The
Issue
#12
To “Always seek out every seed of triumph in every adversity” is theoretically the greatest inspiration behind this issue and should equally be behind much of how we conduct ourselves. In a society where we have the whole world at our fingertips, chances to travel the world - and a world in which we are told we can “be whatever we want to be”, it can be easy to become complacent - to always feel like we are left wanting more and to miss the reality of the brilliance that lies on our very doorstep. Yet the start of a new year is our gift-wrapped, in your face, time for reflection. People are making resolutions, starting new chapters and looking at their lives through pseudo foreign eyes, so what better time to look at our minor triumphs as opposed to our setbacks? And this is where we come in.
Across these pages lie our homage to these very triumphs, people who have combat their difficulties and have reigned true against adversity.We also look at those people in our city who are making waves in culture, the “ones to watch” for 2014. So, let me leave you with only one resolution, one which we should all embrace, that is to be positive, to drop the self cynicism – if only for a day – and to celebrate your triumphs. Vicky Parry

£1m Grant to Help York SMEs Access Superfast Broadband A new grant scheme aimed at increasing universal business access to faster broadband speeds in York has been launched. Funded through the Government’s ‘Super Connected Cities’ programme and City of York Council, the vouchers will provide assistance of up to £3,000 per business for SMEs seeking faster and better broadband (of at least 30 Mbits) to support them in growing their business.
In business and in everyday life, digital connectivity is increasingly becoming as important as the traditional infrastructure of road and rail. The voucher scheme follows similar moves to trial city centre WiFi and as York looks to grow its digital economy and inclusion on par with the leading cities in the world.York hopes to become the bestconnected city in the UK by the end of 2015. Communications Minister Ed Vaizey said: “The broadband market is moving at an incredible pace. Today, businesses expect and demand faster and faster broadband to compete in the global race. Connection vouchers will be an important tool for cities in helping to address that demand, and Government has now allocated up to £100 million to provide a digital boost to superconnected cities like York”. The Government’s announcement in December 2012 saw York become one of 12 cities across the UK to achieve Super Connected City status.
‘Some of our smaller businesses need support to give them access to faster and better broadband speeds - a key ingredient for business success. Our York voucher scheme will provide this support’ - James Alexander, Leader of the Council

Together in Electric Dreams
York residents are being invited to join forces and save money on their energy bills with a new Council scheme.
2. iChoosr invites energy companies to offer their best prices for energy to everyone in the scheme. 3. Tailored tariff offers are sent to residents by 28 February, including potential savings if they accept.
Fed up of feeling the pinch of rising energy prices? York residents can now do something about it with a free service which is estimated to save you up £200 on your bills per year. City of York Council has partnered with energy switching expert’s iChoosr, to use their collective bargaining power to negotiate better gas and electricity tariffs. Supported by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, York’s Citizens Advice Bureaux and Age UK York - the Save Money by Switching Energy campaign launched in December and the process only takes four simple steps. 1. Register at www.york.gov.uk/switchingenergy before 17 February with a copy of your recent energy bill.
4. It’s then up to you to decide, with no-obligation or fees whatsoever. Similar switching schemes run by other councils have seen yearly savings of between £60 - £200 per household.

To find out more or to register go to www.york.gov.uk/ switchingenergy. If residents do not have access online please visit City of York Council’s customer service centre at West Offices or call 01904 551550.

York to go for UNESCO City of Media Arts status York is bidding to become a UNESCO City of Media Arts and join the global Creative Cities Network. The bid for accreditation, which will be formally submitted in early 2014, is being led by City of York Council in partnership with local business leaders and institutions. UNESCO City of Media Arts status, currently only held by Lyon, would include membership to the Creative Cities Network - a global network of culturally significant centres of excellence across a range of creative fields, including Literature, Design, and Film. It is felt the title would enable York to carry a different message in its marketing, reflective of is effervescent culture and changing economy. Sonja Crisp, City of York Council’s Cabinet Member for Leisure, Culture and Tourism, said:
“We believe York has strong credentials to become the world’s second UNESCO City of Media Arts and it comes at a time when significant investment is going into our creative industries.” “The title also provides an excellent opportunity to boost York’s international reputation as a thriving centre for creative, media and digital production and participation, and would open up exciting new exchanges with other leading creative cities.” “Our bid forms part of a broader vision to put creative industries at the heart of York’s social, economic and cultural development, and the city’s quest to become a leading international city.” The opportunity to apply to become a UNESCO City of Media Arts comes at a time when there is significant investment in the pipeline in the sector in York, including the proposed redevelopment of the Guildhall into a Media Arts Centre (pictured).

