P
ack a raincoat and slip into a pair of comfy shoes, but leave your purse at home: Greenwich and Docklands International Festival returns this June, bringing with it two weeks of free outdoor performances, created by artists from all over the world. With over 130 performances and 15 UK premières, there’s something to thrill everyone writes Holly O’Mahony...
Since the mid 1990s, the annual Greenwich and Docklands International Festival (GDIF) has staged exciting, large-scale outdoor performances across the borough. The festival runs this year from June 21 – July 6, offering a two-week programme packed with diverse, topical and wow-factor shows. GDIF was founded in 1996 by Bradley Hemmings, who’s continued to be the festival’s artistic director for the past 23 years. Over that time he’s seen it expand considerably. “It’s been a fascinating journey,” Bradley says. “The point of the festival is
6 May 29 2019
that it should always inhabit and reflect the place and the people who live there.” Today, GDIF attracts around 100,000 people each year, from all over the UK and beyond. It’s always been known for its inclusion of diverse acts and performers. This year, for the first time, the opening night spectacle is being moved from Greenwich town centre to up-and-coming Woolwich. “It’s an exciting time for Woolwich; it’s on the move,” says Bradley. As such, on Friday June 21, expect to find the streets of Woolwich transformed into a festival-within-the-festival. The area will be heaving with giant puppets, art installations, food stalls, dancers and street theatre performers. The night culminates in General Gordon Square, which is being transformed into a glittering outdoor ballroom thanks to a high-flying, immersive production from internationally acclaimed Transe Express. Bradley and the team at GDIF are passionate about commissioning new work and as a result, all events on the festival
programme this year are new. Many projects have been in the pipeline for the last six months and some have even taken 18 months to come together. Highlights include Daedalum (June 21 – 23), the latest immersive architectural installation from Alan Parkinson, whose ‘cathedrals of air’ have attracted more than three million visitors across the world. A great one for kids and adults alike, the self-contained world of Daedalum offers labyrinthine of colorful, pillowy tunnels to explore. “Similar architectural structures have been created in previous years but this is an entirely new installation for 2019,” says Bradley. “There also hasn’t been one like it in London for an awfully long time.” Another famed company returning with a new act is Gandini Juggling, who are bringing their critically-acclaimed mash-up of clowning, slapstick and dance to the festival in the form of a new show, Stack Cats, on June 22 and 23. Immersive theatre fans, meanwhile, should book to see
Jessica Wilson’s Passenger (June 26 – 29), a play which invites its audience onto a bus where they listen in on a conversation between two passengers. As the narrative unwinds, the scenery as the bus passes through London’s Royal Docks provides the backdrop for the story. “As the story unfolds, you’re also looking at a changing landscape around you,” points out Bradley. “Between the action on the bus and the world outside, it comes together into something that’s very complete.” Another event to make a beeline for if you have little ones in tow is Apocalyptic Circus’s My House July 4 and 5), a 30-minute performance piece which takes place inside a giant pop-up Wendy house. Audience members are invited to peer through the windows and doors to gape at the circus spectacle taking place within, before entering the house after the show and testing our their own circus skills. Sculpture enthusiasts, particularly those with a penchant for the surreal, should make time to see Captain
Boomer Collective’s Pasture with Cows (June 21 - 23). “Captain Boomer previously created a giant beached whale for the festival,” says Bradley. “This time, it’s a giant frame which will sit on the lawns of the Old Royal Naval College.” Here, a giant painting complete with cows comes to life and it’s on you, the observer, to take your place inside the frame and complete the ever-evolving piece of art. “We’re also working with [arts organisation] Fuel on a number of their ‘Fly the Flag’ projects to mark the 70th anniversary since the Universal Declaration of Human Rights,” reveals Bradley. “A flag is being commissioned from the Chinese artist Ai Weiwei and there are events that are happening around London and throughout the country that are looking at human rights in a contemporary context,” he says. “More often than not, people associate human rights with something that’s happening in another country, so a lot of it is about making people think of human rights as something that matters here, locally.”

