David Copperfield
Southwold on the Suffolk coast is now the headquarters of a film company making a new version of the Dickens classic for the centenary of the author's death next year. Frederick Brogger is the producer and Delbert Mann the director. Between bursts of sunshine and rain they and some of the stars - Susan Hampshire, Nicholas Pennell, Corin Redgrave, and Robin Phillips who plays the title role-talk about bringing David Copperfield into 1970.

'A Single-Handed British Avant-Garde'
So spoke one critic of Geoff Moore, twenty-three, ex-art student, stage manager, choreographer, and creator of Moving Being-one of the most promising experimental dance groups in Britain. They have been performing this week at the I.C.A. in London. Their work is startling, strange, full of humour and irony as well as pathos; a mixture of speech and movement, films, projections, music and silence. They are a young group with young ideas, but in the broadest sense, as the name implies, they are concerned with everyone's experience of being alive.