RUn this town It’s no secret that York is a beautiful place. A tapestry of history and culture, the city is at once a patchwork of ancient stone and a variety of fashionable and essential locales. What is unquantified, however, is the degree to which our little corner of Yorkshire can be enjoyed via a spot of exercise. For many, the city is a playground on which to run, and run they certainly do. There’s a wealth of differing routes to plan, with many interesting places to visit along the way. I spoke with some locals to find out their insider tips on running in York.
Lizzie Tait loves to run down the river, particularly at 7am, before the sun rises, so she can watch the city wake up. At this time she feels like she is the only person who can witness this, bar other runners she might see, or early-morning dog walkers. Also, Lizzie finds that running along the city walls can be fun, especially if it’s before the tourists have descended, or following the pavements around the city’s stone circuit, as it provides a picturesque round trip. Lizzie’s route is an excellent way to see the city at its best. The city walls, (especially from Bootham Bar to Monkbar), have unrivalled views of the Minster and gardens, and at elevation, offers
a solace from the hubbub of the waking city. As far as tips for group running are concerned, Lizzie recommends Run York and Sweat Equity, who welcome beginners wholeheartedly. Also, the path around the racecourse is just under 5k, which in an excellent start for those just beginning their running career. Sophie Coulombeau believes York to be a brilliant city to be a runner, the only drawback being that in winter it’s necessary to develop an encyclopaedic knowledge of flooding hotspots and alternative routes! Sophie enjoys running along the river, either in a loop eastward via Rowntree Park and Millennium Bridge, or longer westward across Clifton Ings, following the river in the direction of Beningbrough Hall. Training for the Plusnet Yorkshire Marathon, Sophie organised an informal half marathon, starting at the University of York, following the river to the Dawnay Arms in Newton on Ouse. York parkrun is Sophie’s tip for group running; a free, informal Saturday morning timed 5k on the racecourse at 9am, organised by lovely people, which has a great atmosphere with excellent motivation to improve your time on the route. Sophie added that she likes to follow it up with brunch at the Pig & Pastry, which is motivation enough, as far as I’m concerned! Joe Richardson thinks we’re all incredibly lucky to live in such a beautiful city, as it makes for some fantastically scenic routes. He favours riverside
paths to run on, as they are in very good condition, compared to others in the country he’s experienced, and this avoids the chance of rolling an ankle or tripping over. Joe lives in the Bootham area of York, and consequently he finds that if he heads straight down the river towards Millennium Bridge, and then back to Clifton Bridge, it gives hims a nice 10k route. Alternatively, he heads toward the Ings and back down Shipton Road for a softer 5 mile run. Joe also recommends running the Solar System Cycle Path from Tadcaster Road, as it has the advantage of being able to judge your distance, using the distances between the planets as you run past. Joe’s tips for those who are serious about running include getting fitted for a proper pair of trainers that fit your gait. He added that if you plan on running regularly then you risk injury if you just use your old Converse! He also told me that one of the best pieces of advice he can give is to join a running club. Running with a group is much more fun, and will go a long way to keeping you motivated. Most important of all, he says to smile while you run. It’s infectious! As if you needed an excuse to get out into our gorgeous city, these tips should certainly get you to a great start.We are blessed with marvellous scenery and verdant landscape, and it would be a shame to let it go to waste, and you can even reward yourself for all your hard work with a little something in one of our many quality cafes. So go, now. RUN!

16 / The Culturalist Stu and Owen of Anonymous Records brought along their hot recent signing, Luke Lounts aka Girls on Drugs, to speak with us. They see themselves as building up York’s electronic scene by giving it something it previously lacked: a record label.Thinking that guitar music has limited current relevance, possibly with a nod to the current hard times, “electronic music makes people gravitate towards having a great time…
Being social and communal”. “Firmly flying the York flag” and with big plans involving EPs and club nights, they see more widely a “wealth of talent in the city… A real cultural hotbed”. “Its all about people looking up from their desks and seeing other people doing it”. Luke tipped us some wider names to watch, next year such as King No-One and Glass Caves.

Rebecca, Max & Tom, (Rebecca not pictured) are all part of Theatre Mill, whose immersive theatre events had a very strong 2013.With performances of new adaptations of The Importance of Being Earnest at The Mansion House and Sherlock Holmes and The Speckled Band at Treasurer’s House. Rebecca is now looking ahead to the revival of the Wagon Plays in the summer, she feels that a lot of theatrical devel-
opments came out of 2012’s “epic” Mystery Plays. “York people want to see inventive delightful work”, “its a good place to float things we can take elsewhere”. The company is about to announce a “spectacular” new work and with lots of innovative theatre groups in the city they see lots of potential to reach new audiences, create interactive experiences and unite both tourists and locals in the event.

Like all of our predictors, they have a strong DIY ethic and set up Salt+Powell after graduating from York St John University in July. The two girls noticed a gap in the market for artist led collaboraion and that“nobody was doing anything like this in York. “
They see the Tour de France as offering new opportunities for artists, as well as new networks forming to better facilitate new types of projects, including collaborations across the arts and between generations of artists. They hope that this will break down “stereotypes about York” and see the city’s artists “setting trends rather than following them”.