One of the main challenges with producing an outdoor arts festival in the UK is the unpredictable weather. “The biggest challenge for outdoor work is often not the rain, it’s the wind,” says Bradley. “If the wind is very strong, it poses a safety risk. If it starts to shower, we hold off the start of the performance, or we adapt the show to make sure it’s safe and not slippery for performers. People are very tolerant of it. You have to rely a lot on the spirit of the audience to
laura@weekender.co.uk /
keep you going as well.” This year, however, a whole new challenge came in the form of the impending threat of Brexit, which was meant to take place on March 29. “We spent quite a lot of time wondering what the impacts of Brexit would be. Many of the artists who appear here we invite from Europe and other countries, and they sometimes come with quite elaborate sets and equipment,” says Bradley. “So we were trying to mitigate the risk of things getting stuck at the border at Dover.” Many will be thankful that Brexit hasn’t happened yet. But, as we’re only too aware, the fires behind it are far from extinguished. “We’ve never worked with a theme for the festival, however our opening and closing ceremonies are always very convivial and designed to make people come together and celebrate,” explains Bradley. “This year, it feels like a response to the very divided times we’re living through at the moment, where there’s fractious national conversation. Our job is to provide something different that brings people together – it’s not a theme, but that’s our intention.” Greenwich and Docklands International Festival (GDIF) runs from June 21 - July 6 and is taking place in locations across the borough. Most events are FREE to attend. Visit the website to find out more: www.festival.org/gdif/

Space mission Have you ever wondered how astronauts get by when they’re up in space, or what they do to prepare for an extraterrestrial mission? If so, now’s the time to find out, as Greenwich Theatre stages The Big Space Show, writes Holly O’Mahony... The experience has been designed as a collaboration between Greenwich & Lewisham Young People’s Theatre (GLYPT) and the Science Museum. It invites audience members to join the crew from the Science Museum as they voyage into deepest, darkest space. You’ll get to visit the space station, meet the astronauts, defy zero gravity and explore the solar system – all from the comfort of your seat in the Greenwich Theatre auditorium. Live footage from the science museum as well as recordings from space become an integral backdrop to the on-stage performances in The Big Space Show. Through an astronaut’s eyes, you’ll look back on awe-inspiring views of planet earth from outside its atmosphere, and witness the less glamorous side of space travel: drinking your own urine in order to survive. You’ll also witness space-walking and gravity explored through hip-hop dance in what is, for many, a highlight of the production.
laura@weekender.co.uk /
The show premiered last year at the Gravity Fields Festival in Grantham and was a big success. As such, the team have been able to revive it as part of the Greenwich Family Arts Festival this spring. The show is particularly relevant in 2019, a year that celebrates the 50th anniversary of the first moon landing, led by Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, in 1969. “The Science Museum is a fantastic institution to work with,” says Jeremy James, co-producer of The Big Space Show, and both artistic director and CEO of GLYPT. “Using a camera crew, we’ve been able to get really close to the experiments they run, such as playing with liquid nitrogen,” he explains. “We have also used footage from the International Space Station (ISS) and combined this with live hip-hop dance performances to explore ‘gravityless-ness’,” he reveals. “It’s a big show and a spectacular one.” The Big Space Show is on at Greenwich Theatre, Crooms Hill, Greenwich, SE10 8ES. May 31, at 11am and 2pm. Admission: £10/£8 concessions. www.greenwichtheatre.org.uk/

