CELEBRATING TOGETHERNESS AT GDIF 2020 This year’s 25th anniversary Festival takes place in unprecedented times.

The recent hard months have shown in sharp relief our need for equality and community, whilst reminding us of the resilience that comes from looking after each other.

As a free outdoor festival, GDIF has always tried to play an active role in local civic life, and as we start to reimagine the future, this year’s Festival, the country’s first since lockdown, has been designed with artists, partners and participants to offer an inclusive moment to reflect on the importance of togetherness, whilst hopefully providing something we all need more than ever – a time to celebrate and smile.

TICKETING INFORMATION TICKETING FOR 2020

HOW CAN I SUPPORT GDIF?

GDIF is an entirely FREE festival, but this year we’ve had to put ticketing arrangements in place across the Festival to ensure that audience members can enjoy the events whilst social distancing.

This has been the most challenging festival we’ve ever had to put together. Devising new approaches and adapting our programme to embed extra safety measures has required additional resources and we need your support more than ever.

All tickets can be booked via our website. If a show is ticketed, you must register for a ticket for all members of your group planning to attend.

Capacities at this year’s Festival will be much lower than in previous years and so to ensure that as many people as possible can access the Festival, please note that: • You can book for up to four people for each event • We are encouraging group bookings (up to 4 people) where possible to aid with social distancing plans • Tickets for many events will be booked by the bench, which can accommodate up to four people from the same household.

In these instances, one ticket will secure one bench • You can book for a maximum of three events across the Festival • A limited number of on-the-day tickets will be available on a first-come first-served basis for all shows boxoffice@festival.org +44 (0) 7432 197 543

Make a donation We would be enormously grateful if you would consider donating to GDIF in the midst of these challenging times. You can do this by visiting bit.ly/supportGDIF. If you’re a UK Taxpayer, we can reclaim Gift Aid that will add 25% to the value of your donation, at no extra cost to you.

You can also donate via text message. Text LOVEGDIF 10 to 70085 to donate £10, LOVEGDIF 5 to 70085 to donate £5, or LOVEGDIF 2 to 70085 to donate £2 - texts cost the value of your donation plus one standard rate message.

Anything you can give will help us to continue to bring free, spectacular, accessible, inclusive outdoor arts to public spaces across Greenwich and East London.

Become a Patron Our Patrons help people to attend the arts for the first time through an annual donation towards the work we do at GDIF. We develop close ties with our Patrons, individuals who share a passion for the Festival, the arts more broadly, or the London boroughs in which we work.

Supported by Without Walls and FESTIVAL.ORG. Informed by the Wellcome Trust-funded ‘Weather Lives’ project, led by Dr Cassie Phoenix at Durham University.

Luke Jerram’s ceremonial art installation has been created as a memorial to those we have lost in the COVID-19 pandemic. The artwork has also been made in tribute to the NHS staff and volunteers who have worked so tirelessly to care for so many.

Created from bed sheets, In Memoriam is intended to be an evocative symbol of local, national and international solidarity, presented a short distance from the Queen Elizabeth Hospital as a space for reflection, remembrance, and recognition.

As a thank you to NHS workers, GDIF will be presenting two ceremonial events for staff of Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust. These events will also be available on GDIF’s YouTube channel and will include performances from Greenwich Dance as well as readings, reflections and performances.

Audience members are requested to respect the fact that this installation is a memorial for quiet reflection. Please note that children must be accompanied at all times.

Please visit festival.org/whats-on/ gdif-in-Memoriam

The UK premiere of In Memoriam at GDIF is supported by the Royal Borough of Greenwich, Royal Greenwich Festivals, Without Walls and Arts Council England.

With thanks to the Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust.

Featured in three GDIF events this year, Luke Jerram’s multidisciplinary practice involves the creation of sculptures, installations and live arts projects. Living in the UK but working internationally since 1997, Jerram has created a number of extraordinary art projects which have excited and inspired people around the globe.