With York set to play host to big events like the Tour de France and the Mystery Plays now is the time to flex your creative muscles and get behind these artist’s projects and projects of dozens of artists like them. That way we really can alter York’s cultural topography.

From the Hacienda to Freakin: House Music IN York Paul Jackson is something of an authority on house music - as a member of regular house night Freakin and co-owner of Earworm Records off Goodramgate he tells us what brought him here and what the future is for house music in York.
I was the perfect age (16) when the house music scene really accelerated. It was 1991 and I was friends with people who’d started to go “clubbing”, people who would venture out of York to nights in Leeds and Manchester to clubs like The Orbit and The Hacienda. I was hooked immediately and my vinyl purchases started to reflect this. Alongside all the indie were also 12”s on dance labels such as Disco Magic, Deconstruction, R&S and Warp.
oneandother.com
Q. What brought you to develop an initial interest in house music?
Q. How long have you been doing Freakin for and what guest people have you had in? Freakin is now into its 17th Year!!! I was recruited by Richard Clark in 2001, the same year he also brought Leo and Patrick into the fold. Rich was having a mini overhaul of Freakin and wanted some likeminded DJs to bolster up the backbone. Over the years as Freakin got busier, we were able to invite more DJ’s to play.We started booking people like Jimpster,Will Saul, Ralph Lawson and Chris Duckenfield, people who inspired us. More recently we’ve had the pleasure of presenting DJs who are at the top of their game in the world of underground house: Andrew Weatherall, Chez Damier, Daniel Avery, Marcus Worgul to name a few. Q. Has the scene evolved since your involvement? The scene is always evolving, fresh music from new artists is constant in both volume and quality. Because I’ve been involved in the scene so long, you also see certain scene’s coming back round again, and this is mainly due to the younger generation missing out the first time. Q. Is there much of a house scene in York? I think the fact Freakin is still going and is busier than ever is surely concrete evidence of a vibrant house scene. The more fashionable a genre is the more chance there is of bigger scene.There are a few other quality house/techno nights in York. Kids come down to Freakin, and then all of a sudden they are putting on their own little parties which is great and it’s reasons like this that keeps us on our toes and keeping on doing what we’re doing. Q. Do you see any artists in the area producing house music?

Yeah of course and for as long as I can remember there always has been. Regarding electronic music, the city has always harboured some amazing talent, from Beaumont Hannant releasing on GPR and Warp to Nigel Rodgers putting out stuff on Bunker and Snuff Trax. There are loads of others and to warrant it we have a York electronic music section at Earworm.

revolution back by popular demand Surviving almost three decades in the computer games industry Charles Cecil has seen his share of upheaval. Here’s how his company, Revolution Software, has triumphed in uncertain times thanks to technological advances.

26 / The Culturalist
‘For Instalment 5 of Broken Sword, I’d love to make a really cool box packed full of wonderful things for people to enjoy with the game!’
“The thing about the kind of games Revolution (Software) produces is that they aren’t so much about beating enemies, or winning the game, they’re more about beating us the designers if anything. In that sense “triumph” is more about the satisfaction of completing the puzzle, seeing it all slot together, than some more visceral kind of victory.” That’s how Charles Cecil, Managing Director of York based Revolution Software, describes “triumphing” when playing his company’s intricately crafted Broken Sword series of intrigue driven point and click adventures.
Written by Josh Allen
We were at Charles’ Blake Street offices, to hear about a recent triumph of his own. Two years ago Revolution Studios was struggling to continue the production of their Broken Sword series of adventure games. Despite Broken Sword’s international fan base, game publishing firms were unwilling to finance the production of traditional, two dimensional, point and click adventures. Previous publisher THQ had made a $4million profit on the game’s most recent installment, however, with $10million invested in the game’s production, none of that money returned to Revolution to finance future installments of the franchise. Yet today, 3 years after what could have been the last Broken Sword, hundreds of thousands of gamers worldwide are enjoying Broken Sword 4, launched on December 4, with Broken Sword 5 out in Janu-
ary. ‘We realised the economics had changed’, says Charles, ‘once there was a set template of how games got funded and produced, now we are able to approach our audience directly and have a relationship with them’. Putting out a call via Kickstarter, Revolution sought funding from their fans to produce new installments of Broken Sword. In a very graphic depiction of how high demand for the game was 15,000 people pledged nearly $800,000, meeting a third of the development costs. Charles told us ‘many of the games most ardent fans were probably teenagers when the first installment came out (in 1996), they probably pirated it! But now they’re willing to pay to support us’. Benefiting from an ongoing stream of revenue from downloads of older versions of the game, and Apple’s “12 Days of Christmas” promotion, ‘which must have got us hundreds of backers and thousands of sales’ Charles feels that Revolution owes its recent triumphs to the democratising effects of the internet. Charles does bemoan the demise of box artwork and merchandise in the age of the internet. ‘For Installment 5, I’d love to make a really cool box packed full of wonderful things for people to enjoy with the game!’. ‘I can’t be the only person who misses that sort of thing?’ Perhaps via crowdfunding, Broken Sword’s fans will be able to oblige?

