And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…

The Girl And The Giraffe | Albany Deptford | 25 Sep
Here’s a nice looking show for your little ones this Sunday, featuring every child’s favourite animal. Well, okay, not every child’s. But I am pretty sure every child in the world likes giraffes, even if they are not actually their very favourite animal. Anyway, I digress. This is the story, as you might have guessed, of the relationship between a girl and a giraffe, which explores themes of well-being and friendship. See this page here for more info.

In Spotlight – Trina and Raam | The Cockpit | 25 Sep
‘In Spotlight’ aims to offer performance opportunities to emerging London artists, and tonight this pair of upcoming talents present a show of improvised Indian classical dance and music. Trina Roy comes from a family with a long heritage of specialising in dance, and first performed aged three, while Raam Jeganathan is an accomplished veena player. See the venue website here for details.

Emily Rising | Little Angel Theatre | 10 Sep-20 Nov
And another show for children, this one for a slightly older target market, I think, and not really the sort of thing to take toddlers to. Anyway, it’s by established writer and academic Dan Rebellato and it’s the story of Emily (obv), who suddenly finds her feet can’t touch the ground. It covers themes appropriate to its aforementioned target audience – growing up, complicated family relationships and overcoming adversity. Head this way for more info.
