Run entirely by volunteers led by Kay Salter, the club operates from Hurstmere School in Sidcup.

Our oldest gymnasts at the moment is 38. Those who enjoy gymnastics for the pure fun of it are welcome, but the club is also active competitively. Falcon Spartak is a small friendly gymnastics club.

  • Ofcom Complaint Assessment
    OfcomOfcom Broadcast Preliminary and On Demand View Bulletin Published 17 September 2020 Britain’s Got Talent Type of case Broadcast Standards Outcome Not Pursued Service ITV Date & time 5 September 2020, 20:00 Category Protection of children/generally accepted standards/dangerous behaviour/due impartiality Summary This programme included a performance by the British dance group Diversity which represented the events of 2020, including the Coronavirus pandemic and global anti-racism protests. We concluded that the programme did not raise issues which warranted investigation under the Broadcasting Code. Ofcom received approximately 24,5001 complaints about the above programme. Complainants outlined a range of concerns about Diversity’s performance, including that the themes of violence and racism were inappropriate for family viewing, that it expressed support for the political organisation ‘Black Lives Matter’ and that it was racist towards White people. Ofcom also received a number of messages of support and praise for the performance. Ofcom has assessed this programme against the relevant rules in the Broadcasting Code (“the Code”). Our assessment is that this programme did not raise any issues which warranted investigation. In our view, Diversity’s performance was an artistic expression of topical social issues and did not contain any content which was racist, unsuitably violent or otherwise inappropriate in the context of this programme. Given the significant publicity surrounding this case and the high volume of complaints received, we have decided to publish our reasons for this assessment. 1 As of 09:00 on 17 September 2020. 1 Introduction Britain’s Got Talent is a talent programme broadcast on ITV, which aims to find a new act from the general public to perform at the annual Royal Variety Performance and win a prize of £250,000.

  • Centre Stage the Pipeline of Bame Talent
    CENTRE STAGE THE PIPELINE OF BAME TALENT AndrewAndrew Lloyd Lloyd Webber Webber FoundationFoundation INTRODUCTION— hen I produced Bombay Dreams over a decade ago and was privileged Wto introduce the marvellous music of A R Rahman to a West End audience, one of our greatest difficulties was finding enough Asian actors. BAME diversity in the performing arts has once again been high on the agenda this year, from the runaway success of Hamilton on Broadway to the latest announcement from Arts Council England of £4.6 million to boost diversity. Very often the discussion is focussed on increasing the representation of diverse ethnicities on stage and this is crucially important. However, I’ve been acutely aware that one of the biggest issues is the lack of trained diverse talent coming through. Casting directors and theatre producers alike often complain that they’d like to cast more Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic performers but that they don’t get enough turning up to audition. Inspired by some of the success stories coming out of the Andrew Lloyd Webber Foundation’s scholarship programme – such as Emmanuel Kojo who is interviewed in these pages – the Foundation decided to commission this " I PASSIONATELY research. The aim was to come up with some positive recommendations that BELIEVE THAT can be adopted by people involved at every stage of the talent pipeline from THE STAGE NEEDS school to stage. TO REFLECT THE DIVERSITY OF THE UK I passionately believe that the stage needs to reflect the diversity of the POPULATION OR IT UK population or it risks becoming side-lined.

Latta, Ph.D. Abstract The focus of this ethnographic study is to examine the industry-wide culture of the American ballet. Two additional research questions guided the investigation: what attributes, and their light and dark dimensions, are valued among individuals selected for leadership roles within the culture, and how does the ballet industry nurture these attributes? An understanding of the culture was garnered through observations and interviews conducted in three classically-based professional ballet companies in the United States: one located in the Rocky Mountain region, one in the Midwestern region, and one in the Pacific Northwest region. Data analysis brought forth cultural and leadership themes revealing an industry consumed by “the ideal” to the point that members are willing to make sacrifices, both at the individual and organizational levels, for the pursuit of beauty. The ballet culture was found to expect its leaders to manifest the light dimensions of attributes valued by the culture, because these individuals are elevated to the extent that they “become the culture,” but they also allow these individuals to simultaneously exemplify the dark dimensions of these attributes.

