Join us for an exclusive weekend, when children and young people from across London will take over and run the Foundling Museum, which will be transformed into an 18th century fair.
Conceived and directed by award-winning artist, Yinka Shonibare MBE, the Museum will be stepping back in time as children dressed in costumes of the period will be in charge of everything from acting as guides and selling tickets, to creating entertainments for visitors. They will be the teachers enacting lessons based on those taught to the original foundling children in the 18th century: singing, needlework, catechism and writing. The lessons will be attended by leading figures from London’s cultural community acting as pupils in their classroom.
Free day-long outdoor events based on the themes of the 18th century fairground, will involve puppet shows, magic demonstrations, music.
Yinka Shonibare MBE, describes the Back to Front Weekend as, “A deliberately contrary project in which the institution will literally be taken over by children. The Foundling Museum has historically provided children with education and accommodation, the Back to Front Weekend will present a shift in power relations between those who have traditionally used the institution and those who have run the institution.”
Yinka has been selected as this year’s Foundling Fellow in the visual arts, awarded in the name of William Hogarth. The Foundling Fellowships are supported by the Clore Duffield Foundation.
Ticket for indoor sessions £10 adults, accompanied children free
Two sessions daily: 11:00 – 13:00 and 14:00 – 16:00. Free outdoor entertainments all day
To book an indoor session call 020 7841 3600 or drop into the Museum. Sessions and outdoor entertainments finish at 16:00 but the Museum will remain open for visitors until 18:00.

Twelfth Night returns to the London Fringe scene with a Swivel Theatre Production. After the astounding success of Othello last year, Swivel are back and the twist is even bigger...
This production sets the country of Illyria in 1920s Morocco, giving a whole new resonance to the play. Viola washes ashore a country where a woman must dress as a man in order to work and to earn money. Set in the searing heat of North Africa, where men and women’s roles in society are very strictly defined, this comedy of errors will be presented in a whole new context. We will explore questions of
gender identity and sexual ambiguity in a rich and vibrant cultural setting.
Swivel’s unique interpretation will be a feast of live music, traditional dance and raucous laughter.

ALBUM “THE POLITICS OF ENVY” RELEASED 26 MARCH 2012

Mark Stewart has announced UK dates in support of his eagerly awaited album “The Politics Of Envy” (released via Future Noise Music on 26th of March).

“We’re out to wreck havoc, mash-up the bass bins and throttle the guitars, this time it’s war” says Mark.

Described by the Wire as “always in search of forbidden marriages between alien forms”, for these shows, Mark has personally plucked from the underground Arkell & Hargreaves (True Tiger), the tightest splatter punk psyche-funk rhythm section. The band delivers an apocalyptic sub-bass, swirling in a melange of post-punk guitar courtesy of Dan Catsis (The Pop Group, Glaxo Babies), topped by Mark’s clarion call of dissent.

“His Orchestration is so dirty that I have to wash my hands after turning over the pages of his scores” (Mendelssohn on Berlioz)

Berlioz was never one to do things by halves, and Romeo & Juliet is probably one of his most ambitious ever projects – the first performance had an orchestra of over 100, a chorus of 101 voices, plus soloists.

It is a passionate, lush piece which pushed the limits of what an orchestra could do, its vivid and dramatic scene-setting upstages that of many operas, and this rare performance of the piece by a period-instrument orchestra is an event not to be missed.

First one to mix Brazilian music with eletronic beats, back in the 90's, Fernanda is considered by Brazil's media and public as the first composer whose electronic rhythms became popular on radio, direct responsible to open the way for many other projects.

She produced music with names as DJ Marky and DJ Patife, and Chico Buarque and her first album sold more than 120 thousand copies and became a double gold CD. Guanabara is absolutely proud to present FERNANDA PORTO to open a series of top shows on your stage during 2012.
