Deptford Winter Festival Day

Giffin Square, Giffin St, Deptford, SE8 4RJ

Thursday 2 December 2021

4pm-8pm

For the final Circulate event of the year, we’re running a spectacular free festival day in Giffin Square in Deptford on Thursday 2 December with The Albany. Featuring three outstanding acts, it promises to engage, entertain and inspire from the very youngest to the oldest. So wrap up warm and join us in Deptford on Thursday afternoon for some wintery outdoor fun.

Whispered Tales - Distant Drums

4pm-8pm

Distant Drums is a dynamic and thought-provoking performance that tells the story of Reggae Sound System culture and its role in the fight for racial equality. A handcrafted bespoke sound system stands proudly on a statue plinth. As the speakers power up, digital screens appear within the stack and through animated films transport the audience from Africa to the Caribbean and finally to the shores of the UK. Written by Madu Messenger, narrated by Macka B, choreographed by Donald Edwards with a distinctive Dub soundtrack by Vibronics, Distant Drums promises to be an exhilarating performance not to be missed.

Gandini Juggling - Glow Walkabouts

4.30pm, 5.30pm, 6.30pm

Gandini Juggling’s Glow routines are a magical marriage of the most advanced light technology available and virtuoso juggling. Watch as the colours of the clubs pulsate, jumping and fading in and out of mesmerising colour palettes, while the jugglers perform astounding juggling patterns. Formed in 1992 by world-renowned jugglers Sean Gandini and Kati Ylä-Hokkala, Gandini Juggling continues to be at the vanguard of contemporary circus, reinventing and reinvigorating juggling for the 21st century.

Emergency Exit Arts - Recovery Poems

4pm-8pm

How do we commemorate what’s been lost as we start to take tentative steps to coming out of lockdown? What do we want to hold onto and grow? What positive changes can we make to society and the natural environment as we recover from the pandemic? Through talking and listening to communities, artists Robert Montgomery and Deanna Rodger have created an inspiring light poem that is visiting public spaces all over the UK.

No need to book, just turn up and enjoy!

Luke Jerram presents Gaia

Gaia at Bluedot, 2018 (1).jpg

Bell Square, Hounslow High Street

Saturday 19 September 2020

10am - 9pm

Gaia is a touring artwork by UK artist Luke Jerram. Measuring seven metres in diameter, Gaia features 120dpi detailed NASA imagery of the Earth’s surface*. The artwork provides the opportunity to see our planet on this scale, floating in three- dimensions.

Gaia, 2019. Hsinchu New Year Festival, Taiwan (2).jpg

The installation creates a sense of the Overview Effect, which was first described by author Frank White in 1987. Common features of the experience for astronauts are a feeling of awe for the planet, a profound understanding of the interconnection of all life, and a renewed sense of responsibility for taking care of the environment.

The artwork also acts as a mirror to major events in society. In light of the current COVID-19 pandemic, the artwork may provide the viewer with a new perspective of our place on the planet; a sense that societies of the Earth are all interconnected and that we have a responsibility toward one another. After the lockdown, there has been a renewed respect for nature.

A specially made surround sound composition by BAFTA award winning Composer Dan Jones is played alongside the sculpture. In Greek Mythology Gaia is the personification of the Earth.

Gaia has been created in partnership with the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC),  Bluedot  and the UK Association for Science and Discovery Centres.

*The imagery for the artwork has been compiled from Visible Earth series, NASA.

Luke Jerram’s multidisciplinary practice involves the creation of sculptures, installations and live arts projects. Living in the UK but working internationally since 1997, Jerram has created a number of extraordinary art projects which have excited and inspired people around the globe. Jerram has a set of different narratives that make up his practice which are developing in parallel with one another. He is known worldwide for his large scale public artworks. Visit the Gaia website.

The event will be carefully managed by our stewards to be Covid-secure and socially distanced.

Featuring in the Enjoy Enfield Summer Festival, Millfield Theatre as part of Circulate London 2020 are delighted to announce Museum of the Moon – an installation by UK artist Luke Jerram on Thursday 20th August at Library Green, Enfield.

Measuring seven metres in diameter, the moon features 120dpi detailed NASA imagery of the lunar surface. At an approximate scale of 1:500,000, each centimetre of the internally lit spherical sculpture represents 5km of the moon’s surface.

Over its lifetime, the Museum of the Moon will be presented in a number of different ways both indoors and outdoors, so altering the experience and interpretation of the artwork. As it travels from place to place, it will gather new musical compositions and an ongoing collection of personal responses, stories and mythologies, as well as highlighting the latest moon science.

The installation is a fusion of lunar imagery, moonlight and surround sound composition created by BAFTA and Ivor Novello award winning composer Dan Jones.

Luke Jerram’s multidisciplinary practice involves the creation of sculptures, installations and live arts projects. Living in the UK but working internationally for 19 years, Jerram has created a number of extraordinary art projects which have excited and inspired people around the globe.

Are they council workers or is it a piece of performance art? What began as a game now is starting to look a bit precarious. Where have they gone? Now what do we do?.............

Full Circle is a mischievous and experimental show from Avanti Display, that plays with the complicity between audience and performer. A slow and intriguing performance, the show builds gently through to suspense, hilarity and unforeseeable consequences. Just how many buckets do they need? Now it’s starting to look a bit precarious.

Hayes Outdoor is an exciting outdoor arts festival which brings top-quality free outdoor performances to the heart of Hayes. Launched in 2018, and featuring everything from circus to dance to music, the shows aim to delight and inspire people whether they’re 4 or 84.

