nadiya hussain tour

THE MOST GLAMOROUS DANCE SHOW YET!

SENBLA PRESENTS IN ASSOCIATION WITH  STEVEN HOWARD FOR THE TCB GROUP AND DAVID SHEPHERD 

After the great success of their critically acclaimed debut tour ‘Once Upon A Time’, dance stars Nadiya Bychkova and Kai Widdrington have announced they will be touring the UK again throughout June 2024 with their brand new show ‘Behind The Magic’.

The 25-date tour will begin in Gateshead on 1st June and end in Southampton on 30th June, and includes a date at London’s Peacock Theatre on 23rdJune.

During Nadiya and Kai’s debut tour, the Strictly Come Dancing professionals shared personal stories from their journey through the world of dance; from their childhood memories, competition days, dancing on Strictly and beyond. Combining heartfelt stories with stunning choreography, audiences across the country were given an insight into their respective roads to success and a glimpse into the real life couple’s fairytale romance.

For Behind The Magic, Nadiya and Kai, backed by their incredibly talented cast of singers and dancers, invite audiences back into their world to catch a rare insider’s glimpse into how all ‘the magic’ comes together. 

From TV shows to commercial campaigns, photoshoots to live tours, they will be taking us behind the lens to see things from a very different perspective, highlighting the influence of some of the greatest legends, creatives and artists of the 20th century, whose impact is still felt today among some of the most successful contemporary artists .  

Nadiya said, “I cannot wait for everyone to see our new show. It is so exciting to be able to throw a lifetime of my thoughts, visions and dreams into ‘Behind The Magic’ and to create something unique and inspiring with the most talented and incredible people”.

Kai added, “Starring in ‘Once Upon A Time’, our first headline tour, was the realisation of a lifelong dream for both Nadiya and I, a real career highlight. Now we get the chance to do it all over again next summer with our new show ‘Behind The Magic.’

‘We cannot wait to get back on stage together and entertain our fans once more and to be able bring the curtain down in my hometown of Southampton will be the icing on the cake.”

Nadiya’s American Adventure review – her best trip yet

Despite being piled high with ‘melting pot’ metaphors, this travelogue on the vibrant, immigrant-inspired food culture of the US finds the eminently likable Bake Off winner on top form

T he “melting pot” metaphor for immigration has worked hard in Nadiya’s American Adventure (BBC One), a two-parter hosted by Nadiya Hussain. As the introductory voiceover notes, the US is “home to the highest immigrant population in the world”. Similarly, when Hussain, a hijab-wearing Muslim woman from Luton, won The Great British Bake Off in 2015 it was hailed as a win for British multiculturalism.

Hussain has since established herself as the nation’s sweet-toothed sweetheart with a string of cookery series (Nadiya’s Time to Eat; Nadiya Bakes, Nadiya’s Family Favourites) and some culinary-themed travelogues (Nadiya’s British Food Adventure; Nadiya’s Asian Odyssey). Yet none has showcased her specific combination of guileless charm and British Asian backstory quite so successfully as this one, a food-culture story to which only Nadiya could truly do justice.

As she has travelled around, breaking bread with the people of Louisiana and California, it has become clear that what we are witnessing is not just a talented presenter at work (although surely there is no more wonderfully expressive face on television). Nor is this a simply an example of why increased onscreen diversity is an uncomplicated good. The commonalities that Hussain and her new friends share – being children of immigrants; being anxious parents; being members of a marginalised community – act to level the often uneven interviewer/interviewee dynamic, gifting her (and, vicariously, us) with special insight and access. That awkward outsider shtick can work, of course (see Louis Theroux), as can the authoritative foodie stranger (Anthony Bourdain). But American Adventure triumphs because, instead of trying to squeeze its presenter into a pre-established formula, it plays to her individual strengths.

In the first episode, Hussain connected with the current generation of Acadia-descended Cajuns trying to keep their grandparents’ traditions alive in the bayous. In the second episode’s trip to Los Angeles, where 40% of the population were born outside the US, the immigration experience is much fresher. It is as fresh as the tortilla dough at the Westlake night market, in fact. With local restaurateur Wes Avila as her guide, Hussain samples the poblano chillies and pupusas (stuffed corn tortillas) from El Salvador. She is impressed by the grit and entrepreneurial ingenuity of the vendors, some of whom are cooking on makeshift shopping-trolley grills: “These are women with babies strapped on their backs, saying: ‘I’m here because I need to survive!’”