Pretty Neat, but No Chocolate Box Development in a historic city, especially one as fast growing as York, will always be controversial. We caught up with architect Richard Partington whose plans for the old Terry’s Factory site prove elegantly and intelligently that York can build modernly upon the foundations of the past”
Written by Josh Allen
Since establishing his independent practice in 1998, Richard Partington has earned a reputation for being at the forefront of both the drive for a more sustainable form of construction and the construction of sensitive and thoughtful modern buildings. Richards Partington Architects (RPA) recently unveiled their plans and drawings for the Chocolate Works site, a residential development scheduled to
be built next to the iconic Terry’s buildings, with their striking clock tower, near South Bank and Knavesmire. This adds to a growing portfolio of their work in the city, RPA having worked with the Joseph Rowntree Housing Trust, to deliver their 21st Century “garden village” Derwenthorpe. In a conversation with us Richard outlined to us what RPA hope to achieve with the Chocolate Work’s site as well as talking more generally about the challenges and rewards of working in a city like York at a pivotal moment in its development. “Our starting point was very different from Derwenthorpe”, it was considered “very important” for the new homes to have a strong “geometric” relationship with the 1920s Terry’s factory build-

ings. RPA took especial care to avoid cul-de-sacs, ensuring that the development is layed out more like a small town than most housing developments “providing strong routes around the site”. Their design has been compared to mill towns like Halifax and Shaw… Something perhaps controversial in medieval, genteel York? As the Terry buildings prove,York was once an industrial city, and thus urban. Richard “looked to Scarcroft”, “I wanted it to have a strong urban feel”. The houses are arranged in terraces, but their design, whilst simple, is not industrial. It “draws from houses on The Mount”. Arranged in “strong squares”, the houses are simple and elegant “deliberately quite contemporary” compared to the neo-arts&crafts Derwenthorpe.
“York actually does modern buildings quite well” reckons Richard. He believes that the city is in a similar position to Cambridge around 10 years ago, as that almost equally ancient city, began its explosive growth. He stresses the need for good planning now, having personally cycled the route from the Chocolate Work’s site to the University of York, he declares it “highly legible”.
With the Council, residents groups and developers “fully onboard” and “very helpful” and outline planning permission granted, Derwenthorpe should soon boast a sharper, edgier, but equally elegant and welcoming, twin.

In an interesting juxtaposition, the site shall be flanked by a large apartment block. Its ground floors initially home to the housing developer’s showrooms, it’ll then become a supermarket. On sunny days the windows shall “shimer the same colour as the classic Terry’s logo”.
As a sustainable architect, Richard’s technique is to build well, minimising heat loss, as opposed to packing in technology. Technology that might soon become obsolete, especially ‘given the continued uncertainty regarding the decarbonisation of the (National) Grid”.

Film Special 2013 was the year that filmmaking in York made great strides from a small but prominent scene into something that could truly develop into a thriving industry in 2014 and beyond.
BBC to San Quentin: Kim Hopkins on ‘The Year That Was’
With International sales deals, trips to Cannes, Raindance and Comic Con and airings on the BBC, it has been a big year of change and excitement for the filmmakers of York.
Written by Kim Hopkins
We ask some of York film industry’s main players - documentary filmmaker Kim Hopkins, writer/director Miles Watts, web series creator Jamie McKeller and producer Steve Piper - to give us insight into what has been a historic turning point for a burgeoning industry in our city.
That was the year that was. December 2012 the aptly named Labor of Love Films were on their way back from IDFA (International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam) - the Cannes for the documentary makers. We were clutching a text message that simply said ‘interested’; it was from Nick Fraser the commissioning editor of BBC Storyville. Soon, the BBC machine began to roll and within six weeks a deal had been brokered and we had sold ‘Folie a Deux’ - set for a broadcast date late 2013. Onto 2014, with a UK distributor in place we are able to get a small cinematic release with dates to be announced in the new year, followed by a DVD and Video On Demand release in February. But now it’s on with the next films. Film 1. A Date with Death: Letters Home from San Quentin (working title). Labor of Love Films
If you can’t tell it in a sentence then you probably haven’t got one. If your story gets chosen, and we get it commissioned then you will get an originators fee. How’s that for a New Year’s resolution? Email your ideas to: laboroflovefilms@gmail.com
Film 2. ‘The Outlaw who Became a Pair of Shoes’ (working title). A modern day sheriff from Deadwood City tries to solve the macabre riddle of a stash of missing gold and an outlaw who became a pair of shoes (really!). Finally, Labor of Love Films are actively searching for a UK based documentary idea, the nearer to York the better. So get your thinking caps on, and remember ‘what’s the story?’
Q&A With
Steve Piper of Coffee Films: Killing Joke and Beyond Q. You just finished a documentary about cult band Killing Joke, what was that like? Challenging and inspiring; they have some really unusual perspectives on the world which make them fascinating but not always easy to film; I’ve been working on it for about six years and the director has been on it for twelve. It’s a privilege to document an under-appreciated piece of music history though, they’ve inspired so many great artists and their spiritual interests have taken us on some amazing journeys, it should be in cinemas early this year. Q. You recently relocated to York from the South, how come and how is it? It really came from working on the Zomblogalypse film and knowing a couple of other filmmakers from the area. Kent is overshadowed by London
so has no ‘indie scene’, and London often feels pretentious and full of timewasters. York seems to have a nice balance of a lot of creativity in a smaller pond and a community feel to it, everyone knows everyone a little bit, and it lacks people like film producers who connect that creativity to the wider industry so it’ll be interesting seeing how things go. Q. What’s planned for the year ahead? Hopefully a very productive period, we only really made one film over the last six years, so there’s about seven feature projects in development now, a lot with York talent, which should be getting into production the second half of 2014. Plus Zomblogalypse; it turns out adapting something from one format into another is a lot harder than it looks, it’s easy to betray your source material, but it feels like we’re getting really close with the script and it’ll be a lot of fun to make.

