The Magical & the Playful
The forest becomes a shelter, an accomplice in a physical and spontaneous game. There is no choreography, only intuition. Laureline and Daniela play at not being, they reflect each other, they imitate. They get lost and reappear, blending with the forest’s shadows as if they were part of it. The magical and the playful intertwine in a story that observes movement through the lens of freedom. This editorial offers a free-spirited view of gesture, friendship, and the forest as an imaginary refuge — a return to play as an intimate and powerful act.

Cecil Beaton’s Garden party
Come and join Cecil Beaton’s Garden party! Experienced through black and white photographs, we can still sense the joy of Stephen Tennant and Cecil Beatons Fete Gallant in the gardens of Wilsford. As you gaze at the images you can hear the shrieks of delight and silly insider jokes. Naive by comparison to the contemporary Bal du Transvestites at Magic City the images are infused with “queer delight”, sublimated into Eighteenth Century tableaus bathed in the dappled light of Tenants arcadian garden. A golden time, the wonder and joy was real and it radiates out from the shots…. And so it began, throughout Cecil Beaton's life there is a sense that he not only sought out Arcadia, but he also believed it existed, perhaps finally finding it at Reddish.

The leaves inhale her mystery, and through the whisper of her wings, she disappears into a dark paradise.
