  • Hopcroft Plan
    Your Future Neighbourhood The Neighbourhood Plan For Crofton Park and Honor Oak Park (HopCroft Plan) July 2017 Pre -Submission Consultation Acknowledgements The Crofton Park and Honor Oak Park Pre-submission Neighbourhood Plan has been prepared by Changing Cities and Urban Silence on behalf of the HopCroft Neighbourhood Forum. This draft plan has also been made possible by the dedication of the Neighbourhood Forum Steering Group who have devoted many hours of volunteer time in making it happen. Neighbourhood Forum Contact Crofton Park and Honor Oak Park Neighbourhood Forum (HopCroft Forum) Web: http://croftonhonoroakpark.neighbourhood.space/ Consultation Portal: https://HopCroftforum.stickyworld.com/home FB: https://www.facebook.com/Crofton-Park-Honor-Oak-Park-Neighbourhood-Plan- 283970511803028/ Twitter: @HopCroftForum Email: [email protected] Page 2 of 89 Foreword – Cllr Pauline Morrison – Forum Chair I lived in Crofton Park between 1976 – 1982, when I ran a local pub – the General Napier. In 2010 I was elected as local councillor for the Crofton Park ward. I’ve seen it change in many ways through the years but the essence of the place remains. It is a vibrant, family-friendly local community with residents and businesses that care about their streets, facilities and green spaces. People are drawn to the area because of the variety of homes, the attractive Victorian and Edwardian streets, the parades of independent shops and eating places, the good transport connections, the local creative and cultural activities and the beautiful parks. We know the area will continue to change and many of the challenges that other areas of London face have not escaped us – congested roads, increasing housing costs and stretched local services.

  • Infinita at the Peacock Theatre CULTURE THEATRE
    Infinita at the Peacock Theatre CULTURE THEATRE 2ND FEBRUARY 2016 MICHELLE KEEPENCE “The loss of the face can be the beginning of a great freedom,” says Hago Schüler, director and performer of Infinita, in a recent interview. He goes on to explain the power of masks for both the artist and the spectator in the productions created by the Familie Flöz, and more specifically of Infinita, brought to England as part of 2016’s London International Mime Festival. Infinita’s masked characters are a fascinating spectacle that proves both mesmerising and inexplicably disturbing. Their use of exaggerated movement and hyperbolic gesture quickly dismisses the necessity of speech in the exploration of the most basic of human concepts: life and death. We are presented with characters at the beginning and the end of their lives, through which certain parallels are created, most notably between the physical extremes demonstrated by both babies and the elderly. Their relationships, despite having substantially developed over time, remain fundamentally the same as they move into the final stages of their lives, all of them experiencing love and loss. A series of sketches depicting mournful tragedy in one instance, and clown-esque slapstick comedy in the next, catapult the audience between fits of laughter and the unavoidable urge to cry. The music of the piece is a key tool used to transport us between the two extremes and create contrasting atmospheres, as well as provoking differing interactions between the characters. Interaction with the audience is encouraged, as one scene sees two babies playing with a giant ball that is batted in and out of the crowd, a scene particularly appreciated by the younger members of the audience.