Later, the cooking smells in Avila’s Guerrilla Tacos kitchen brought back happy childhood memories of helping out at her dad’s Indian restaurant. When Avila’s father tells his tale of leaving behind all he knew to make a courageous border-crossing by crawling through a water drain, Hussain begins to relate it to her own experience: “It made me appreciate the struggles that my dad went through. I’ve always thought about it from my perspective, but never really from the immigrant’s point of view.”

Hussain gets it. That is why she is as welcome pitching in at a family-run fortune cookie factory in San Francisco’s Chinatown as she is serving from a halal taco truck side by side with an imam, or weeping happy tears among the relatives at a Mexican American family’s $25,000 quinceañera. (The elaborate, tiered cake is the slightly tenuous food link here because, as every Latina knows, these coming-of-age dos, which celebrate a girl’s 15th birthday, are really all about the elaborate, tiered dress.)

It is not exactly unusual to see Hussain’s eyes brimming with empathic tears – crying and cakes are “on brand” – but this recognition of what unites us really is moving. Especially because it doesn’t necessitate erasing the differences. Sitting down over bowls of her sweet sharing nachos with an all-female rodeo team, she is surprised and inspired by the pride they take in their Mexican heritage, “because for me, being that age, being British was much more important than being Bangladeshi”.

It is also always a joy to watch Hussain taste new flavours. She is so awe-struck and appreciative that any home cook would be glad to have her at their table. Even if, in her enthusiasm, the two phrases “assault on the senses” and “tastebuds exploding” get overused to the point of parody.

And as for that melting pot? The bowl of warm chicken salad that Hussain throws together in Avila’s restaurant is probably most apropos the kind of community cohesion that American Adventure celebrates: one in which different cultures come together to enhance each other, while retaining the distinctive qualities that make them special.

Nadiya Hussain

The Great British Bake Off winner Nadiya Hussain ( Nadiya's Time to Eat , Nadiya Bakes ) breaks down her journey as a baker— beginning with using an oven only as extra kitchen storage, to baking a birthday cake for the Queen of England. She shares some behind the scenes of what life in the Bake Off tent is really like, and gives some advice from her cookbooks. Then, she unearths which very different looking plants are actually related in a game about culinary botany.

Last year, The Great British Bake Off ’s Nadiya Hussain signed a deal with the BBC to front numerous programmes over the coming years.

The broadcaster revealed Hussain would be making the BBC her “home”, adding she will continue on The One Show while developing "other exciting programme ideas”.

Finally, we have word of what exactly the BBC and Hussain have planned. Her first show - Nadiya's British Food Adventure - will see the baker undertake a road trip around Britain over eight episodes, visiting a different region in each.

Speaking about the show, Hussain said: “Our country's regional cuisine is much more than tried and tested traditional dishes - there are quirky and clever food producers out there who are reinventing British food in unique and exciting ways.

"I can't wait to meet these local food heroes, to find inspiration in the most unusual food stories and unlikely ingredients and then come up with some brand new recipes in the kitchen, adding my own special twist.”

Hussain recently fronted The Chronicles of Nadiya , a show in which she traveled to Bangladesh to trace her culinary roots.

Share All sharing options for: Gagarin Cup Preview: Atlant vs. Salavat Yulaev

Gagarin cup (khl) finals:  atlant moscow oblast vs. salavat yulaev ufa.

Much like the Elitserien Finals, we have a bit of an offense vs. defense match-up in this league Final.  While Ufa let their star top line of Alexander Radulov, Patrick Thoresen and Igor Grigorenko loose on the KHL's Western Conference, Mytischi played a more conservative style, relying on veterans such as former NHLers Jan Bulis, Oleg Petrov, and Jaroslav Obsut.  Just reaching the Finals is a testament to Atlant's disciplined style of play, as they had to knock off much more high profile teams from Yaroslavl and St. Petersburg to do so.  But while they did finish 8th in the league in points, they haven't seen the likes of Ufa, who finished 2nd. 