Jamie McKeller Discusses: The Year of The Web series
As the cult of the webseries seems to be increasing, filmmakers across the globe are addressing the medium as a new calling card to the industry. People like York’s Jamie McKeller of RedShirt Films are gaining fans and notoriety across the board and it seems the industry is taking note. It was so much the case that last year Jamie’s series I Am Tim and Nights of The Round Table saw him and his team travel down to ComicCon Twice. We caught up with Jamie to discuss the ever increasing medium and to find out whether 2013 really was “The Year of The Webseries”? Q. Why web series? Web series are a playground for filmmakers, giving us the opportunity to create a pocket universe to jump around in. Short films are excellent calling cards, but we wanted to have some room to tell larger stories and create rich, interesting characters. It can be tricky to do that in five minutes. Plus the audience are right there.You can engage with them on a whole other level through social networking. Q. Are web series the/your future? They’re certainly a part of our future, and are
something we’ll never walk away from no matter what happens to us. The word “web” is still a bit dirty in the UK which is a real shame, because if you look across the pond you can see some fantastic festivals popping up which are completely driven by webTV. We’ve submitted Nights into some, but they’re all in Canada, America, Australia and France. Raindance had a webfest area, and it’s something other film festivals should really jump onto soon. Q. Does the fact people like Raindance are acknowledging them give you hope? And does it indicate that the phenomenon is only really just beginning? Without a doubt. We’ve had amazing feedback about our channel, and the content up there put me in front of some people who can help. Look to bigger YouTubers such as TomSka and TimH who have started to produce web series, stepping away from the traditional three minute sketches that ruled their channels and you can see that the change is coming. YouTube networks like BuzzMyVideos, The Multiverse and Channel Flip are actively seeking out web series now. With Smart TV arriving,YouTube slips into mainstream on demand viewing alongside iPlayer and 4OD.These networks are looking to drop existing and continuing series on the front line to catch new audiences.

Could York be a ‘Feature Film Town? Undressing the future with Miles Watts Written by Miles Watts
Amid the excitement of securing a sales agent at Cannes and doing the Snoopy dance of joy while screening our latest film Whoops! at Raindance, we’ve been seeing the bigger picture and laying a lot of groundwork for York’s filmmaking scene to flourish this year. We’ve gathered together a group of filmmakers with a variety of scripts for production over the next couple of years, from drama and comedy to film noir, horror and thriller. We hope to see filmmaking facilities and collaboration grow so that graduates and filmmakers can benefit from a vibrant, exciting film industry within the city.
Alongside our other projects, we’re aiming to further stimulate and expand York’s film industry with our big screen adaptation of Zomblogalypse and we’re working with some truly exciting companies to make it happen. There’ll be some Zomblogalypse specials leading to the movie and about a zillion other fun events, online content and career opportunities. Last but not least, this year we hope to release our two new features Whoops! and Amber to the general public, and will most assuredly be writing the script for the follow up film once the New Year’s hangovers have cleared…

In a time of austerity the third sector is facing an uphill struggle to balance the tides and continue striving for those in need. With last year’s diary set aside, the blank page of January presents an opportunity to roll off the stresses and negatives of the year passed and start afresh. With this new perspective we look to the future, and reminisce the past. Looking at two charities that see January as a mark to new beginnings and continued chapters. We celebrate Jack Raine Community Foundation as they thrive off the success of 2013, and Upstage Centre Youth Theatre who are looking forward to a prosperous future after triumphing the largest of challenges.

