The photo of Eileen popping out of a cake is from a dance skit I made for the 30th Birthday Celebration, which included dancers dressed in kitchen aprons dancing with mops and featured cameo appearances by all 3 Founders: Peter was wheeled in on a kitchen trolley, sipping tea. Dorothy entered followed by a flock of very small children dressed as fairies. Eileen popped out of the cake at the end. When I asked her if it was ok for her to sit on a stool inside the cake while the rest of the piece happened, unsurprisingly, she said she’d just meditate.

The dancers in this photo include Brita Adkinson on the left and Patricia Andersson on the right.

This photo of the same piece shows all the dancers (they were my regular cohort). From left to right: Brita Adkinson, Liz Donovan, Marijke Wilhelmus, Sharon Took-Zozaya, Patricia Andersson – plus one of the fairies, who is probably Marijke’s daughter Natalia.

This is taken from a page in the April to October 1994 brochure for the first ever Essence of the Arts in Community.