This year, we’re running a spectacular FREE festival day on Botwell Green on Sunday 11 August. Featuring three outstanding acts, it promises to engage, entertain and inspire from the very youngest to the oldest!

Southpaw Dance Company- Icarus

Ofir Yudilevitch- Gravitas

Gravity is one of the most basic and powerful forces in nature. It acts upon us and upon every physical object in the same way. This force defines the language we use in everyday life: Up-down, light-heavy, high art- low art, life- death. Gravity doesn’t care if we land or crash, it will remain the same. We take a moment to play with it. We become pure mass and try to surrender to its blind will.

Gravitas is a two man duet combining contemporary dance and acrobatics performed on an air floor mat. The piece questions ideas of manhood and boyhood; the two performers play recklessly with each other and the audience, trying to regain a sense of fearlessness that is usually lost in childhood.

Avanti Display- Full Circle

For a moment I stopped to listen, to watch, and the world around me kept on going. How can I find what I lost during these moments? The more I accelerate, the later I arrive, as if a strange force conspired against my presence in the time of others.

And you? What are you looking at?

Conseqüències is an ironic and joyful work on the possibility of being out of step, late, off the mark, and on the resulting consequences.

Saturday 29 September 2018

5.30pm

D-Construction is a very fun and energetic hip-hop dance performance with an infectious beat.

In the middle of the space a huge and striking metal structure creates a playground, prison and place of expression. It protects and exposes. It holds and releases at the same time. It is a place of confrontation and inspiration. It connects, inspires and destroys to create something new.

Six dancers experience the liberation of the mind through movement. Merging into a group, they create a stronger entity; breaking apart, they assert their uniqueness. They interact with the metal scaffolding as it cages, protects and frees them at the very same time.

Ockham's Razor presents Belly of the Whale

  

  

Bell Square, Hounslow High Street, Hounslow, London TW3 3HH 

Saturday 8 September 2018

3pm

Hounslow residents - tell us what you think and get £20. The Bell Square programme wants to hear from local people about their views of Belly of the Whale. You need to be 16 or over, be happy to receive some information about the show in advance, able to watch the performance at 3pm on 8 September and then come to an informal discussion group at Hounslow Arts Centre the next day at 3pm. Expenses of £20 each available for everyone who watches the show and comes to the discussion. If you would like to take part contact sarah@sarahboilingassociates for more details.

Circulate Resident Artists Ockham’s Razor present their exciting first show made specifically for outdoors.

The performers, like surfers on a wild sea, ride a giant semi-circular see-saw made of wood and steel which creaks and groans as it transforms from a catapult, a gently rocking cradle, a tunnel, a slide - creating an ever-changing land and soundscape. 

The concept of the belly of the whale is found in mythology around the world - what happens when we confront our fears and come face to face with the power and momentum of things we seemingly can’t change? 

"there's something magical about Ockham's Razor" Evening Standard

“Britain’s most innovative aerial theatre group” Total Theatre 

“Ockham's Razor is a hugely promising young aerial company who don't just have superb circus skills, but also highly creative brains.” The Guardian 

Read Bell Square's Blog about Belly of the Whale

Ockham’s Razor are supported by Arts Council England.
Belly of the Whale is commissioned by Without Walls, Stockton International Riverside Festival, Greenwich + Docklands International Festival, Out There International Festival of Circus & Street Arts, Norfolk & Norwich Festival, Salisbury International Arts Festival, Circulate and Stratford Circus Arts Centre.

Enfield, Hounslow and Deptford will host 3 fantastic free performances at local venues. A vibrant programme of music, theatre, art and dance will celebrate diversity in the creative arts, making sure that everyone can enjoy the action!

 

Event Line Up:

Graeae, the UK’s leading Deaf and disability theatre company, will stage its classic adaptation of ‘The Iron Man’ by Ted Hughes, featuring a puppet as tall as a double decker bus. Ted Hughes' famous children's story is adapted by Paul Sirett and directed by Amit Sharma.

Candoco, a company of disabled and non-disabled dancers, will perform ‘Dedicated To...’. Caroline Bowditch's moving new duet celebrates female strength, friendships and support, exploring how people come in and out of our lives and how friendships shape who we are. 

Deaf Rave, founded by Troi Lee in 2003 as a quarterly event in London for deaf clubbers, will present several DJ sets, creating a kaleidoscope of sound for all to enjoy!

They are presumed to be extinct, but the biggest beasts that ever walked the earth return to the 21st century.

Make sure you jump swiftly out of the way as with a deafening roar the Saurus charge through the crowds, looking for food.

Breathe a sigh of relief as the Saurus start eating plant life. Ah vegetarians!

Saurus is a larger-than-life spectacle combining theatre, stilts, music, fire, dance, metal constructions and aerial objects amongst the audience.

Cie Dyptik presents D-Construction

Outside Enfield Town Library, 66 Church Street, Enfield, London EN2 6AX

Tuesday 21 August 2018

1pm & 3.30pm

D-Construction is a very fun and energetic hip-hop dance performance with an infectious beat.

In the middle of the space a huge and striking metal structure creates a playground, prison and place of expression. It protects and exposes. It holds and releases at the same time. It is a place of confrontation and inspiration. It connects, inspires and destroys to create something new.

Six dancers experience the liberation of the mind through movement. Merging into a group, they create a stronger entity; breaking apart, they assert their uniqueness. They interact with the metal scaffolding as it cages, protects and frees them at the very same time.
