More Than Honey
Milton Keynes Friends of the Earth and The Co-operative
Membership supported a screening of More Than Honey, a new documentary
by Oscar-nominated Markus Imhoof, in support of the Plan Bee and Bee Cause
campaigns.
The multi-award winning film told a provocative yet touching tale of what might happen if our bees became extinct. It had taken an in-depth look at honeybee colonies, examining what’s behind the current bee crisis and why we rely on bees for so many things. “…filled with gorgeous cinematography and fascinating details about bees’ complex behaviour and anatomy” Washington Post.
The screening at The Chrysalis Theatre, Milton Keynes which was on Sunday 3rd November was supported by Milton Keynes Friends of the Earth as part of The Bee Cause campaign and by The Co-operative Membership as part of the Plan Bee campaign; both helping to save Britain’s bees.

Into the Woods
Into the Woods was written by Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine in 1986 and was first staged in San Diego. It was performed at the Chrysalis Theater from 23rd to 26th October by Company MK. For over 20 years, Company MK have been producing top quality productions and Into the Woods was no exception.
Cinderella, Jack, Little Red Ridinghood and Rapunzel wish for a lot of things – riches, freedom, festivals… and cake! Each of them gets what they deserve, but in the end, will that be good or bad?

Harvest Meal
Residents and co-workers celebrated a harvest festival and supper in the hall of the Chrysalis Theatre at Camphill Milton Keynes on Saturday 5th October. A harvest festival is an annual celebration which occurs around the time of the main harvest of a given region. We sung some harvest songs in the hall before the meal was served.
Hanne Drexel did a performance on the lyre with some residents and there was also some eurhythmy performed by Joan Harris.

What Men Live By
Michaelmas , September 29th, has for centuries
been celebrated by various cultures at the time of moving into shorter days and
longer nights. Metaphorically, it is a
time to recognise we each have our own inner ‘demons’ of fear, anger, insecurity,
jealousy, greed, etc. which we are challenged to face daily.
‘What Men Live By’ is a short story written by Russian author Leo Tolstoy in 1885.
This play was chosen as theme to celebrate the Divine in the Human Spirit which helps us face these challenges. Purposely the cast has been drawn from individuals across the Community – residents, senior co-workers, managers and a Trustee of CMKC – as we work on strengthening our Camphil Community.
The cast of the play were:
Voice of God Luke Wiseman
Michael Miguel Werneck
Simon Jeremy Cooper
Matrena Hanne Drexel
Market Woman Alison Faulkner
Peasant #1 Thomas Craven
Sheepskin Seller Lee Surridge
Peasant #2 Freddy Peeters
Vodka Seller David Peddie
Nobleman Terry Wilkinson
Servant Stuart Andrews
Angel of Death Luke Wiseman
Mother Tamsin Abram
Narrator for Mother Shirley Owens
Narrator Joan Harris
Co-Directors Joan Harris and Jeremy Cooper
Lighting and Sound Michael Waddell
