2025-11-01 10:00 - 18:00
Experience a range of different grief tending practices and a simple accessible ceremony in this day-long grief tending. Grief comes in many forms and we welcome them all – grief about life changes, bereavement and childhood losses, as well as ancestral, ecological and collective grief.
You are warmly invited to join us for this day-long workshop which has been designed to witness, hold, and transform your grief.
We will gently explore each stage of the grief tending journey through circle sharing, conversation in pairs, small group work and an accessible, inclusive ceremony. The session will include an introduction to the broad spectrum of loss, inspired by the ‘gates of grief’ map offered by Francis Weller, which includes collective grief (ecological, generational etc.) as well as personal losses such as bereavement and life transitions.

Suzanne Arnold Storyweaver has over 30 years of experience performing
and running workshops in storytelling, story-making and drama. She is a
professional storyteller and has hosted the Tales and Ales adult storytelling
club at the Locks Inn in Geldeston for 13 years.
Here is a glowing testimonial from a student on the last course:
“I have just finished Suzanne Arnold ‘s beginner’s storytelling course “Flesh
and Bones”. It was such an insightful 2 part process with a wonderful group
of people. Suzanne lead the way for us to explore diﬀerent aspects of what it
means to be a storyteller, how to strip back to the bones, then how to
embody the story and add the “Flesh”, the details that paint the picture. As
well as exploring things like gestures, facial expressions, breath work, voice,
body posture. With the opportunity to tell our chosen stories to a small group
of people which was terrifying but also a fantastic way to break the ice of
telling my first story.
Suzanne held the space so beautifully and her energy and passion inspired
us to get out of our comfort zones and fully engage with the stories and the
group. It was a delicious and nourishing experience! Thank you Suzanne

Norwich Film Festival: The Phantom of the Opera (1925) + Live Score by Minima
2025-11-03 19:30 - 22:00 | Norwich Theatre Playhouse, 42-58 St Georges Street, Norwich, Norfolk, NR3 1AB, United Kingdom
After a sell-out performance of Nosferatu in 2024, Minima returns to Norwich Film Festival at the Playhouse to celebrate the 100th anniversary of The Phantom of the Opera (1925), accompanying the film with an electrifying original live score.
Beneath the sewers of the Paris Opera House dwells a masked figure. He is the Phantom, a hideously disfigured composer whose dream is to turn chorus singer Christine into a diva. Lon Chaney, the “Man of a Thousand Faces”, dominates this classic adaptation of the 1910 novel. His ghastly make-up and outrageous performance made The Phantom of the Opera one of the great classics of American silent film.
Fast-moving and exciting, the film is a dramatic tale of obsession, kidnap, murder and revenge, beautifully tinted throughout and featuring an impressive sequence of early Technicolor as the Phantom appears at a Masked Ball.
This is the original film version of Phantom which inspired numerous remakes. It was a critical and commercial success upon release, as these press quotes from the time contest: an “ultra fantastic melodrama” (New York Times); “produced on a stupendous scale” (Moving Picture World); “probably the greatest inducement to nightmare that has yet been screened” (Variety)
Minima has specialised in live accompaniment to screenings of silent films since 2006. Their electrifying original score for The Phantom of the Opera captures the horror of the story but also finds pathos, romance and humour. Drums, bass, guitar and cello strike up a thrilling relationship with the film, following the Phantom down into his subterranean nightmare world.
