how The Space has created a diverse summer programme for

by Jon Massey

The best things in life are free, at least, according to The Beatles and who are we to disagree? Canary Wharf Group has teamed up with The Space arts centre on the Isle Of Dogs to create a programme of open-access theatre at the amphitheatre atop the Elizabeth Line station.

Running from June 12 to August 28, the theatrical element of the estate’s Alfresco Arts festival will see audiences regaled with twists on classics, social commentary and history as the six shows play out.

The season kicks off on June 12 with Matchstick Theatre Company’s Hits And Pieces: Heroes (Pride Special), a snappily entitled entertainment featuring short plays inspired by David Bowie’s seminal 1977 hit that celebrate LGBTQIA+ culture.

However, our pick for the early run is Ginzel’s Little Cordoba. Penned by playwright, poet and queer activist Rena Brannan, The Vindicate Theatre Company’s production follows a pair of young homeless men in the 16th century as they team up to rob, cheat, fight and

generally cavort their way to London via a pilgrim trail. On arrival the duo indulge in much swindling and grifting as they work to save up for their dream ticket to Venice. However, their dodgy deeds see them gradually drawn deeper into the orbit of a treacherous gang land leader who makes them choose between radicalisation or death.

While that might be enough for most plays, Rena’s work then takes audiences a full half millennium into the future where the exploits of her protagonists are discussed by a pair of young men sat in a London cafe, who debate their lives, work and the meaning of it all. Following

drama on the

Crossrail Place Roof Garden

The programme kicks off with Hits And Pieces: Heroes (Pride Special) on June 12, with shows running dates through to August 28

on from a successful debut at the Edinburgh Fringe last year, the play arrives in a part of London with a long history of welcoming immigrants.

The venue itself is surrounded by plants that have been chosen specifically to reflect the parts of the world where the goods and people who came through West India Dock originated.

“The Space are proud to announce the Alfresco Arts: Theatre programme of outdoor events,” said a spokesperson for the organisation.

“Presented in partnership with Canary Wharf Group, we are sharing the best of established and emerging artists in the

beautiful Crossrail Place Roof Garden. Presented on mid-week evenings, these free performances are designed to make incredible art accessible to local residents and workers on The Wharf.”

The Space’s partnership with Canary Wharf Group dates back to the opening of Crossrail Place in 2015. The structure houses the Elizabeth Line station alongside a wide variety of restaurants, bars and businesses.

key details

Alfresco Arts: Theatre runs on various dates at Crossrail Place Roof Garden from June 12 to August 28. Shows start at 7pm and tickets are free, but should be booked to avoid disappointment.

The shows are programmed by The Space arts centre, located in Westferry Road on the Isle Of Dogs – a converted church that specialises in hosting new writing and also boasts a cafe and bar. Go to canarywharf.com or space.org.uk for more information

LEAR ALONE

July 17, 7pm

WUTHERING HEIGHTS

July 24-25, 7pm 120 minutes

OUR PICKS

Film Club

Canada Square Big Screens, free canarywharf.com

Canary Wharf’s film club is in full swing and there are some crackers coming up in June. First of all there’s Wes Anderson’s animated version of Fantastic Mr Fox (PG, June 15, 10.30am), which enjoys an east London link having been produced at Three Mills Island on the River Lea.

Also firmly in the classic bracket are high school comedy Clueless (12, Jun 16, 5pm) and far flung fantasy The Wizard Of Oz (U, Jun 17, 7pm), with Judy Garland rocking the ruby slippers after accidentally dispatcing a witch.

The Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (12, Jun 18, 7pm) perhaps lacks the punch of the first film but nevertheless remains one of the better sequels in the Marvel ouevre.

Disney does Day Of The Dead with Coco (PG, Jun 22, 10.30am) as the second to last weekend of the month gets going followed by But I’m

A Cheerleader (15, Jun 24, 7pm) delivering a meditation on growing up queer in high school with intolerant parents.

Rounding out the month are Groundhog Day (PG, June 25, 7pm) where Bill Murray must repeat events until he gets things right, How To Train Your Dragon (PG, Jun 29, 10.30am) for the kids and finally Wonka (PG, Jun 30, 5pm). The latter is a triumph of family entertainment that may well grow up to rival Mary Poppins in the hearts of youngsters born into its generation. Expect a potent ensemble cast including Paterson Joseph, who coincidentally is appearing in a show at Stratford East (P31)

how The Paradise Collection is a vibrant example of the kind of creativity taking place on the Wharf

by Jon Massey

Leah Ibrahim Sams’ Paradise Collection from her Power Of Women platform perhaps typifies the changing face of Canary Wharf. It’s tech, it’s fashion, it’s illustration, it’s female-led and it’s been created and launched on the east London estate.