Comedy
Ask Andy
A
ndy Hamilton’s professional career in comedy began in 1976 when he started writing for the BBC Radio 4 show Week Ending. Since then, he’s written multiple sketches for Not the Nine O’Clock News, been a regular panellist on The News Quiz, and appeared on TV shows such as Have I Got News For You and QI. He’s renowned for starring as Satan in his long-running BBC Radio 4 sitcom Old Harry’s Game and is even known by a much younger audience as the voice of Dr Elephant, the dentist in the beloved children’s show Peppa Pig writes Holly O’Mahony...
Today, Andy is a household name, and one of Britain’s muchloved comedians and comedy writers. When not on our screens, he’s sometimes behind what we’re watching. Together with writing partner Guy Jenkin, he co-wrote and directed political comedies Ballot Monkeys and Power Monkeys for Channel 4, and hit BBC One sitcom Outnumbered among other shows. This Sunday, June 2, Andy is bringing his new stand-up show to Greenwich Theatre. Excitingly, no two shows of An Evening with Andy Hamilton will ever be the same, because the show is dictated by the audience – who are invited to ask Andy questions on any subject under the sun. “The audience can ask me a question about anything they want, serious or silly,” Andy says. “I don’t prescribe what they ask about and it’s usually a mixture.” That said, Andy typically begins the evening with 10 minutes of regular stand-up to warm the audience up before he starts taking questions. “Occasionally you get a question that’s really left field, but I’ve not been stuck yet,” he laughs. “Someone set me a geometry challenge once and someone asked me to guess their middle name. The fun of it often comes from the impossibility. It does work though. The show can go anywhere but the common theme is laughter.” While he tries to avoid the topic of Brexit – something he believes we all need a break from – Andy says the show almost always includes questions relating to the day’s news headlines. Another common theme, he says, is questions about his previous shows. “One of the great things about being old is you’ve got a lot of memories, jokes and stories in your head.” Andy’s love of comedy dates back to his childhood. “As a kid, one of my best friends was the telly and to a lesser extend the radio,” he says. “I grew up watching the likes of Monty Python and Steptoe and Son. I can’t say as a kid I was thinking that [comedy] is what I would do for a career. Comedy sort of found me, but once it did, I was hooked.” For Andy, the joy comes from
laura@weekender.co.uk /
He’s a comedian, comedy writer and voice of Dr Elephant in Peppa Pig - and now you can ask him anything
telling stories on stage and hearing people laugh. When asked what the highlights of his career have been so far, he says no one experience stands out as superior, but working on Old Harry’s Game and The News Quiz on Radio 4 were both happy times. “I’ve been very lucky. For a long time now I’ve been able to choose what I do. It’s a great privilege and I don’t take it for granted,” he says. What about advice for comedians just starting
www.weekender.co.uk
out in their career or those looking to get into it? “The only bit of advice I’d give to people is don’t take it personally,” Andy says. “If you get a rejection letter or an audience who don’t get into your show on the night, don’t read into it. It happens to everyone. I’ve not done the maths, but I reckon one script in 15 of mine gets commissioned.” Following his current tour, there are several more projects in the pipeline for Andy, who sees
himself as “a writer who goes out and clowns a bit”. One of which is a novel that is going to be published in his own handwriting and is in the form of a very long letter. Another is a new TV comedy show he’s working with frequent collaborator Guy Jenkin. For now, though, Andy is fully focused on touring his solo show. “The best part about the live shows is meeting people who have come along because
they like your stuff,” he says. “The duller bit is the travelling, especially when the gods conspire against you and you end up on bus replacement services all the way,” he laughs. Andy Hamilton is performing at Greenwich Theatre, Crooms Hill, Greenwich, SE10 8ES. June 2, from 7:30pm - 9:10pm. Admission: £21/ concessions £19. www.greenwichtheatre.org.uk/

County Lines Awareness Week match brings Met Police and mentors together
A
s part of National County Lines Awareness Week, Charlton Athletic Community Trust (CACT) held a football match which saw some of its mentors and the young people they work with play against Greenwich-based officers from the Metropolitan Police. County lines is when people from major cities, such as London, expand their drug networks into more rural areas. The game, which took place at Charlton Athletic’s Sparrows Lane training ground in New Eltham, encouraged young people and police officers to see each other in a different, more positive environment. Last November, CACT became part of the largest round of funding from the Young Londoners Fund, a grant awarded by the Mayor of
laura@weekender.co.uk /
London equating to £150,000 over three years. The grant has allowed CACT staff to undertake enhanced training relating to youth crime. The Connect project provides intensive one-on-one mentoring to build resilience and also provide a programme of positive diversionary activity. CACT leads on the delivery of the Connect project with three key partners. Paul Robinson, CACT’s Crime Reduction & Mentoring Manager, said: “We run the Connect project at CACT in partnership with the Royal Borough of Greenwich, Bexley and Peabody Trust, and it’s very important that we bring the strategic partners together. “This was a great opportunity for the young people to play a game that they love and to play against the police.
www.weekender.co.uk
“It’s about bringing young people together with the police and having a fun time.” The CACT team gelled well together and came out victorious, beating the Met Police 5-4 in an evenly-matched encounter. The event was also attended by Audrey Johnson, the Royal Borough of Greenwich’s Assistant Director for Early Help and Youth Offending Service. Audrey said: “Young people have lots of communication and contact with the police, but often at times it’s in a negative context so this kind
of event helps to break down the barriers and helps them to see the police as people.” The young people who took part have experienced a range of issues previously, including anger management, substance misuse and low self-esteem. One of the police officers who played in the game said: “We wanted to get involved with the County Lines Awareness Week, trying to promote the fact we can all be friends, and we showed that on the pitch – it was a great game. “We’re obviously going to bump
into young people on the streets, and if we know their faces and they know our faces then we can just be friendly, shake hands and have a chat. “It’s a great way of interacting and being one unit instead of being against each other.”

