About Drumbeat
‘Drumbeat-Heartbeat’ has been under development as an International Festival of Percussion for many years. A draft artistic policy has been prepared. The upsurge of interest for the London Olympics 2012 has led to a new vision for Drumbeat. This blog shares some of the inspiration for a major festival for London 2012.
Recent discussions with the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham(LBBD) and London Borough of Newham (LBN) has led to interest in a proposal to start with a more local and modest festival to be presented as a part of MOLTEN, Barking and Dagenham’s Arts Festival to be held in October 2006. A dedicated festival for Newham is to be developed at a later stage.
Other London boroughs will be invited to join Drumbeat Heartbeat over the next few years, leading to a highly visible and exciting programme for 2012 and beyond.
I am pleased to share the outcomes of an extensive artsitic policy development project with new partners. Original work was carried by Roger Watson and myself, with funding from Southern Arts.
This web log outlines major aspirations for developing a dedicated and organised approach for meeting our objectives.
