Tangram
Tangram is an artist collective specialising in multidisciplinary and cross-cultural productions. They are Associate Artists with the London Symphony Orchestra at LSO St Luke’s, where they have been praised for their “highly imaginative presentations” (I CARE IF YOU LISTEN), “deep-rooted originality” (Morning Star), and “intoxicating overall mood of poetry, restraint and elegance” (The Stage). Tangram projects have ranged from collaborations with Chinese sword dance and Chinese opera masters, programmes of music made for stones, ice blocks and plastic bags, and performances with live action painting and audience participation. Through their projects, they actively invite curiosity and dialogue across cultures, disciplines and communities.
Camden Chinese Community Centre
Camden Chinese Community Centre was established in 1981. They are a thriving Camden-based organisation that provides services of the highest quality primarily for members of the Chinese community irrespective of age or gender, but not exclusively to those of Chinese origin. They provide socially inclusive services that improve the conditions of life for inhabitants of Camden and people of surrounding boroughs who need support owing to age, disability, poverty, social and financial circumstances, and educate through the study of Chinese arts, culture and history. They aim to provide such services through a mixture of centre-based social welfare, recreational and leisure activities, outreach work, and collaborative work with our partners and the wider community. They currently have over 1100 members.
