A free event presenting new work by emerging and established practitioners including drama, dance and live performance, followed by a panel of experts (Kumiko Mendl  Artistic Director Yellow Earth among others) and networking possibility.

With the approaching of London Olympics a debate on multiculturalism cannot be more relevant. This is the first in a series of events on multiculturalism and focuses on how London perceives itself and other cultures in terms of confrontation and dialogue.

Opportunity
There will be also the opportunity to talk to David Ahlbrecht AC Orange UK and US Representative on bringing a show to China.
AC Orange is one of the biggest Chinese promoter and is in the search for theatrical productions that can be easily translated to a Chinese audience (in particular but not limited to musical theatre, dance, opera). www.juooo.com
If you have a show or a production running or that you have recently produced come and talk to David.

The Customer Is Always Wrong by Bill Aitchison
One of a kind artist, traveller and all round professional eccentric Bill Aitchison has been taking the citizenship test... in Southern China. Having performed his one-man show in Beijing, Shanghai and Xiamen, he returns to the UK with insights, dodgy translations and a lot of plastic. Performed in English and Mandarin.

Bitter Translation by Alexandre Ross a stage reading directed by Christopher O'donnell

Jennifer is the most beautiful and perfect girl in the world and for their anniversary, Tim has whisked his princess off to China for a romantic anniversary.
Is China really a romantic place for a pair of twenty-something Londers? Is 30 yuan a fair price for pride and revenge?
Written by a young new talent and based on his recent experience in Beijing, this dark comic play tells the story of an odd triangle – Jennifer, Tim and a ‘rickshaw-man’.

FOR HOW MUCH? (extracts)
Choreography: Annarita Mazzilli Music: Andy Higgs

Faceless ....distorted fingers reaching out to the skies... spinning coins on the ground...
Is this the cost of the goods we buy and consume? Is this the cost we do not have to pay?
Originally commissioned by the International Organisation for Migration U.K. (IOM) as part of their Buy Responsibly campaign this dance theatre piece takes inspiration from the lives of the people who have worked under forced labour in India, Africa, South America and parts of Europe and from the sculptures by London-based artist May Ayres and her critique of consumerism and capitalism.