  • ITV Diversity Acceleration Plan
    DIVERSITY ACCELERATION PLAN REPORT 2021 WELCOME CAROLYN MCCALL, CEO ITV Welcome to our report. A year ago, we committed to increasing investment, including appointing a new Diversity & Inclusion team, in order to accelerate the speed of change and increase representation on-screen, in our production teams and within our own workforce. Attracting the best talent from a wide range of backgrounds, creating an inclusive culture where all colleagues can flourish, and making programmes that appeal to wide and diverse audiences are all hugely important priorities to our business. I feel incredibly proud to work for ITV and this has been an extraordinary year. I would like to acknowledge the passion and commitment ITV colleagues have displayed to drive this agenda forward and particularly the hard work of and the important role that our colleague Network Groups have played. Lockdown made things harder to deliver on many fronts including some elements of this plan and there are further steps to reach all our targets. There is no doubting our commitment – we are also committed to measuring our progress and reporting publicly each year because we know that we will rightly be judged by actions rather than words. 2 INTRODUCTION ADE RAWCLIFFE, GROUP DIRECTOR DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION, ITV As a senior leader at ITV I know how essential it is for us to use our position in society to shape Britain’s culture whilst reflecting who we are; it’s a position of privilege and responsibility. ITV has a duty to remain relevant, successful and profitable. As custodians of an organisation which millions of British people have a close relationship and affinity with, we understand the importance of ensuring that ITV consistently lives up to their expectations.

Mather Character development is a central function of higher education. This phenomenological study describes Black women’s personal lived experiences with character development and ethical leadership development at Spelman College, America’s oldest historically Black college for women. The following research question guided the study: How do students at a historically Black women’s college describe their experiences with character development and ethical leadership development? The study also explored student’s thoughts about the academic and co-curricular programs that best prepared them to be ethical leaders. Interviews were conducted with 10 graduating seniors from the Class of 2014 Women of Excellence Leadership (WEL) series offered by the Center for Leadership and Civic Engagement at Spelman College. Eight alumnae members of the WEL program were also interviewed to provide their thoughts about character development and ethical leadership development.

  • Challenges for Marxism and Anti-Racism
    DEMOCRATIC MARXISM DEMOCRATIC MARXISM SERIES Series Editor: Vishwas Satgar The crisis of Marxism in the late twentieth century was the crisis of orthodox and van- guardist Marxism associated mainly with hierarchical communist parties, and imposed, even as state ideology, as the ‘correct’ Marxism. The Stalinisation of the Soviet Union and its eventual collapse exposed the inherent weaknesses and authoritarian mould of vanguardist Marxism. More fundamentally, vanguardist Marxism was rendered obsolete but for its residual existence in a few parts of the world, as well as within authoritarian national liberation movements in Africa and in China. With the deepening crises of capitalism, a new democratic Marxism (or democratic his- torical materialism) is coming to the fore. Such a democratic Marxism is characterised in the following ways: • Its sources span non-vanguardist grassroots movements, unions, political fronts, mass parties, radical intellectuals, transnational activist networks and parts of the progressive academy; • It seeks to ensure that the inherent categories of Marxism are theorised within constantly changing historical conditions to find meaning; • Marxism is understood as a body of social thought that is unfinished and hence challenged by the need to explain the dynamics of a globalising capitalism and the futures of social change; • It is open to other forms of anti-capitalist thought and practice, including cur- rents within radical ecology, feminism, emancipatory utopianism and indigenous thought; • It does not seek to be a monolithic and singular school of thought but engenders contending perspectives; • Democracy, as part of the heritage of people’s struggles, is understood as the basis for articulating alternatives to capitalism and as the primary means for con- stituting a transformative subject of historical change.

  • Purpose: Given the Historical Exclusion of U.S
    Purpose: Given the historical exclusion of U.S. Latinx visual art in major museums and collections, artists, scholars, curators, and patrons have taken grassroots measures to preserve the cultural contributions of Latinx artists by forming community art organizations, research centers, artist collectives, websites, and databases. However, to date, there does not exist a comprehensive list of where these entities exist, how they were formed, and who they serve. What are the organizations that actively support Latinx visual artists via funding, advocacy, and/or archival means on local, regional, and national levels? Furthermore, where is Latinx visual art supported online, in what ways, and by whom? In 2019, the Center for Comparative Studies in Race & Ethnicity (CCSRE) at Stanford University awarded two un- dergraduate students, Shannen Orquidia Torres and Miguel Samano, summer fellowships to research these questions with USLAF. Under Dr. Rose Salseda’s advisement (USLAF Associate Director; Assistant Professor, Art & Art His- tory, Stanford University), the two students developed the “List of Advocates for Latinx Art,” a resource provided by USLAF for scholars, researchers, and other parties interested in the long and ongoing legacy to support Latinx visual art in the United States.