Gratte Ciel’s Weaving Workshop

WEAVING TOGETHER GDIF DURING LOCKDOWN SATURDAY 29 – SUNDAY 30 AUGUST THERE WILL BE A SELECTION OF AUDIO DESCRIPTIONS OF THE INSTALLATIONS ON OUR WEBSITE Back in March, GDIF set up a series of participatory arts activities and commissions to engage with and support local residents during lockdown.

Artists imagined ‘at home’ creative workshops which were delivered in food packages to people who were shielding, through a partnership with Greenwich Co-operative Development Agency (GCDA) and online. Some wrote poetry, wove African baskets, wove strands of fabric symbolising diversity or assembled beautiful creations using upcycled everyday objects.

GDIF’s original plans for its Opening Night this year (now postponed to 2021) would have featured a spectacular dreamcatcher created by the French company Gratte Ciel suspended over General Gordon Square.

During lockdown, Gratte Ciel created an online weaving workshop which has provided the inspiration for a number of community-based projects, the results of which have been integrated into this year’s ‘On Your Doorstep’ programme (see pages 24-31).

Weaving Together is supported by the Royal Borough of Greenwich, Royal Greenwich Festivals, and Arts Council England.

LO-GIUDICE DANCE

This intimate and touching performance explores the impact of small gestures between two men. Caught between a place where delicate exchanges of affection and moments driven by heart-felt emotion become entangled with the discomforts of prejudice, L’Uomo examines and highlights the concerns same-sex couples can still face when holding hands or showing affection in public. (L’Uomo will also be presented at Dancing City on 5 September). 20 minutes

MIMBRE

LUKE JERRAM

This new socially distanced show has been created in direct opposition to Mimbre’s usual ways of working; instead of exploring what happens when one body is carried by another, these virtuosic acrobats are now examining what happens when they are not so reliant on physical contact, instead mimicking the very idea of ‘touch’ whilst remaining untouched. 15 minutes

FIND BSL AND AUDIO DESCRIPTION ON OUR WEBSITE A parade of twinkling lights will transform bedtime into a magical, shared moment in this illuminated artwork created by Luke Jerram.

Soothing musical refrains in a new score commissioned from Dan Jones and Guy Hughes using locally recorded lullabies, will accompany LED-lit bicycles on their twilight journey through the streets. Lullaby is a gift to Plumstead, created in collaboration with Rockcliffe Manor Primary School and local residents, delivered at dusk on their doorsteps. 60 minutes

DANCING CITY SATURDAY 5 SEPTEMBER 1PM–5PM CANARY WHARF This year, GDIF’s annual outdoor dance programme has been reinvented to enable you to experience more intimate performances whilst observing social distancing.

Offering more limited audience capacities than in past years, whilst still making the most of Canary Wharf’s fantastic alfresco piazzas and landscapes, this year’s Dancing City, sets out to prove that small can be beautiful.

Please be aware that if capacity has been reached, no further audience members will be allowed into each site.

We have designed six alternative routes for you to choose from to enable as many people as possible to experience this year’s performances. For further details, please visit festival.org/whats-on/ gdif-Dancing-City canarywharf.com 4pm

DANCING CITY AMARANTHINE

COMPANY CHAMELEON COLUMBUS COURTYARD, 1PM & 3.30PM This risk taking, fast paced duet tells the story of two people who are simultaneously deeply in love, and conflict. The dancers strive towards resolution and acceptance whilst battling emotional and physical discord in this magnetic rich mix of dance styles, from contemporary to b-boying and capoeira. Intricate partner work and a mesmerising soundtrack promises to exhilarate and engage. 14 minutes Amaranthine is supported by Arts Council England and Manchester City Council.

DANDYISM

PATRICK ZIZA DANCE COLUMBUS COURTYARD, 2.15PM & 4.20PM Famed for their reinvention of fashion, to create a style uniquely their own, the ‘Sapeurs’ of Brazzaville and Kinshasa, provide the inspiration for this dance celebration of African style and cool. Speaking of empowerment, identity and resilience, Dandisym is a timely, flamboyant and defiantly joyous new work from Patrick Ziza Dance. 30 minutes Dandyism is supported by Dance City, Arts Council England, and The National Lottery.

