As you may know (by the sheer amount of scaffolding) we recently secured funding from Heritage Lottery Fund, Historic England, All Churches Trust and 14 other funders, to undertake essential works to the The Trinity Centre, a Grade II* listed building. Alongside the essential building works we are also launching the  heritage project ‘Heart & Soul: Celebrating major life events at Trinity Bristol’. Alongside activities we will be collecting images, archive footage and stories from people who have had big life events here.

From the christenings, when the building was a church, to a first birthday party, there are hundreds of stories out there from all the communities who live around and use Trinity.

Local artisans specialising in clay, woodcarving, stained glass and textiles will deliver a series of workshops in the traditional craft skills used in the initial 1800’s building of the centre.Everyone is welcome to take part but older people, members of Bristol's BME communities and residents of BS5 & BS2 are particularly welcomed.

We will also be welcoming national speakers to a series of accessible evening talks, devised in partnership with Bristol's Architecture Centre & the University of the West of England (UWE). Looking at the challenges and achievements of reusing historic buildings speakers include Tim Ronalds, who brings a unique perspective on transforming some of the Britain's most iconic buildings, like Wiltons Music Hall, The Hackney Empire & Jackson's Lane.

We have a programme of activities to suit a range of ages, including a podcast project in partnership with local schools, history quests for children and families and a series of guided heritage walks. For the young at heart we have two memory dances – a morning of dancing and delicious cakes. Hosted by Dr Edson Burton, participants we will be encouraged to share their stories and memories of Trinity. As with all our heritage projects we will be collecting stories from residents, community members and all those who have a story to share about celebration at Trinity. In October the stories, images and archive material will be exhibited at Trinity at our end of project celebration event.

There are also volunteer roles for those who wish to gain skills or have an interest in heritage, as well as a part-time Project Assistant Internship (24 week, entry-level career development)to help us deliver this programme.

You can find out more about the activities here, by picking up a brochure from Trinity or various venues, cafes, and community spaces across Bristol or you can download a copy of the brochure here.

Lullabies workshop at Easton Community Centre. Photo @ Alexa Ledecky

Roxana is a multi-award winning Iranian/British multi-disciplinary artist working with music, storytelling, film and live performance in a participatory context for over 20 years. Core to Roxana’s work is a desire to connect with the human stories that unite us, using a multi art approach to tackle issues of racism, discrimination and belonging.

In 2018 Roxana joined the Trinity team developing her project, Lullabies, during her IGNiTE residency. Lullabies, was inspired by Roxana signing traditional Iranian lullabies to her children at night. Here she began to imagine how many others might be singing songs in different languages to their children and the stories behind them.

During her pilot project Roxana worked with local communities and schools to collect lullabies from families. She recorded interviews and songs from communities across Bristol, including Somali, Kurdish, Irish, Israeli, Iranian, Hungarian, German and Afro-Cuban songs.

In 2020 the project was selected to be part of Here and Now, a national project celebrating of 25 years of National Lottery Funding and showcasing everyday culture.

With the support of Trinity Roxana is continuing to develop Lullabies and in 2021 and will deliver online Zoom workshops. There is an open call for the public to submit their Lullabies and there are a series of adaptive podcasts with BBC R+D.

Participants will take part in 4 workshops with company members to create a short piece to be presented alongside TrashDollys, and a mixed program of performances from Bristol based artists on Saturday 27th January.

Freedom of Expression Statement

Trinity offers a safe environment where people can come together to celebrate, find joy and make fond memories and to enable this it’s vital for everyone to feel empowered for who they are. In line with our vision - creative expression for all - we seek to uphold the right of everyone to experience and express diverse visions and perspectives.

As a multicultural centre, we are committed to providing people from different backgrounds and communities with positive shared experiences. We want to make sure The Trinity Centre is an inclusive space where everyone can enjoy music, art and freedom of expression.

Through seeking to amplify the voices of diverse artists and under-represented groups, there may be times when a Stakeholder’s personal or religious beliefs may not fully align with those of other Stakeholders and Trinity Representatives.

Trinity does not take a moral position on intersectional matters of belief. Where possible and within the law, Trinity will seek to remain neutral to ensure all people and communities can feel included. We will not censor artists in response to competing moral interests or political or ideological pressure.

We are an anti-discrimination organisation and we want to make sure The Trinity Centre is a safe space where people are free to be themselves. We do not tolerate hate, discrimination or harassment and we will not work with artists or groups where it is found their behaviour is intended to provoke division or negate the enjoyment of the freedom of others, in line with the law and our Code of Conduct and our policies.

If or when controversies arise from Trinity platforming an artist or exhibiting their work, we welcome public discussion and debate, with the belief that such discussion is integral to artistic and creative freedom.

We encourage anyone to contact us if they have a concern about a particular artist, event or activity.

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

Pavilion Dance South West (PDSW) and national partners are pleased to announce our call for participation in the Surf The Wave Artist as Entrepreneur programme.

They are seeking applications from independent dance artists, dance companies and their producers to participate in a year-long programme of activities that aims to:

• Create a space for thinking about how we create, communicate and collaborate in dance

• Build and strengthen networks and relationships with promoters and venues

• Open up possibilities for touring dance across the UK

• Support artists and companies to respond to these new opportunities

What is Surf The Wave?

Surf The Wave is a major dance project that aims to fundamentally change dance touring in the UK. This three-year project runs from October 2017 to August 2020, taking a longer term approach to talent development, networking and showcasing.

Surf The Wave will be delivered in three phases:

1. Artist as Entrepreneur - a strategic programme of talent development and artist support involving artists, producers and promoters (including those new to dance) around the UK.

2. The UK Dance Showcase (16th – 19th May 2019), which will have a separate selection process.

3. Surf Generator - A year-long programme of touring and development support to translate interest into tour dates following on from the Showcase.

They are now accepting applications for Phase 1: Artist as Entrepreneur

The Artist as Entrepreneur programme offers an opportunity for artists and their producers (where appropriate) to come together and participate in a period of reflection, development and networking across the UK. Participants will attend two intensive professional development events that will be hosted by partners (including here at Trinity). These events are a series of 2 x two-day residentials. The programme will include guest speakers, panel discussions, open space sessions and networking opportunities focussing on four key themes:

• Concept • Quality • Communication • Sustainability

The aim will be to look across and beyond the Creative Industries for inspiration and discussion.