Having swapped theatrical costume and set design for art and illustration due to the pandemic, Leah found success selling digital works as non-fungible tokens (NFTs). The move into tech came after her husband Jack also changed career, leaving the performing arts world to fight fires. There he discovered his colleagues’ passion for crypto assets and it sowed a seed.

“He showed my artwork, which is very female-orientated and empowered, to them and these burly men were saying they would buy it,” said Leah, who moved to the UK from Malaysia to study theatre arts at university.

“That was the rabbit hole that started my career in the digital art world. At the time I started selling NFTs it was a very male space – less than 10% were female collectors or artists.

“I launched a very femalefocused collection of works and they sold out within three hours and made more money than I did in a whole year selling on Etsy.

“At the time a lot of artists saw it as a way to make a living, often for the first time as digital creators.”

Leah’s success led to an exhibition at Adidas’ flagship London store as well as collaborations with the likes of Manchester City FC. While much of the hype has gone out of the NFT market, Leah is certain the tech that makes it work – an immutable record of the provenance and authenticity of a work stored on a blockchain to identify the owner of a piece – will continue to become an increasingly important part of our digital world.

“A lot of the people who came into NFTs to make a quick buck have all left,” said Leah, who lives on the Isle Of Dogs. “But what you’re left with is interesting people building interesting things, and that’s great, because it’s now easier to sift through and find amazing pieces.

“It’s definitely not perfect, but

the people who are working with this technology truly believe that it is going to be part of our everyday lives. When we first had the internet, there were a lot of sceptics and all sorts of companies building websites, but from that emerged the likes of Google and Facebook – all these goliaths.

“Provenance and authenticity are very important in the traditional art world, so having a public, digital record of works that cannot be changed is going to be really useful.

“The future is that NFTs will be rebranded – the technology will be there but in the background and it’s really important with regard to things like copyright that artists understand where the world is heading.

“At the moment we’re seeing cryptocurrency, AI, blockchain and NFTs all intermingling. It’s a really exciting space to be in because it’s the precursor to things that come next.

“Right now, just as in the traditional art world, there are a few artists making a mint in the digital space. Others are diversifying their income, but NFTs have significantly changed people’s attitude towards digital art – that it should be respected and people should be paid fairly for it.”

The launch of The Paradise Collection and Leah’s move into fashion, however, has more to do with a desire to keep creating than to find fresh markets for the things she makes.

“As we had a bit of money to invest, I thought we could just do the same old thing or we could do something different,” she said.

“This felt like it was a different iteration of what I’ve been working towards.

“All of my artwork has had a concentration on representation, culture and diversity – fashion has also been a huge part of that because of my history in theatre and costume.

“I’ve also always been drawing fashionable women, so this has been a dream since I was a kid, to be doing something with clothes.

“A friend of mine in the NFT space – Shreya Bhan – who started her career in fashion said that, when I was ready, we could do something together. She’s guided me through it and it’s been fascinating to see the correlation and some similarities with the

Price of a silk scarf from The Paradise Collection by Power Of Women’s Leah Sams £25

work I was doing in costume with the pattern cutting elements, use of silhouettes and how fabric falls on the body.

“Lots of people have bought my artwork, but there’s something different in buying and wearing a garment to something that lives on a screen or a wall as a print.

“I feel like my customers are wearing my works and that’s quite a responsibility to have, which is why it’s been a long process to fine-tune and curate the collection.

“Designing on fabric is very different from working on an iPad – it’s been a huge learning curve. I started off with a budget and had to figure out how to create a diverse line that worked financially but was also an extension of a brand that had only existed as artworks before.

“Now it’s coming into the physical world, how do you represent it? How do I link it back to my art?”

Comprising unisex shirts, wrap dresses and tiered dresses, The Paradise Collection features three vibrant prints on cotton as well as colourful designs on a trio of silk scarves. But, tying in with Leah’s wider brand, there’s more to the pieces than their physical existence.

“Each piece has a chip that I’ve sewn into it, which can be scanned with a phone,” said Leah.