after the interval
Last year, Upstage Centre Youth Theatre celebrated 20 years of providing youth theatre activities for young people in York. Over the years the charity has gone under many different guises - from Stagecoach Youth Theatre York (not to be confused with the international franchise!) until Upstage Centre Youth Theatre was settled on. You may have heard of or seen some of their work already; from the musical adaptation of Alice’s Adventure in Wonderland, to their Summer Shakespeare projects, the hearty KneesUpstage fundraisers or their most recent production of Into the Woods.
Visuals by Ben Bentley
Having heard of them or not, Upstage Centre Youth Theatre are raising the curtains and stepping into the spotlight for 2014, becoming one of the needto-know organisations of the new year. But why now? Well, in 2006 Upstage Centre Youth Theatre were in bad shape. Like all arts organisations, the lack of funding opportunities and constant cuts to the few pots of money that are available caused the charity to suffer. As an organisation run primar-
ily by volunteers, they are heavily reliant on good will and hard work, which are sometimes in short supply. But UCYT are the epiphany of those who fight, and triumph. Over the last six years they have taken on their fate and transformed their prospects. And for their newly appointed Co-Artistic Directors Matt Harper and Joshua Newman, 2014 is the beginning of the highly awaited second act. “What was once a bleak outlook is now a positive one, and we are triumphant that more and more of our potential is being realised, year on year.” “This year marks the next chapter in our progression. We have been Youth Theatre Practitioners with the charity for 2 years now, and along with its strong team of volunteers have helped and watched its achievements and ambitions grow. Recently, we have been delighted to be appointed as co-artistic directors. This means we are now responsible for shaping the artistic future of the charity. This means we are creating even more exciting opportunities for young people of all backgrounds and abilities to get involved with arts, build their confidence and develop their creativity. “
With the new year bringing new times Upstage Centre Youth Theatre are also keen to welcome unseen faces, offering a range of volunteering opportunities for those wanting to experience the razzle dazzle of the theatre world.
For any more details or to get involved in Upstage’s exciting new journey, you can contact Matthew Harper at matthew. harper@upstagecentre.org.uk. You can also find out how to volunteer for Upstage Centre Youth Theatre on our volunteering page at oneandother.com.

And in a building that can be viewed as the modern-day equivalent of Fame, where performance and the arts is the key to expression, UCYT have also just launched CrASH - The Creative Arts Support Hub - a forum for young and emerging writers, composers and artists of all kinds to come together and develop their skills in a professional but nurturing environment.
For a charity that saw the brinks of closing just six years ago there is no other organisation in York than Upstage Centre Youth Theatre that epitomises the saying ‘the show must go on’ so fittingly.
oneandother.com
Their new programme of events - launched this month - includes Of Myths and Mortals, a high-energy devised performance for ages 8-14, inspired by ancient Greek mythology; The Bloody Chamber, a new retelling of Angela Carter’s gruesome and passionate version of Duke Bluebeard’s Castle and Jungle Fever, a tropically-themed week of springtime fundraising and youth theatre workshops and performances, for all the family.

oneandother.com We ventured into the boxing club run by Jack Raine Community Foundation, a charity that has had a knockout year, to discover why its at the forefront of the community. Beginning life as a boxing club, Jack Raine Community Foundation is the welcoming open door for those in York who are vulnerable, and going through hardship, helping young people to turn their lives around. In simple terms, they’re in your corner. Founded in 1967 by its namesake, headmaster Jack Raine started it as a sports club for children. His passion for supporting and helping society’s lost and broken is the key to JRCF’s past, present and future. Having become a registered charity back in 2004 the last ten years have seen the organisation flourish as one of Yorkshire largest Alternative Learning Provisions (ALPs) as an ASDAN accredited centre for education, York’s largest organisation working with the Gypsy and Traveller community and 2013’s City of York Lord Mayor’s chosen charity. Known for its infamous boxing club, affiliated with York Boxing Club, the gloves and ring are just the catalyst into the world of support that JRCF provide. The gym, located on Walmgate, is a sanctuary from the streets, providing a space that is affordable and inclusive for all, costing as little as £50 a year for full use of the Centre’s activities. Not only for the boxers, martial arts and bouldering are just a few of the activities offered to engage with.

A charity of many traits, JRCF’s incentive is not to get people fit, but to overcome the challenges that life presents, be it substance abuse, exploitation, bullying, rough sleeping or neglect
The ‘carrot ‘ of picking up a boxing glove means that many self-refer, but JRCF also work in partnership with York Police, City of York Council and The Youth Offending Team along with a number of charities and organisations across the city, to make sure that no child or young adult is given up on. A charity of many traits, JRCF’s incentive is not to get people fit, but to overcome the challenges that life
presents, be it substance abuse, exploitation, bullying, rough sleeping or neglect. That’s no small task, but nor was the initial mission of Jack Raine, a mission that meant no one was left behind, a mission that JRCF can celebrate for all their successes.

