Kazzum – A Young People Theatre Company

From Kazzum:

Hello!

We are from a charity called Kazzum – a young people theatre company – based in Tower Hamlets. In the end of January we will have our new show The Girl Who in Spitalfields Market, and we would like to ask for your assistance by promoting and send out information about our show. We hope you would like to help us. Thank you.

Information about The Girl Who….

Location Theatre for 11-16 year olds

Join us on a theatrical walking tour of Spitalfields, east London, that takes an unexpected turn… Two different worlds collide as you discover secret buildings, explore sensory installations, and meet strange characters as the performance unfolds. So if you have over-indulge over the festive season is our fantastic new show The Girl Who… just the thing for the post-Christmas slump. You can burn off all those extra calories by joining us on a fast-paced promenade performance around the streets, markets and old buildings of Spitalfields!

Inspired by Kazzum’s work with young refugees in London, The Girl Who…explores themes of belonging, memory and conformity, placing the audience in the driving seat for a 90 minute immersive and interactive adventure.
The Girl Who… explores the problem of how we can exist in a world when we don’t feel a part of it.

Performance dates: Mon 30 January to Fri 10 February 2012 (Mon-Fri only).
Performances times: 10.30 and 13.30 at Spitalfields Market
Over half of the shows are completely sold out, so be quick and click http://www.wegottickets.com/f/3061 to book yours now! For group bookings or further information, please contact 020 77491123 or emily@kazzum.org

About Kazzum

Kazzum (pronounced ka-ZOOM) is a theatre company dedicated to producing fresh, relevant theatrical experiences for young audiences up to the age of 16. We put on a wide range of very different shows and spectacles with one thing in common – we want to entertain our audiences, and at the same time inspire them and fire their imaginations.
Kazzum’s performances do not fit the classic idea of “children’s theatre”. We offer young audiences fully-fledged “grown-up” theatre that deals with complex ideas and mature themes, produced in a way that is accessible without being simplistic. Our work doesn’t set out to explore issues but, like all good theatre, it is intended to make the audience think.
We produce outdoor family shows for children up to the age of eight, and more grown-up site specific shows for young people aged ten and upwards. For over twenty years we have been engaging and stimulating young people with work that we hope will create a lasting love of theatre and an understanding of its value.

We hope to see you soon,

Best wishes from Kazzum

Public Life License Review

Message from Matt Piper – forwarded by the Spitalfields Society

Sent: 04 January 2012 22:55

Subject: Public Life licence review

As you may have heard there have been developments concerning Public Life recently. There was a large police raid a week before Christmas during which a significant quantity of drugs were found and several people arrested including, I believe, some members of staff. The police then applied for, and obtained, an immediate suspension of their licence pending a full review. This review has been combined with the one that several local residents recently called and in support of which many local people signed a petition.

The review is due to take place at 2pm on Monday 16th January at LBTH offices at Mulberry Place, E14. The more people that attend, the better will be the chances of getting their licence permanently revoked. There will certainly be a group of residents attending from our end of Fournier Street but it would really help if other local people could attend too.  There will probably be some space in cars if people need transport and if not, there will be a group travelling on public transport which anyone is welcome to join. If people want more details on this, or the review, they are very welcome to contact me.

Many thanks for your help.

Matt