“I hope I will always make sustainable collections and the point of the chips is that people can own the garment on the blockchain, see where it’s come from, what it’s made of and how to care for it.

“But it’s also a connection to me – the person who’s made it – so that it means more than something you might buy from a big brand.

““It’s been a dream since I was a little girl to design my own clothes. To be able to launch my own collection of garments 20 years on is both surreal and empowering.

“Every aspect of this collection from the colour of each button, to the digital experience that comes with each garment, has been designed with love and care.

“I hope that anyone who wears a Power of Women garment will feel like they are wearing a piece of art.

“I think what’s also important is that I can always update the digital experience any time. It feels personal that people can have a connection to me via the Web3 space where The Paradise Collection was born – what I’ve created so far and all the work I’ve done to make that happen.

“I chose to launch the collection

at Grind in Canary Wharf’s Market Halls because it’s where I do a lot of my drawing.

“I have a studio at home on the Isle Of Dogs, but this is where I choose to get away from that.

“Since creating Power Of Women in the Web3 space, I’ve met a few London artists, so we have sketching and coffee gatherings and it felt really right to have our launch party there.

“I also wanted to showcase that there are creators here. The Canary Wharf community is enriching and the more we can showcase that, the more we will all benefit from it.

“All of the professional shots for the collection were done at The Vow Studio in Wood Wharf. It was the perfect location to do that and taking everyone for lunch locally after was just lovely.

“There’s something about birthing this collection here because there is an entrepreneurial aspect to doing that – Canary Wharf has a corporate reputation but there’s also a residential side to it that’s more community based.

“Launching here and celebrating all the people who have worked on it just felt really right.

“I get where the estate’s reputation comes from but I think things have shifted. It’s more of a place to hang around now and it’s very exciting. I love the buildings and all of the greenery.

“I have been very unapologetic about my art and I don’t want to be apologetic about my fashion. I’ve created pieces that are bold and colourful and I hope people will look at them and think they’re something a bit different.”

how Mudchute Park And Farm’s morning Animal Experience Sessions offer fully up-close access

by Jon Massey

As cultural assets go, Mudchute Park And Farm is pretty special. Less than 15 minutes’ walk from Canary Wharf, at the heart of the Isle Of Dogs, one of Europe’s largest city farms boasts 32 acres of open space arranged around a former anti-aircraft battery dating from the Second World War.

Inhabiting its elds and spaces are more than 100 animals including pigs, sheep, goats, cows, ducks, geese, chickens, rabbits, and even llamas. Many are examples of rare breeds, which the farm has a particular

focus on. While its elds and enclosures are free to visit, with many locals making detours to check in on the animals while commuting, there are other ways to get close to the livestock.

Mudchute o ers Animal Experience Sessions on weekend mornings for groups of up to four to meet the furry, woolly and feathered inhabitants of the farm.

Supervised children aged ve and over can get halfhour sessions with rabbits, guinea pigs and poultry, while those aged 10 or more can get in the elds with sheep, goats or donkeys.

Booking is essential for these experiences and as a charity the farm operates a no-refunds policy due to

limited resources. Terms and conditions apply.

key details

Animal Experience Sessions are currently available on Saturday and Sunday mornings, for a maximum of four people (one of whom must be an adult).

Experiences last half an hour or 45 minutes for donkeys. The minimum age for small animals is ve and for large animals 10. Prices start at £35 for two people. Go to mudchute.org for details

for help

be hard due to certain limiting, false beliefs we hold about ourselves

Of all the commonplace marvels of smartphones, I think I’m most blown away by the convenience of having a perfect map in my pocket. It eliminates the need to ask for directions. Oh, the shame. It’s a cliché that men don’t like to ask for directions, but why is it so often true?

It’s just hard to ask for help sometimes – and not just for men. Everyone might feel on occasion that they can’t bother someone else with their problems or that they’re supposed to be stronger and more independent than they are.

Despite this, there has been research to suggest that helping bene ts both the helper and the recipient – people generally like to feel supportive and supported. If you nd it hard to ask for help, it’s important to understand why. There might be certain limiting beliefs or bad experiences holding you back from getting support.

Firstly, what are your negative associations with asking for help?

Do you think it makes you look weak? Have you had bad experiences of asking for help in the past? Maybe you had a sibling that was more needy than you and your role in the family was to be the independent one?

