Month: December 2017

Needed: your knowledge of Tower Hamlets!

Mobile Incitement is a new project run by local theatre company Daedalus and folk musicians The Black Smock Band. Combining live music, songs, performance and visual art, we explore the history of protest and our desire for change.

Over 60? Living in or closely linked to Tower Hamlets? Interested in history, protest, theatre or folk music? We want to hear from you! 

We are currently working with students from Queen Mary University of London to test out some ideas and create a special Tower Hamlets version of the piece. Anti-racism or anti-fascist protests, housing issues, protecting LGBT spaces, preserving our green spaces…. or simply surviving the everyday challenges of this much-loved but complex and sometimes divided borough. There’s a lot to talk about.

We need people with a few decades’ experience of life in the borough to join us* to volunteer their knowledge and help shape the project.

*Tea included! 

Please register your interest now with the form below.

DATES: Thursday 1st, 8th and 15th February

TIMES: 2:30-4:30pm

LOCATION: Queen Mary University, Mile End Road, London E1 4NS

Ideally you’d come to all three sessions but even if you can only make one or two we’d love to hear from you.

A Season of Bangla Drama – photos

We’re so pleased to have been a part of this year’s A Season of Bangla Drama. It was a fantastic month and, as ever, proved that art can be open and inclusive at the same time as being ambitious.

Here are some photos by Rehan Jamil of our East storytelling performance at Rich Mix London, which we produced in association with BSK.

You can see the whole album of photos from the rest of the season here.