CATCH ME UPSWING

UPPER LEVEL RIVERSIDE, 2.30PM & 4.45PM Catch Me is a duet - at a distance - between an older woman and younger man. A surprising take on age, race and gender, two bodies discover unexpected connections whilst never quite reaching each other. Both performance and installation, Catch Me asks how we see each other and who we value. 15 minutes Catch Me is supported by Without Walls and commissioned by Norfolk & Norwich Festival. Additional funding and support from Arts Council England, and Festival of Creative Ageing.

IRMÃ-SISTER DAMAEDANCE

BANK STREET PARK, 2.30PM & 4.35PM What does it take to become close to someone?

And, ultimately, what does it mean? This mesmerising new piece in 360 degrees, uses dance to exhilaratingly explore the challenges of female relationships and their representation.

Two women journey through conflict, tenderness, anger, support and understanding. 25 minutes IRMÃ-sister is supported by Without Walls and commissioned

by Hat Fair and Stockton International Riverside Festival.

Damae Dance has been supported by Company Chameleon, who offered mentorship and in-kind support for the development of IRMÃ-sister.

Caught between a place where delicate exchanges of affection and moments of heart-felt emotion become entangled with the discomforts of prejudice, L’Uomo examines and highlights the concerns same-sex couples can still face when holding hands or showing affection in public. 20 minutes

RAINBOW BALLET DULCE COMPANIA

BANK STREET PARK, 1PM & 3.15PM This ingenious and spectacular performance takes inspiration from the Bauhaus movement and the Triadic Ballets of the 1920’s, which imagined movement as geometry. In this rainbow reinvention, costume, colour, stilts and formation choreography come together as two trios of dancers conduct a public space takeover. 30 minutes

HUMANHOOD BANK STREET PARK, 1.45PM & 4PM This exploration of astronomy through dance, considers the relationship between the visible, bright side of the Moon and humankind. Echoing the rising and falling of the tides, two liquid bodies change and morph under the influence of the Earth’s orbiting sphere: the Moon.

20 minutes Sphera is supported by Arts Council England.

WHY?

GRAVITY & LEVITY MONTGOMERY SQUARE, 1.30PM & 3.30PM Gravity & Levity’s re-imagining of their 2004 debut show explores grief, the passing of time and how we move forwards. Performed on a free-standing vertical wall and featuring the original cast with new sound and music, this achingly beautiful performance harnesses 16 years of experience in a gravity-defying tour de force. 22 minutes Why? is supported by Without Walls and commissioned

by Norfolk and Norwich Festival. Why? was re-created with generous support from Arts Council England, The Point, Fidget Feet and the Irish Aerial Creation Centre.

846 LIVE THEATRE ROYAL STRATFORD EAST SATURDAY 12 SEPTEMBER 12PM, 1.30PM, 4PM, 6PM RDLAC SPORTS COURT, NORTH WOOLWICH, ROYAL DOCKS AGES 14+ BSL INTERPRETED AND CAPTIONED AT 4PM AND 6PM 846 Live is a co-production with Theatre Royal Stratford East and the Royal Docks Team in response to the murder of George Floyd on 25 May 2020.

This brutal murder ignited a global surge of anger and pain. From the Windrush scandal to the Grenfell Tower tragedy, racist oppression is very much alive in the UK. In June 2020, Theatre Royal Stratford East worked with a group of Black and Asian writers, led by Roy Williams, to respond artistically to George Floyd’s murder and the Black Lives Matter Movement, creating an audio play 846 – a collection of standalone short pieces exploring racial inequality and oppression. The stories, all unique, span a breadth of themes and emotions, from tragic to angry, to frightening and even funny.

Together they form a powerful tapestry of voices.

846 Live draws on those stories, bringing together a selection of the plays to form an arresting outdoor performance.

To book please visit festival.org/whats-on/ gdif-846/ Audio Description Introduction will be available online in advance of the performance. Captions will be provided via the Difference Engine App Co-produced between Theatre Royal Stratford East, FESTIVAL ORG for GDIF, and the Royal Docks Team.

With funding from Newham Council.

Please note that some of the plays contain strong language that some audience members may find upsetting.
