Bharatanatyam is one of the oldest classical dance forms of India, with a history spanning over 2,000 years. Originating in Tamil Nadu, this art form seamlessly blends movement, expression, and rhythm into a unique practice that nurtures both body and mind. Known for its grace and precision, Bharatanatyam is a comprehensive dance style that integrates key elements for a holistic experience.
Where the name Jericho comes from?
The name Jericho is probably taken from the parable of the Good Samaritan. Traditionally the name was given to places where travellers who arrived after the town gates had closed at sunset could find lodgings overnight.
The history of the Phoenix?
There has been a cinema here since 1913. Orginally it the 'North Oxford Kinema', since when it has passed through many hands and names, including the Scala, the New Scala, the Studios 1 and 2, Studio X (a club showing soft porn) and finally in 1977 the Phoenix.
