Hailed as ​ “one of the most thoughtful and sensitive of British pianists” (The Times), Mishka captivates audiences with her refined and expressive playing. Her wide repertoire focuses on Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, and Schumann, whilst reaching back to Gibbons and Rameau. Committed to performing new music, Mishka premiered An Inviting Object by Héloïse Werner at the Lucerne Summer Festival in 2022.
Highlights of the 2023/24 season include debuts with London Philharmonic Orchestra performing Clara Schumann’s Piano Concerto, and Mannheim Chamber Orchestra performing Mozart’s Piano Concerto No.9 and Haydn’s Piano Concerto No.4. Notable orchestral engagements to date include City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, Deutsche Kammerakademie Neuss, and Britten Sinfonia. Mishka’s debut solo recording, Variations, was released in October 2019 , featuring works by Robert and Clara Schumann, Brahms and Mendelssohn. She was The Times Arts critics’ chosen nominee in the field of classical music for their 2021 Breakthrough Award, and in 2024 she recorded to great acclaim a solo album for Hyperion, Reformation, featuring music by English composers of the Elizabethan age.

Catherina Lee (violin)
Catherina is one of the most gifted and promising violinists to have emerged from Queensland, Australia. She is described as possessing exceptional musicianship with a unique charm, poignancy, and sensitivity that place her in a league of her own. Catherina gave her first public recital at 9, debuting with the Queensland Symphony Orchestra at 13, performing Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto. At 15 she was accepted into the class of Gerhard Schulz, at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Vienna.

Jamie Cochrane

With playing of ‘great clarity’ and ‘surprising strength for one so young’, Jamie Cochrane enjoys a varied musical career, ranging from concerto soloist to collaborative pianist. He is keen to bring music to a wide audience, programming less widely-performed works alongside audience favourites. Winner of the 2024 Norah Sande Award, Jamie has performed internationally, including venues such as the Royal Albert Hall and the Sheldonian Theatre, Oxford, and recent performances have included Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 3 with the Colchester Symphony Orchestra and Bernstein’s The Age of Anxiety with the de Havilland Philharmonic Orchestra. He has also been fortunate to receive lessons and masterclasses from pianists such as Steven Osborne, Yevgeny Sudbin and Tom Poster, amongst others.
From 2019 to 2022, Jamie was the pianist in the Oxford-based, contemporary music group Ensemble ISIS, where he had the opportunity to work with composers Shirley Thompson and Cheryl Frances-Hoad, amongst others, as well as collaborate with and perform works by student composers. During this time, the ensemble was also involved in a recording project in connection with the Royal Shakespeare Company. Chamber music continues to be important to Jamie, and recent performances include the Brahms Horn Trio and Rachmaninoff’s Suite No. 2 for two pianos.
After being crowned Essex Young Musician of the Year in 2018, Jamie went on to study at Merton College, Oxford, where he was awarded both instrumental and academic scholarships. Having graduated with a first-class degree, he went on to hold the position of Graduate Musician in Residence from 2022-23 at St. Hilda’s College, Oxford, whilst continuing his studies in London. Jamie has just finished his Master’s degree at the Royal Academy of Music with William Fong and Michael Dussek, where he was also awarded a DipRAM for outstanding performance in a postgraduate final recital. He is generously supported by the Wayne Sleep Foundation, Robert Turnbull Piano Foundation and the Cullis Bursary Fund.

**********
Enter the space in sacred silence from 7.20pm and join us in meditation.
At 7.30pm, sitting in circle, you’ll be guided through a short centring practice, with an invitation to scan the body, emotions and mind. This practice is an oppportunity to bring more presence to your experience and to connect more deeply with your self and your heart.
As we move into our cacao ceremony, we pass our Guatemalan cacao around the circle with love, before practicing gratitude and setting intentions together.
We’ll begin our movement journey together with a little guidance to warm up. The invitation is to disconnect the mind and connect with the body freely, without self-judgement or fearing judgement from others. Movement is conscious, intuitive and spontaneous as you allow the vibrations of the sound to resonate in whichever way feels right for you. Each dance journey is different, with the music an eclectic mix of different genres. You’ll be invited to be curious with your exploration of your body and movements, to bring moment by moment awareness to what’s moving through you.
The evening will close with a sound bath with didgeridoo, handpan, shruti and vocals, a short closing circle with fruit, and some optional time to socialise.

This is an over 16’s, safe, respectfully alcohol and drug free environment. We move/dance barefoot or with grip socks. Photos/videos may be taken during the event. Come and join our friendly, growing community!

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY:
‘What an experience, mind blowing, loved every minute of it!’
‘That was the best experience of my life! To feel no judgement in a room full of people!’
‘How does ecstatic dance feel? Like you are truly in your own world, letting your body take in and respond to wonderful music….to really FEEL the music and what that brings up in your body. ‘
‘Alison incorporates a few questions and prompts which guide you to really be in the moment and let go further. As a newbie to this type of dance, I’ve tried it a handful of times and am completely hooked. I had never danced before and was very self-conscious at first, I’m overjoyed at how liberating and natural this feels and it is now one of my core activities for self -and soul nourishment!’
‘Your voice was incredible! Added another dimension to the journey. Such a beautiful experience.’

CACAO: Contraindications: Ceremonial Cacao is not recommended for anyone in the first trimester of pregnancy, with a serious heart condition, epilepsy or taking antidepressants. If you would like to still attend and take a much lower dose, you can do so at your own risk. Our Cacao is First Grade Ceremonial Cacao from Guatemala.
Cacao is a powerful plant medicine that contains iron, zinc, potassium, copper, and magnesium which contribute to cardiovascular health. It is said to have benefits for depression as it contains anandamide, the bliss molecule and has the ability to trigger the release of dopamine and endorphins and increase serotonin. Cacao also has powerful antioxidants and can balance blood sugar levels by increasing the blood flow to the brain. This helps with focus and awareness. Cacao also has spiritual and emotional benefits and can help us to connect with our higher self, tune in to our intuition and access transformational states.

ABOUT:
Alison – Just BE Sound and Movement Therapy is run by Alison Heaslewood who qualified in Sound and Movement Therapy with the British Academy of Sound Therapy. She is also the founder of Ecstatic Dance Berkshire.
Following a five year episode of chronic pain in her twenties and a diagnosis of fibromyalgia, she turned to alternative methods of healing, including Sound Therapy. Along with sound, movement was instrumental in her full recovery. She has been supported on her spiritual path by cacao, meditation and connecting to nature, and has been continually called to explore deep practices of surrender and awareness.
With five years vocal training she has discovered the power of the voice to heal and brings soothing vocals into her sound sessions along with other percussion.
She creates nurturing, relaxing and safely held spaces for anyone seeking a space to Just BE.

David is a key member of the Ecstatic Dance Berkshire Team. His deep connection with Earth energies and sound has most recently led him to hold sacred sound baths in West Kennet Long Barrow. A talented musician, he plays didgeridoo, handpan, drum and bowls, and often plays during or after Ecstatic Dances. In particular, his didgeridoo playing has been well received by the dance community, as the vibrations bring new depths to the journeys and create space for deep healing. He also leads meditations, walks and teaches dowsing.
