Last night CJ Einhorn (celebrity jeweller) and myself were asked to see ‘Sum of Parts’ a one off community project put on by Sadler’s Wells Theatre. May I say we were amazed? It was one of the most powerful and moving performances we have seen for quite a long time. We have been moved, surprised or entertained by several performances lately (Asa at the Barbican) but none as much as this.
It was a series of community dance projects by young people, elder people, people with learning difficulties, people with physical disabilities, all choreographed by different choreographers into one cohesive show. The creative producer Jane Hackett had produced a truly inspirational show. There was animation throughout the show by Betsy Dadd, and Nitin Sawney donated his music.
Sadler’s Wells sponsored the project and all the staging and lighting by them was really imaginative, quite stunning really. At no point during the performance did we, the audience feel that we needed to make ‘allowances’ for what we were seeing, it was professional to the core. Some of the people taking part had never danced before and I believe the cast age was from about 6 years to 90.
Other art forms are more heavily subsidised and have people that can afford to pay upwards of £150 a seat. For my money this is much more worthwhile… it enriches those who take part, and it enriches those who watch, what more can you ask from entertainment? I will get Lord Einhorn’s tights out of the cupboard…

The giving
A heart they have to break
Every piece arrives in a Stephen Einhorn box. For the ones that should be remembered, we wrap the piece in soft cloth and seal it inside a plaster heart, hand painted in the colour you choose. To reach what is inside, they have to crack it open.
Personalised
Engraved by hand
Almost everything we make can be engraved by hand in our workshop: initials on the face of a signet, a date inside a ring, a line only they will understand. Engraved pieces cannot be returned, so if you are unsure of the size, order it plain and we will engrave it afterwards.
