London

Independent Dance (ID) supports the development of dance through radical enquiry, learning, community-building and audience engagement. Based at Siobhan Davies Studios in London, ID is a research engine and ‘home’ organisation for a growing community of practitioners in the UK and around the world. It has been artist and female-led since 1984. Our public programme supports a wide range of accessible and interdisciplinary approaches to dance, somatics, improvisation and choreography. Co-designed with UK/ international artists and partner organisations, this far-reaching programme includes classes, talks, workshops, research, digital initiatives and festivals. ID also bridges higher education and professional spheres, leading on MA/MFA Creative Practice: Dance Professional in partnership with Trinity Laban and Siobhan Davies Studios. Our aim is to generate a diverse and dynamic ‘community of practice’ which is not limited to one place or location and to agitate for positive change and justice within ID, the arts and society. Independent Dance is proud to be part of an ongoing National Portfolio Organisation consortium led by Siobhan Davies Studios, supported using public funding by Arts Council England.

Haverstock Fencing Club

London

Haverstock Fencing Club was formed in 1995 by a committee of epee fencers from London clubs who wanted to establish a centre of excellence in North London. They quickly managed to gain a reputation on two levels, namely as a place for elite fencers to train for the competition circuit, and secondly as a friendly but professional environment for children and adults to learn how to fence. The evidence of their success speaks for itself. Haverstock fencers have a fearsome reputation on the competition circuit, with many current and former national champions training there, male and female. Haverstock has been the dominant force in British epee fencing almost since it was established. Indeed, when top fencers arrive in London from abroad, Haverstock is normally their first port of call. More importantly, Haverstock has always seen itself as a progressive club, open to all, with a particular emphasis on children and the local community. Beginners courses are often oversubscribed and many of those that went through the early courses are now well regarded on the senior circuit. Haverstock coaches take great pride in the ability of their young protégés, and the club has also catered for disabled fencers. Costs are kept low to ensure the sport is open to all. The club has two full-time coaches (with World and European Championship experience) and two part-time coaches, who take care of all newcomers, giving them a solid grounding in the basic skills required, teaching in a fun but challenging way. Haverstock is one of the best equipped clubs in the country, with plenty of kit for beginners to use for free while they decide whether the sport is for them. Training takes place three nights a week, with a mix of group lessons, individual lessons and fitness work to cater for all levels. We also run popular training camps and weekend courses. The Chairman and committee are dedicated to continuing to cater for both the elite competitors who have so enhanced the reputation of the club as well as newcomers to the sport, along with the many children and adults who are now “hooked” on fencing, having had their introduction to it at Haverstock.

EXPERIENCE ACACIA The graceful Acacia (a-cay-sha) tree, commonly known as the wattle, instantly conjures up images of Australia. As our national floral emblem, the Golden Wattle emblazons the Australian Coat of Arms and its green foliage and gold flowers are the inspiration for our national sporting colours. That’s why we have chosen the Acacia flower to represent our passion for Australia and the great state of Victoria. Acacia Luxury Private Tours offers exclusive private travel experiences in Melbourne and throughout regional Victoria. Drawing upon extensive local knowledge and our relationships with a vast network of providers, we have carefully fashioned unique itineraries designed to showcase the very best each region has to offer. Through a process of consultation, we gain an understanding of our clients’ own personal interests and willingly tailor itineraries to meet their discerning needs. That’s the beauty of bespoke private travel. So why choose Acacia? It’s simple really. We are all about unsurpassed service, safety, and total commitment to making a visit to our beautiful state a memorable one. It’s the added touches, or “magic moments” as we like to call them, that set Acacia apart from our rivals. A glass of champagne as our guests watch the sunset over the Twelve Apostles, a behind-the-scenes tasting of a back vintage hosted by the winemaker herself, or a picnic of local produce in the glorious surrounds of the Australian bush. At Acacia, we select only the finest restaurants, cellar doors, and providores to form the heart of your unforgettable experience. But in the end, it’s the friendships we forge with our clients along the way that are the true testament of our dedication.
