets
Trinity Walk apart from other new build developments in the area.” The interiors are striking. Buyers can expect high gloss kitchens, with most fitted with fully integrated appliances. Each home also boasts contemporary white bathrooms suites and flooring throughout. Prices start from £350,000 and with Help to Buy available on all homes under £600,000, Lovell Homes are expecting a high demand on this popular scheme.