Food for Thought
When we wrote to our readers, back in the Artisan issue, proposing the issue of the Food Bank, and the need for a community solution, we knew that our question was a vast and challenging one. Be it its relevance in the media or a first-hand understanding of the prominence of poverty in York, we were pleased to find that we are not the only ones willing to raise the issue and work towards a resolution. And within those responses, one reader came forward and asked ‘can I write my response and pose my solutions?’. Visual by Liberty Grace
So here is Richard Bridge’s reflection on how we can work towards creating a city where food banks do not need to exist. Believe you have an answer? Email aliz@oneandother.com
A Can of Complexity: How to Solve the Problem of the Food Bank
In the supermarket last week, I was approached by some engaging volunteers collecting for York Foodbank. By the time I left, they had done a brisk trade and many people were giving generously. Afterwards, I reflected why people are happy to give some pasta or coffee to the foodbank but asked if benefits are too generous, the same people often concur. Barely a day passes without food banks hitting the headlines. Due to the concept itself being relatively unchallenged within mainstream media, they are mostly framed as essential institutions. For that reason, I found myself drawn to One&Other’s constructive question asking how food banks could be eliminated from York within 5 years. I don’t dispute food banks are a lifeline to many. That said, the concern must be that if we follow the example of Canada and the US, the institutionalisation of food banks will become so embedded in society that they form part of our social security system. Or actually become our social security. And to me, that’s a massive problem.
So before considering solutions, what is their cause? Certainly, benefit delays, sanctions, low pay, payday loans are all contributory factors. Michael Gove’s assertion it’s due to “poor decisions”, or Edwina Currie’s suggestion of “rational” opportunists are crass attempts to demonise poor people for their poverty. The issue is more complex – for instance, food bills have increased by 32% since 2007.
So could food banks be removed from York’s landscape within five years? The clear objective should be that all residents can obtain a safe, nutritionally adequate diet through a sustainable food system that maximises community self-reliance and social justice. An unachievable utopia? Perhaps, but many
However, if we accept the notion that food is a human right – and the commodification of welfare appears to contest that view – the existence of radical inequalities suggests our political system needs re-examining. If we revert to charity, we fail to challenge the legitimacy of a system that leaves people reliant on food banks. So perhaps the answer to how York can rid itself of food banks is simpler. Next time you are in the supermarket and give some instant mash potato to the Foodbank, follow it up with a letter to your MP and councillors and express your outrage at how society is being reconstructed without consideration for children and adults to have even their most basic need met.

Written by Richard Bridge
Research from abroad shows receivers of food often feel shamed, humiliated and stigmatized. Despite efforts by some food banks to address this, the receipt of food from a benefactor can never seem ‘normal’. Other problems include the ability to cope with demand (donations ebb and flow), the nutritional a dequacy of a food parcel and even whether people have sufficient fuel at home to cook. Food and fuel poverty are intrinsically linked.
groups in York aim to achieve some of those goals (for instance Greenfields, Edible York, Food not Bombs). However, the structure and aims of such a scheme are critical.

The Hidden Treasure For York’s Betrothed 13 Grape Lane,York, YO1 7HU, 01904 661130
One of the most special days in many people’s lives is their wedding day, the day on which one person officially binds themselves to their significant other in the eyes of the law. However, more often than not, this day can also be stressful. Therefore one place in York offers you the chance to do it all under one roof. 1331 is already a treasure trove to York’s culinary, cocktail and cinephile scenes, yet it also has one more, slightly hidden gem. Through their beautiful courtyard and up the winding staircase lies a chapel for the 21st century. The Tiffany Room is a fully licensed Art Deco style suite which holds 40 guests. Yet the wedding experience doesn’t stop there...

The Big Questions Planner or No Planner?
Date/ Venues
As soon as you decide to get married it is a good idea to look into whether you are going to need a planner. Sometimes paying an upfront fee and removing a large portion of the stress is preferable, so address this question early on so you know what you are dealing with. If your budget however won’t allow you to a professional, your caterer or banquet director may be able to assume this responsibility.
One of these can very much dictate the other as they indicate the season and the quintessential question: Do I want an Indoor or Outdoor Ceremony? Now the truth of the matter is, we live in England and even the summeriest of months can host downfall, therefore, if your plan is “outdoor” think of a backup. One&Other’s Venue Guide: Outdoors: Anyone getting married outdoors will need full permission from the venue and due to a very recent legislation outdoor weddings are fully legalised. However many country houses and hotels already hold the license.

