2025 CREATIVE LEARNING PROGRAMME

Our 2025 Déjà Vu programme will feature four Ask the Artist sessions with commissioned visual artists Emii Alrai, Mac Collins, Raheel Khan and Richard Dean Hughes.

Backstage Pass sessions with The Colin Currie Group, Eve Stainton, Sheku Kanneh-Mason & Saeunn Thorsteindottír and The Moog Lab will provide one-of-kind experiences with contemporary artists working across the disciplines of live performance.

We invite audiences to Public Rehearsals of Sergei Rachmaninoff: The Complete Piano Concertos by Jeneba Kanneh-Mason, Ryan Wang, Junyan Chen & Boris Giltburg and The Goldberg Variations by Jean Rondeau. With fully subsidised Community Tickets allocated for all live events for local community partners in Southwark.

Come and Sing sessions for local residents and community groups will culminate in participation in The Bold Chorus performance with Oliver Leith.

Echoes of, a series of activations that centre and amplify the voices of the next generation, will reflect on the legacies of Edward Said, J Dilla, Susan Sontag and MF Doom.

We will deliver our third year of Creative Partnership with The Nest for a summer-long season of creative and wellbeing programme for local young people.

Creative Workshops and Artwork Tours take place throughout the season, alongside Community Coffee Mornings

This year we are piloting an Educators Curator Tour & Recce, offering insight into the art works content and site before bringing a group.

Echoes Of: carves out space for the new generation, to respond to and activate the work of iconic cultural figures featured in our Live Events programme.

It’s a fantastic opportunity for us to work with local community groups and organisations as well as world-class musicians and artists that enhance the cultural capital of our students exposing them to new music and ideas that they wouldn’t otherwise experience. For our students it also allows them to see people who look like them and represent them in creative fields.

It was more than just a cultural outing; it was a lively testament to music’s power as a universal language. For neurodiverse individuals and all of us, it was a joyful reminder of how music can connect, communicate, and inspire us all.

I learnt that art comes in all different shapes and sizes and that there isn’t such a thing as good or bad art. Art doesn’t have to be something you can see clearly. It can be the way you interpret it.

Rarely do students and teachers have the privilege of collaborating with artists of Jeremy Deller’s calibre. Thanks to the tireless efforts of Bold Tendencies and the invaluable contributions of Misty in her role as the Creative Learning Producer, the Art students I teach were granted an extraordinary opportunity. The impact of this project, though executed within a brief timeframe, has been profound and enduring. The students’ encounters with Jeremy Deller and the resulting discussions have ignited a newfound passion for the visual arts, a career path previously foreign to them. We are immensely grateful for the transformative experience of working with Bold Tendencies.

Usually, I am very apprehensive about attending events like this due to the fact I never feel they engage with both parents and young people equally. I was pleasantly surprised, as i found that both parents and young people including myself and my daughter were actively involved in the conversation and able to ask questions and take part in activities throughout.