The View From Behind the Futuristic Rose Trellis (TVFBTFRT) is on as part of Block Universe, one of London’s leading international performance art festivals, which runs from May 18 – June 2 this year. The show is written and performed by Ravioli Me Away artists Alice Theobald, Sian Dorrer and Rosie Ridgway, with songs produced by collaborator Tom Hirst. “TVFBTFRT sings and dances its way through inner and outer realities, sifting through its characters to reveal moments of golden clarity shared by all,” says Ravioli Me Away’s Sian Dorrer. “It’s a bombastic, surreal and all encompassing showbiz experience, concerned with exposing and celebrating what is sometimes confused with the
audience members go from watching a live gig with the band Ravioli Me Away, to watching the band pretend to be themselves performing a live gig, to watching the band perform the gig from the perspective of alien observers. Confused? It’s a show you have to see to believe, and even then you might question whether it’s all really happening. With their posters splaying the phrase ‘society is a construct’, Ravioli Me Away’s new show might sound a bit too political and serious for a Saturday night. But the band insists that more important than the meta elements is that the audience have a good time and feel entertained. “The show is a dense and generous offering that we hope will leave pleasant, sonic worms in your ears,” Sian says.

MARKET COMMENT Graham Lawes Director of Residential South East JLL
Location and space ar Lovell Homes’ launch
The Greenwich property market continues to gain traction, with healthy levels of viewings throughout the week, not just at the weekends.
Viewings over the Bank Holidays can be a bit hit and miss, especially when the sun is shining; but I’m encouraged by the level of motivated buyers actively looking to purchase at all price points. Often the perception of how well the agent is performing is often based on how many viewings the property is getting. Whilst I do agree with this perception, it really comes down to the quality of viewer and the pre-qualification process, how the viewing is set up and the staging of the property. Buyers need to be given time to view the property and the viewing needs to be conducted by a senior member of the agency team – someone who is not just knowledgeable about the property but the area as a whole. Buyers, as well as sellers, need to trust their agent and feel that the advice and information they are receiving is accurate and true, without those stereotypical and arduous sales pitches. At JLL, we ensure the customer’s journey is as seamless and enjoyable as possible, and rest assured that if there are any bumps along the way we’ll be on hand to iron out the issues.
L
ovell Homes is expecting unprecedented demand for the long awaited launch of its new phase at Trinity Walk in Woolwich. Location is at the heart of this architect-designed development with the new Crossrail station located just a mile away allowing commuters a seven minute journey into central London. After the fantastic success on phase one, they are delighted to announce the
22 May 29 2019
launch of the second phase of their development that will consist of a stunning collection of one, two and three bedroom apartments, with some of them being impressive duplexes. The apartment buildings have been carefully designed to create a strong visual impact, accentuated with sensitive design details to provide a sense of individuality and style. Each new home has been built to maximise space and light as
well as being finished with a high specification to ensure high levels of comfort, security and quality. Stuart Gibbons, managing director of Lovell Homes, said: “We are looking forward to our launch showcase of our new phase at Trinity Walk. Buyers will be impressed with the space our apartments offer. All homes have been built to larger than normal standards which sets Trinity Walk apart from other new build developments in the area.”
The interiors are striking. Buyers can expect high gloss kitchens, with most fitted with fully integrated appliances. Each home also boasts contemporary white bathrooms suites and flooring throughout. Prices start from £350,000 and with Help to Buy available on all homes under £600,000, Lovell Homes are expecting a high demand on this popular scheme. www.trinitywalk-woolwich.com/

Avoid fines, get a tax break, and prepare for the new landlord laws with this Bermondsey estate agency
If you’re a landlord you need an informed and cost effective agency. Independent London set up a Central London office in 2008 to try to bridge the gap between High Street agents and Internet advertising options.
Since then they’ve established themselves as a landlord friendly, knowledgeable and reliable Estate Agency using a fair fee structure and the latest technology to enhance the landlord’s experience. They stay on the edge of technology and were using online signing back then in 2008 when nobody else was. As of June 1st the Government is banning all fees to tenants. This means that your estate agent will no longer be allowed to charge administration fees to tenants moving into a property. They cannot charge for references or a check in or a check out. Do you know exactly what the Tenant Fee Ban means to you? Is your letting agent passing on the fees to you? Has the Government relabelled Tenants Fees and called them Landlord Fees? Independent London is taking a pragmatic approach to the Fee ban. If you are confused by what your agent is telling you then call Independent London now for free advice and information regarding the ban. Does your property need an additional House in Multiple Occupation (HMO) licence? Southwark council requires a licence for a property with three unrelated tenants. Even a couple and a single person living in a two-bedroom property would require an additional HMO licence. Are you legal? Is your tenancy legal? Ask the experts at Independent London and you could avoid a large fine. The agency is also experienced in winding down HMOs and finding families to rent larger properties, thus avoiding the requirement for an HMO Licence. Do you know how to set up a Special Purchase Vehicle to buy your investment property with a Limited Company so you can claim mortgage interest back in your tax return? Could you qualify and incorporate your property portfolio? This could save a landlord with five properties or more thousands in tax and stamp duty. Giving landlords expert advice is what Independent prides itself on. There
