  • Remarkable Highgate Women a Joint Project Between the HLSI and Photographer Ruth Corney
    Remarkable Highgate Women A joint project between the HLSI and photographer Ruth Corney This exhibition has developed from a project begun in the HLSI Archives to document the many Highgate women, aged 80 or more, who have made their mark on their community or further afield. They all deserve our notice, have done remarkable things and have lived life to the full. Working women, refugees, social activists, scientists, mothers, teachers, actors or writers – we want to know about them and to celebrate them. Hilary Laurie, HLSI I have long been fascinated by the faces of older women and have loved photographing them. Over the last 2 years, I have photographed 18 wonderful women. It has been a joy to meet them, to talk to them and to find out about their lives. I have found their positivity, resilience, vivacity, wisdom and generosity of spirit inspiring. Ruth Corney Eva Alberman Eva was born in Berlin in August 1929. When her father, a doctor, lost his job in 1933 the family left for London. Their house in Golders Green quickly became home to other family members. Eva was evacuated with a cousin to Bath to live with her father’s sister and her husband, the writer Stefan Zweig. In 1943 she was brought back home – ‘just in time for the rockets, but this didn’t worry me.’ At St Paul’s Girls’ School she took up the cello and ‘had lots of music and good friends’. She studied medicine at Newnham College, Cambridge and continued her training at the London Hospital, qualifying in 1955 with a first-class degree.

  • Introduction to Ecovenue Ecovenue Is a Signifi Cant Theatre-Specifi C Environmental Project Being Run by the Theatres Trust
    Introduction to Ecovenue Ecovenue is a signifi cant theatre-specifi c environmental project being run by The Theatres Trust. It aims to improve the environmental performance of forty-eight London theatres and raise awareness of how to make theatres greener. Ecovenue is promoting the sustainability of theatres and the reduction of carbon emissions through the provision of free theatre-specifi c, environmental advice. The project started in 2009 and runs until 2012. Forty-eight venues each undergo an Environmental Audit, and receive a Display Energy Certifi cate (DEC) and Advisory Report. They track their energy use through SMEasure. Each venue receives a second DEC a year after their fi rst to measure progress. Ecovenue includes a ‘DEC Pool’ of performing arts venues across the UK that have obtained DECs. The DEC Pool helps us to evaluate the project and share best practice and information, establish meaningful benchmarks, and provide a better understanding of energy use of theatres. Any theatre can join the DEC Pool. The Trust’s Theatres Magazine provides quarterly reports on the participants and the work of the Ecovenue project. The Theatres Trust Ecovenue project receives fi nancial support from the European Regional Development Fund.

  • Cav and Pag Came Very Early in My Operatic Education
    HAMPSTEAD GARDEN OPERA www.hgo.org.uk Charity No. 1092649 JACKSONS LANE THEATRE, HIGHGATE, LONDON N6 5AA CAVALLERIA RUSTICANA By Mascagni Best Opera Production and Winner 2013 PAGLIACCI By Leoncavallo Finalist 2014/2015/2016 Translations by David Parry HGO’s first production at its new Highgate home. May 13th to 22nd, 2016 Stage Director: Bruno Ravella • Music Director: Oliver John Ruthven • With the HGO Orchestra May 13th to 22nd, at their new home at Jacksons Lane Theatre in Highgate, Hampstead Garden Opera will present the classic double bill of passion and revenge, Mascagni’s Cavalleria Rusticana and Leoncavallo’s Pagliacci, in an exciting new concept developed by Bruno Ravella. This will be the world premiere of a new English translation for Cavalleria Rusticana by the eminent conductor David Parry. ‘We are thrilled to be mounting our first production at Jacksons Lane, a more comfortable and better equipped venue, and a better singing space than we have previously enjoyed’ says Chairman Roger Sainsbury. Cavalleria Rusticana and Pagliacci are, in a sense, the twin peaks of a new style of opera which took Italy by storm in the early 1890s. It was quickly labelled ‘verismo’ after an Italian literary style of the period though in truth there are not many operas to which the term can accurately be applied. The characters are ordinary village folk, far removed from the historic and Shakespearean dramas of Verdi and the epics of Wagner. Passion and emotion are central, and the idea of jilted or lost love often plays a part. It has also been said of it that "in verismo opera, the knife is never very far away." This is certainly true of both Cavalleria Rusticana and Pagliacci.

  • London Borough of Haringey Future of Housing Review
    London Borough of Haringey Future of Housing Review A report to the Cabinet of Haringey Council September 2015 Page 1 of 18 Members of the Future of Housing Review Alan Strickland Chair David Beacham Haringey Liberal Democrat councillor Barbara Blake Haringey Labour councillor Joseph Ejiofor Haringey Labour councillor Jennifer Mann Haringey Labour councillor Mabel Obeng Haringey Council tenant Advisers to the Future of Housing Review Julian Wain Lead Independent Adviser David Hall Financial Adviser Catherine Illingworth Housing Programme Transformation Manager David Chong-Ping M.E.L Research Ltd Secretariat Sean Ramdin Business and Data Analyst Judy Wills Minutes and administration Page 2 of 18 Foreword Providing good quality affordable homes is one of the most important issues facing our borough and one of the most difficult challenges facing London. As a council we have a major direct role in housing, providing homes to 17,000 families. This is a responsibility we take very seriously. It is vital that the Council ensures that our tenants, and our future tenants, have safe, modern and decent homes of which they, and we, can be proud. Our homes are currently managed by Homes for Haringey on behalf of the council. As Homes for Haringey’s contract expires in 2016, we have taken the opportunity to take a step back and think afresh about how our homes should be managed and improved. We are aware that there are a variety of views about how council homes should be managed. Our clear guiding principle has been to do what’s best for local residents. The focus of the Review Group’s work has been to work out which option will bring the best homes for the future for our tenants.

  • Report: How Can Arts Venues Be More Age Friendly and Make Work with Older People More Sustainable
    Report: How can arts venues be more age friendly and make work with older people more sustainable Introduction Barings tasked us with researching what theatre venues are doing to widen participation among the elderly. To achieve this outcome we talked to professionals about how engaging with the arts can be a health benefit for older people. We also visited seven participating venues in London to see various arts programmes in action. We amassed comment from participants as well as those leading the projects, with a view to sharing good practice and encouraging other arts organisations to consider introducing or improving a programme for the older age group - categorised as aged 55 plus. We specifically asked: what is going well and how has this been achieved; what are the challenges and barriers when working with an older age group; thoughts for the future? This qualitative research focussed particularly on the practical issues in creating a suitable space and welcoming ‘age friendly’ environment for more elderly people; for some organisations, working in outreach in care settings is the preferred alternative. The report also considers sustainability of projects and the importance of quantifiable evidence of the benefits to end users, including those isolated by dementia, living alone or in care settings. It highlights initiatives taken by each venue as a step towards pooling ideas and suggesting solutions to problems peculiar to this age group. Brief overview of programmes at each venue Albany Theatre hosts ‘Meet Me at The Albany’ each week in Deptford, Lewisham, with 20- year-old Entelechy Arts delivering various artistic activities, ranging from singing to model making.