Are you extremely self critical? You might have the belief that you’re not worthy of help or that you’re being stupid, somehow

David Lefebvre Sell

Are you extremely self critical? You might have the belief that you’re not worthy of help, or that you’re being stupid, somehow. Maybe you have a self sacri cing narrative, where you believe you always have to put other people before yourself and getting your own needs met seems sel sh.

Even though these beliefs might be based on your experiences, they are untrue in most cases. Examine your limiting beliefs and be critical of them. When you come to the realisation you need help, try writing down what your expectations are and who you can ask. It won’t always work out, but every good experience will help undo your negative associations with reaching out.

how a £1.6million grant for Cody Dock’s Lighting Up The Lea project will help carry a cargo of heritage into the future

by Jon Massey

The Cody Dock project has many facets to it.

Central to its plans are the twin aims of returning what was an abandoned industrial wasteland to community use lon side efforts to oost nd study the local ecology.

But there’s also Gasworks Dock Partnership’s mission to preserve and celebrate Newham’s rich heritage – a project that recently received a massive shot in the arm.

In 18 months’ time, walkers along the River Lea cutting throu h ody oc ill find singular structure in front of them.

Beside the rolling bridge and The Growing Space – now used to rear much of the project’s plant life – a new heritage centre will be created.

Lighting Up The Lea has won a £1.6million grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund, which will see a glass walled pavilion built on the site covered by a rather unusual roof – a former Welsh lifeboat.

The vessel is not, however, just a convenient lozenge of timbers and iron to protect visitors from the elements. It boasts a remarkable, historic link to Newham, making it perhaps the most appropriate of structures to help protect the history of the area.

“Just before the Olympics in 2012, we were approached by a bunch of West Ham football fans who knew that the club was going to move to the London Stadium in Stratford,” said Simon Myers, Gasworks Dock Partnership and mastermind of the Cody Dock project.

“They knew the club originated at the Thames Ironworks, which once owned land at the mouth of the River Lea when its managing director, Arnold Hills, helped

found a football club to help improve the health of its workers.

“The fans had bought a boat that had been built by the company, thinking that the London Legacy Development Corporation would agree to use it as part of a museum next to the new stadium dedicated to the history of West Ham and the Ironworks. However, they weren’t successful in securing funding or a site – even though it was a good idea – and they approached us initially just to store the boat.

“Years passed and nothing really happened except a second boat turned up that in an even orse st te th n the first. E entu lly they offered them to us for scrap.”

However, Simon and the team were not about to simply discard the craft. Instead, a plan was slo ly h tched to sho off t le st one of the craft in all its glory and preserve it for future generations.

“My thought was that, if we’re going to do something with these boats, it’s because we want to tell their story,” said Simon.

“It’s not about getting them in the water – we’ve got plenty of boats here for that. So why not restore one, turn it upside down and use it as a roof of a structure with glass walls?

“That way people will get to see the exterior of the boat from outside and the interior when inside. You’ll have this beautiful cathedral ceiling and see all of the internal structure.”

The Frederick Kitchen, named in honour of a former lifeboat master, is not just an elegant architectural solution. Having won funding to carry out a feasibility study – a precursor to the £1.6million award – the Gasworks Dock Partnership engaged in an extensive programme of research into her history.

It turns out, she may have been the very last vessel to leave the Ironworks, which closed in 1912.

“We think she may have been the last to leave – we do know she was one of a strin of fi e o ts th t eren t finished when the works closed, although she was completed and became a Watson class lifeboat stationed at Beaumaris from 1914 to 1945.

“The closure marked the end of major shipbuilding on the Thames.

“Her hull is made from Honduran mahogany with a steam-bent interior frame of oak with a keel of solid iron that runs along her entire length and weighs as much as the rest of her put together.

“She’s really the pinnacle of timber shipbuilding – designed at the crossover between pulling and sailing vessels and motorised craft, so she has some adaptations including an encased propeller to avoid it being fouled by nets and rigging, which wouldn’t want if you were engaged in a rescue.

“Then there’s the arrival of industry, which saw the local population increase from 4,000 to around 250,000 in about 50 years.

“Frankly we would need an Amazon-size warehouse to cover all the heritage we have and we reckon we could go for 30 years without repeating a topic with quarterly exhibitions in our multi-functional, multi-purpose

“The likes of West Ham and Tate & Lyle have fantastic archives that are not on show to the public so it would be amazing to feature pieces from those collections. We have so many plans. It will take 18 months to restore the boat and we’ll be re-landscaping the site of the building at the same time.

