Domestic Goddess Returns
Submitted by Denise Hitchcock on Mon, 08/30/2010 - 22:18
We've been working hard to return Domestic Goddess to the stage for performance in Christchurch and it's looking good - we're aiming for pastry that is light and airy, cupcakes perfectly aligned, and precision timing!!
I have to confess that this is not a photo of my feet - just an image of how I think they should look.

Submitted by Elizabeth Isaacs on Fri, 03/19/2010 - 01:33
Last week we had are own little award ceremony before class. As Jan was unable to come to the Fringe Awards Jenny presented her with the 'best dance show duck' (and the beers).
Jen made her own presentation to Jan of a beautiful cupcake, and Jan gave us each a chocolate rose!

End of a great little season: the after-match function
Submitted by Rachel McAlpine on Mon, 03/01/2010 - 00:40We loved dancing at 
. A proper stage, a proper floor, great lighting system! Helpful staff who went the second mile! Lovely seats, nearly all of them filled by appreciative people! If you think I'm just smarming here, read this: the Expressions staff actually made a cupcake for everyone in the audience.
Saucy legs on stage
Submitted by Rachel McAlpine on Mon, 03/01/2010 - 00:29We were in saucy mode for "
" — very appropriate for the chefs' assistants. And as this photo and the career of Marlene Dietrich show, age is no barrier to having truly impressive legs.
Dancing helps. A lot.
Cupcakes forever!

Cupcakes is a theme of the year, already.
They featured prominently in our show, as Nigella sang their praises, I orated my totally original Ode to a Cupcake — and we tangoed around trays of delectable cupcakes ingeniously constructed from fabric and other materials. Jennifer Holdaway, our wonderful artist in residence, had done it again!
Releasing my inner aubergine
Submitted by Gay Puketapu-Andrews on Fri, 02/26/2010 - 21:35What a night!! Nigella was her fabulous self as usual & did such a fantastic job of showing our audience how to be domestic goddesses that I'm sure even some of the blokes would have gone home, donned their gingham pinnies & performed culinary miracles. Of course, she couldn't have done it without all our hard work with spoons, trays, pastry & various other kitchen essentials.
Anyone for a cup of tea? - A busy week for The Crows
Submitted by Elizabeth Isaacs on Fri, 02/26/2010 - 02:11
It has been a busy week preparing for our new show, which opens tonight! Last night we were at Expressions having our technical rehearsal. Katrina has come up with some stunning lighting effects. It was also a chance for us to get used to the new stage and settle into the fab dressing rooms.
