The Evacuation
On Monday 18th February 2013, The Chrysalis Theatre in Camphill Milton Keynes held a practise fire evacuation. The Chrysalis teamed up with Milton Keynes Theatre of Comedy who provided the audience a sneak preview of their upcoming production The History of Comedy – Funny Women. The audience needed to be made up of two hundred volunteers although only about seventy people actually turned up. While Milton Keynes Theatre of Comedy were performing their sneak preview, the fire alarm was set of and Martina Fiserova, who is the theatre manager explained were the fire exits were and that we should assemble outside of the front on the Chrysalis Theatre. This practise fire evacuation was planned in order to review the theatre’s evacuation procedure. There were lots of refreshments of cakes and teas and coffee before and after the fire evacuation in the foyer of the Chrysalis Theatre. I thought this event was important because we now know what do do if there was a real fire.

Valentine's Day Party
Here are some photos of a Valentine's Party that resident's and co-worker's had in the Chrysalis Theatre on 17th February 2013.
St. Valentine's Day began as a liturgical celebration of one or more early Christian saints named Valentinus. The most popular martyrology associated with Saint Valentine was that he was imprisoned for performing weddings for soldiers who were forbidden to marry and for ministering to Christians, who were persecuted under the Roman Empire.

Trip to the Grange
A group of us went by mini-bus to see Momo and the Time Thieves at the Grange Camphill in Gloucester. The Grange Camphill is very close together since it is smaller than Camphill Milton Keynes. The residents there have a great social life. Momo and the time Thieves is a play about a girl called Momo who is of unknown origin who lives in the ruins of an amphitheatre The pleasant atmosphere of the amphitheatre is spoiled by the arrival of the Men in Grey, eventually revealed as a race of paranormal parasites stealing the time of humans. Momo, is a wrench in the plans of the Time Thieves, in their plans of stealing time of her and her friends, and manages to save them with the help of the Time Professor Secundus Minutus Hor (Second Minute Hour) and Cassiopeia, a tortoise who talks. We stayed the night at a Travel Lodge and had our own rooms. We set of in the morning of Saturday 9th February 2013. The play went well. It was from 7.30 pm until 9.30 pm. There was an interval. It was quite similar to the play that people performed at Camphill Milton Keynes. We also had a look around Gloucester like at the Cathedral (which had beautiful stained glassed windows). Gloucester Cathedral also had a choir which had beautiful voices. We also visited Taurus Crafts where we had some lunch. Taurus Crafts has a working pottery, Creative activities, a wholefood Cafe and art studios and workshops.