“A few years after she was launched, new technologies came in with the use of plywood and then fi re l ss nd l stic. She was the last of her kind.”

The full grant will be used over three years, with 18 months to prepare the ground for the new structure and restore Frederick Kitchen to her former glory – the latter project being headed up by Simon’s son, Tom.

The money will also cover a rolling programme of events centred around Newham heritage with the space eventually used to host quarterly exhibitions.

“For a long time now, in addition to the ecology, which is really special, we’ve felt that one of the selling points of this area is the heritage of the Lea,” said Simon. “One of the things that’s always struck us is that, apart from the House Mill, Newham doesn’t have any museums – certainly not ones that reflect the ider herit e of the area. There’s such a rich seam of history here, whether it’s the Lea

“We’ll be doing outdoor exhibitions for Lighting Up The Lea during that period as well as working with the community and participants on our education programmes to gather more stories and local history.

“When our heritage programme launches, our plan is that one quarter will be dedicated to ecology, one to social heritage, one to industrial heritage and the last to miscellaneous aspects of history.”

ground, to know what everyone’s thinking and planning. It’s also to be out in the community, being really visible, talking to people and hearing what their priorities are so I can help create links.”

Having studied drama at university, Tamsin initially headed for the classroom after realising that acting and “being a Spice Girl” weren’t really for her. But life as a teacher wasn’t right either and she wound up working for small arts centres instead.

“I was engaging with children and young people and through that found out about this kind of role – developing ways to get different udiences in ol ed nd to unlock and learn from their creativity,” she said. “I love it when the magic comes together and something you hadn’t thought possible is created.”

After more than a decade doing just that at the Southbank entre im lementin festi l methodology to create the feel of a bustling port city at arts venues by programming around central themes” – and roles at the useum f he ome in Shored itch and at the London College Of Fashion, she’s come to East n to hel fulfil its 2 12 le cy promise.

All fi e of our institutions h e ot u lic f cin ro r mmes and my job is to connect the dots,” she said. “We’re all talking all the time. It’s about collaboration, sharing resources and ideas, and it’s also about embedding ourselves in the community.

“It’s also about being open with our priorities and aims, and properly connecting with people who are living and working here.

“Over the last seven years, the organisations have all been building links with key partners such as schools to build programmes that respond to the needs and values of the people locally. Ultimately, we want isitors students nd st ff to e le to n i te E st n s fi e buildings and understand how they connect to each other.

“In 10 years’ time I would love to see l r e sc le ro r mmin across all of the organisations that builds on their amazing creativity and skills.

“I think this place can be as successful as the Southbank Centre – there will be enough for everyone here – but I think they re t o ery different offers.

“There’s a magic about coming to this part of the city with its usy ustlin sho in e eri ence t estfield nd then E st Bank for culture and creativity.

“I think if we get the local story right and have a programme that is relevant to the community then we’ll get the world right too.

of events that really do mean something.”

While University College London and the London College Of Fashion are up and running, something of a watershed moment is coming for the project with the opening of Sadler’s Wells East later this year.

h t ill e the first of our cultural partners to have an offerin s rt of the ni ht time economy and it will be really exciting to see how the evening shows and workshops change this space,” said Tamsin. “Sadler’s ells h s lso ot its hi ho academy opening, so we’ll have 16 to 1 ye r olds le rnin nd r ctisin on site.

“The building has been designed with an outside and inside feel, so we’re hoping people will get the idea of dance tumbling out into the public realm and people will come to see the next generation of dancers performing or warming up.

“I’m really excited about this summer because this is the time we’re really starting to build that excitement and buzz – that East Bank is a place you can come and bump into amazing art and ideas.

“It’s a bit of a taster of what’s to come as we build and grow towards total opening by the end of 2025.

“It’s exhilarating and I can’t wait to see how it feels when all fi e or nis tions re o en.

“You might be walking from o er to the Str tford ter front and know you’ve got a BBC orchestra rehearsing in one of the studios, a big exhibition at V&A East, dancers performing on the community d nce floor outside Sadler’s Wells East and a fashion show being cooked up at the London College Of Fashion.

“I want everyone who comes here to feel that same sense of excitement and pride we all felt around the 2012 Games themselves.”