This series will be a challenge for the underdog, because unlike some of the other KHL teams, Ufa's top players are generally younger and in their prime.  Only Proshkin amongst regular blueliners is over 30, with the work being shared by Kirill Koltsov (28), Andrei Kuteikin (26), Miroslav Blatak (28), Maxim Kondratiev (28) and Dmitri Kalinin (30).  Oleg Tverdovsky hasn't played a lot in the playoffs to date.  Up front, while led by a fairly young top line (24-27), Ufa does have a lot of veterans in support roles:  Vyacheslav Kozlov , Viktor Kozlov , Vladimir Antipov, Sergei Zinovyev and Petr Schastlivy are all over 30.  In fact, the names of all their forwards are familiar to international and NHL fans:  Robert Nilsson , Alexander Svitov, Oleg Saprykin and Jakub Klepis round out the group, all former NHL players.

For Atlant, their veteran roster, with only one of their top six D under the age of 30 (and no top forwards under 30, either), this might be their one shot at a championship.  The team has never won either a Russian Superleague title or the Gagarin Cup, and for players like former NHLer Oleg Petrov, this is probably the last shot at the KHL's top prize.  The team got three extra days rest by winning their Conference Final in six games, and they probably needed to use it.  Atlant does have younger regulars on their roster, but they generally only play a few shifts per game, if that. 

The low event style of game for Atlant probably suits them well, but I don't know how they can manage to keep up against Ufa's speed, skill, and depth.  There is no advantage to be seen in goal, with Erik Ersberg and Konstantin Barulin posting almost identical numbers, and even in terms of recent playoff experience Ufa has them beat.  Luckily for Atlant, Ufa isn't that far away from the Moscow region, so travel shouldn't play a major role. 

I'm predicting that Ufa, winners of the last Superleague title back in 2008, will become the second team to win the Gagarin Cup, and will prevail in five games.  They have a seriously well built team that would honestly compete in the NHL.  They represent the potential of the league, while Atlant represents closer to the reality, as a team full of players who played themselves out of the NHL. 

• Atlant @ Ufa, Friday Apr 8 (3:00 PM CET/10:00 PM EST)
• Atlant @ Ufa, Sunday Apr 10 (1:00 PM CET/8:00 AM EST)
• Ufa @ Atlant, Tuesday Apr 12 (5:30 PM CET/12:30 PM EST)
• Ufa @ Atlant, Thursday Apr 14 (5:30 PM CET/12:30 PM EST)

Games 5-7 are as yet unscheduled, but every second day is the KHL standard, so expect Game 5 to be on Saturday, like an early start. 

The Unique Burial of a Child of Early Scythian Time at the Cemetery of Saryg-Bulun (Tuva)

<< Previous page

Pages:  379-406

In 1988, the Tuvan Archaeological Expedition (led by M. E. Kilunovskaya and V. A. Semenov) discovered a unique burial of the early Iron Age at Saryg-Bulun in Central Tuva. There are two burial mounds of the Aldy-Bel culture dated by 7th century BC. Within the barrows, which adjoined one another, forming a figure-of-eight, there were discovered 7 burials, from which a representative collection of artifacts was recovered. Burial 5 was the most unique, it was found in a coffin made of a larch trunk, with a tightly closed lid. Due to the preservative properties of larch and lack of air access, the coffin contained a well-preserved mummy of a child with an accompanying set of grave goods. The interred individual retained the skin on his face and had a leather headdress painted with red pigment and a coat, sewn from jerboa fur. The coat was belted with a leather belt with bronze ornaments and buckles. Besides that, a leather quiver with arrows with the shafts decorated with painted ornaments, fully preserved battle pick and a bow were buried in the coffin. Unexpectedly, the full-genomic analysis, showed that the individual was female. This fact opens a new aspect in the study of the social history of the Scythian society and perhaps brings us back to the myth of the Amazons, discussed by Herodotus. Of course, this discovery is unique in its preservation for the Scythian culture of Tuva and requires careful study and conservation.