Ask the Expert Wedding Make Up: with Chloe Furze
York based Make- Up artist Chloe Furze has been in the industry for years, often keeping brides calm on their wedding morning. She shares with us her top tips for the big day.
Eyebrows are also key to framing your eyes and accentuating the shape of your face. I always use powder and brush backwards against the hair so the colour goes on the skin - not on top of the hair thus making them look more natural.
Make sure you use the right colour foundation and one the will look good under camera flashes, you can check this at home in natural and indoor lighting- make sure you check both, it can make a huge difference in photos I love Lancôme teint idol 24 hour foundation, illamasqua pro base and bareMinerals.
To give your face colour pick a blusher in cream or powder that is a good tone for your skin. E.g. if you’re fair then pick a pink that has bluer undertones.
Contouring can play a big part in definition of the cheeks bones, chin and forehead - I will be posting some how to pictures on my Facebook page in the new year.
Finally setting powder - make sure you don’t over powder your cheeks or under your eyes as it will get rid of the nice dewy effect you’ve just created with the foundation, plus too much powder can result in flashback in pictures making you look like you have put flour on your face. For any questions or queries feel free to contact Chloe by email: info@chloefurze.co.uk, or on Facebook: chloefurzemua and visit her website at www.chloefurze.co.uk

Eye makeup is a huge part of wedding makeup so picking the right colours for is key. Urban Decay do 4 eye pallets that are amazing on every skin tone. My favourite for wedding eyes is the original naked pallet 1. It has the right amount of matte and shimmer (not glitter) and comes in all shades, from neutral browns to golds, soft ivory and dark browns/black which are perfect for definition along the lash line and in the crease of the eye socket
For your lips make sure you pick a shade that is complementary to your natural tone and also the rest of your makeup. My top tip is to use a universal lip liner (clear) to make your lipstick stay-put for hours and keep it with you for photo touch ups

10 Years and Going Strong: According to the McGees We are now fully immersed in the 2010s, veering towards the halfway mark as we say hello to 2014. And for white-cube gallery According to McGee the last decade has been a flourish of adventure, now celebrating their 10 year anniversary as the trailblazers of York’s art scene. Not one to shy away from a birthday they’re extending their celebrations across the year, with a series of exhibitions showcasing the suitably named ‘trailblazers of contemporary art.’ Kicking off with this year’s artists to watch ‘Garage Projects’, a group of Goldsmith’s and Glasgow Graduates who are painting the picture of the future art. We caught up with Greg and Ails McGee to reflect on a decade of According to McGee. Q. Having been at the forefront of the industry for ten years what have you learnt? Greg: “Our formative years as a gallery were interesting in that at times in our enthusiasm we came close to being a little naive, a little too dependent on the artists’ sense of what makes a great exhibition. Sometimes it worked, most of the time it didn’t. We paid the price for that a few times. There’s a world of difference between someone enjoying saying “I’m an artist” because it gives them a thrill and someone having to say “I’m an artist” because to
them they can’t exist without sketching, drawing, painting and finishing a piece. To these people, arriving punctually and working out prices professionally and making curatorial decisions with a gallery is as much about being an artist as getting the easel out and getting creative.” Q. Of those who you’ve exhibited, who have been the stand out artists of the last decade? Ails: “The northern art scene is in very rude health, and we’ve been honoured to both help maintain and help establish reputations. Old school names such as Doug Binder, David Baumforth and Brian Lewis have had international recognition for decades, and their work is as edgy as anything we’ve ever shown. Newer names such as Olivia Streatfeild-James, Sam Jefferies, Amrik Varkalis are attracting a lot of attention from our overseas collectors. I suppose our flag ship artist is Richard Barnes and his instantly recognisable cityscapes. His work chimes well with our manifesto in that he respects York’s baroque heritage but at the same time he rejuvenates it with a unique energy. In a sense, that’s what According to McGee is all about - the traditional resampled and remixed into something even more exciting.” According to McGee’s first exhibition of 2014,’Beginnings, Middles, Ends’ will run from 17 - 25 January.

exhibition listings Everything Used to be Better 14 - 24 Jan (The Norman Rea Gallery) A collection of vivid and colorful portraits inspired by photographs of the artists ancestors, Silvia Jacobi’s exhibition Everything Used to be Better looks to life at pre-1989 Germany. The paintings attempt to revive the historical documents that she possesses and take us back to a time that many of us can only use imagination to evoke by, in a
process where she imagined how it would have been for herself to be there. The German born artist, now based in London referred to her work as a “(fascination) by how our perceptions about discipline and hierarchies have changed, and how gestures of people, architecture and public spaces can portray this.”
Fay De Winter & Alice Evans
Imaginative Colour Exhibition

Showcasing original paintings and linocuts by Giuliana Lazzerini, David Carson Shaw, Claire West and Sharon Winter, the exhibition also showcases ceramics, sculptures, glass and jewelry by Gallery Artists.
