Roll up to Trafalgar Square this Wednesday evening
for the second installment of five Wednesday evening performances
happening as those last summer evenings gradually fade away. Tomorrow
night is Circus on the Square. Read on for the remaining programme…
Circus on the Square
Wednesday 12 September 2001
4.30pm - dusk
Forget the big top, roll up to Trafalgar Square for one evening
only of the best of contemporary circus. The Velayev Family from
Azerbaijan will defy gravity five metres above your head, whilst
British circus performers the Heir of Insanity perform on the trapeze.
Back on the ground will be the excellent juggling of John Teesdale.
Udichi
Wednesday 19th September 2001
6-8.30pm
The East End based Bangladeshi arts and cultural organisation Udichi
Shilpi Gosthi will bring some of Bangladesh's top performers to
the Square, including the singers Gopal Das and Kangalini Sufia.
Classical and folk dancing, tabla, sitar, flute, dhul and tanpura
will give a taste of the vibrancy of Brick Lane's Bangladeshi community
right in the heart of London.
Trafalgar Beats
Wednesday 26th September 2001 6-9pm
The square will resound to rhythm in every shape and form. Sister
India, a collective of performers led by cutting edge DJ Ritu will
cross the boundaries between eastern and western music traditions.
Toe-tapping rhythm will emanate from leading tap-dancers Tobias
Tak and Junior Laniyan. A Latin flavour will be lent to the proceedings
by the Samba rhythms of Inner Sense, and the fantastic drumming
of the Dhol Foundation will be accompanied by the 4 x 4 dancers.
Trafalgar Voices
Wednesday 3rd October 2001 6:30-9pm
A celebration of Londoners, this event will showcase the talents
of amateur and professional performers from all over London. The
finale will draw together several community choirs, each performing
their favourite songs before the massed voices join together for
a specially commissioned work by acclaimed singer-songwriter Brenda
Rattray. Avanti Display will transform the fountains of Trafalgar
Square in a way that has never been seen before.
