Our 2024 COMMUNION programme will feature four Ask the Artist sessions with commissioned visual artists Olu Ogunnaike, Saelia Aparicio, Adam Farah-Saad and Martin Parr.
Backstage Pass sessions with National Youth Dance Company, Mediterranean Youth Orchestra, National Youth Jazz Orchestra, Kadiatu Kanneh-Mason, Julia Bullock and Bretton Brown will provide one-of-kind experiences with contemporary artists working across the disciplines of live performance.
We invite audiences to a large-scale performance by The Philharmonia Orchestra in a relaxed atmosphere and informal performance setting of a Public Rehearsal. 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 Festival Voices.
Echoes of Baldwin, a series of activations that centre and amplify the voices of the next generation, will reflect on James Baldwin’s 100 year legacy.
We kick off our Artist Placements with alumni artist Harold Offeh at Elim House, exploring the practice of puppet making as a tool for story telling. And our Creative Partnership with The Nest continues for a second summer-long season of creative collaboration and programming for local young people.
Creative Workshops and Artwork Tours take place throughout the season, and this year are joined by two Community Coffee Mornings on:
- Wednesday 5 June, 11am – 1pm
