<^]S^]" !"6TbcXeP[ Ofﬁcial guide 21 June to 9 September Welcome to the London 2012 Festival! When the UK won the bid for the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, we promised that this ‘once in a lifetime’ event would include a great cultural programme that could involve people nationwide. When we are asked why, we go back to the example of Ancient Greece, where the Olympic Games included artists as well as athletes. As recently as the London 1948 Games, artists were awarded medals along with the athletes. This Festival has invited artists from all over the world to create amazing events from Shetland to Cornwall, from Enniskillen to Edinburgh, from Hackney to Hadrian’s Wall – with more than 10 million FREE opportunities to take part.

The Festival would not be possible without our cultural and community partners throughout the UK. But most of all, it simply would not have happened without our great funding partners and sponsors. We offer our huge thanks to them for what we hope will be a fantastic Festival for the Olympic and Paralympic Games. 9]bXSTcWTVdXST 5 Have a fabulous Festival 6 The Director’s cut Director Ruth Mackenzie gives a taste of the Seb Coe Tony Hall Festival programme Chair, London 2012 Chair, Cultural Organising Committee Olympiad Board 8 Where will you be on 21 June?

Peace Camp is just one of the ways you can participate in the London 2012 Festival – and experience one of its most powerful themes: the appeal for global truce. Eight glowing encampments are appearing simultaneously at beautiful and remote coastal locations around the UK – from County Antrim to the tip of Cornwall, from the Isle of Lewis to the Sussex cliffs. A collaboration by renowned director Deborah Warner and actress Fiona Shaw, the installations are designed to be visited between dusk and dawn, and feature the audible murmuring of love poetry from within the tents. You can contribute to Peace Camp online by nominating your favourite love poems, and submitting your own message to create an online anthology that celebrates our rich poetic tradition.

It’s being staged in a former warehouse in Birmingham and will feature a string quartet streamed live from four flying helicopters. The much-anticipated world premiere of Karlheinz Stockhausen’s Mittwoch aus Licht promises to be a musical and theatrical revelation. The most significant 20th-century composer of electronic music, Stockhausen regarded Mittwoch as his masterpiece. He is reputed to have prayed daily for its first complete performance in order to spread its message of love and collaboration through the central characters Eve, Lucifer and Michael. This production by Birmingham Opera Company will be the first time all six parts of the opera have been staged together. Mittwoch aus Licht / Wednesday from Light, page 69

In 1901 a mosaic by Walter Crane was planned, but was deemed too pricey and the gallery’s entrance remained unadorned. That was until the London 2012 Festival helped commission the new work from the Tony Cragg’s Cass (page 42) – outdoor sculptures on Exhibition Road, London and in Goodwood, West Sussex Turner Prize-winning artist.

In 2014 the Commonwealth Games will give Scottish arts a chance to shine. London 2012 organisers have been working with Scottish partners on artistic projects starting in 2012 and building up to 2014.

Welcome Rio In 2016, Rio de Janiero, Brazil, hosts the next Olympic and Paralympic Games, and for many artists from Brazil and the UK, the artistic journey starts in the London 2012 Festival. In Rio Occupations London, 30 Rio artists burst on to the streets of the capital for an exuberant 30-day residency of art, music, dance, theatre, ﬁlm and poetry. Brazilian legend Gilberto Gil and his friends inspire young UK musicians in Back2Black, and great carnival artists work together for the ﬁrst time from the Isle of Wight to Tyneside. This includes the world’s leading disabled carnival troupe from Rio, inspiring UK carnival audiences and artists in 2012 and looking forward to 2016. So London 2012 is delighted to wish Rio 2016 ‘boa noite e boa sorte’ – that’s goodnight, and good luck.
