Judith Knight is co-director of Artsadmin, a producing and development organization for interdisciplinary artists based at Toynbee Studios London, which she founded in 1979. Increasingly Artsadmin has focused much of its work on climate change and more environmentally sensitive arts production.
Our attention was recently drawn to a new documentary narrated by "The Wire" actor Dominic West with a new soundtrack from Radiohead's Thom Yorke and Massive Attack's Robert Del Naja, receiving a London premiere just as the G8 rolls out of town in June.
Finding the entrance to Circus alone conjures images of illusion and mystique, making one feel they are attempting to enter a parallel world. Where I believed the venue to be, there were merely two ominous, black doors staring back at me. Did I tap on a brick to get the doors to open? Would a talking bullfrog appear and pose me a riddle which intimated one of the doors led to inevitable doom?
My first impression of London’s sweeping views was from watching the performance of ‘Chim Chim Cher-ee’ in Mary Poppins. I think it poignantly captured that enchantingly hazy quality that pervades through a London vista at sunset if, albeit, giving a false representation of how easy it is to jump between the City’s buildings. I have experienced many options in the city which allow guests to soak up London’s panoramas and my latest venture was to Sky Lounge in Tower Hill.
