The Equality Act 2010, like preceding legislation, covers colour, nationality and ethnic or national origin. The IEDP is seeking to establish that the category ‘race’ does not have, or need, a hierarchy. Anyone who is treated less favourably because of their colour, nationality or ethnic origin is provided with protection under the law. Some groups of people are systematically targeted for abuse and discrimination. In recognising the different manifestations of racism we aim to combat them all and advance equality.

Panel of Speakers:

Lord Herman Ouseley - Member of House of Lords and Chair of Kick it Out

Malcolm Wilson - Traveller and Head of Virtual School

Pragna Patel - Director of Southall Black Sisters

Ila Chandavarkar - Women’s Resource Centre

Paul Stephenson - OBE Anti-racist campaigner

The format of the day will ensure active participation of delegates as well as keynote speakers.

Please book your place by filling a booking form available from IEDP's website.

Places are free and will be allocated on a first come first served basis - booking is essential.

The IEDP is grateful to Awards for All and DiversityJobs.co.uk for funding for this series of seminars.

The competition for all ages and abilities took place at Haven Golden Sands Holiday Park (Lincolnshire) from the 28th to the 30th March.

Hype smashed it even though they had 1 man down because of an injury and changed the mix 10 minutes before showtime! We are proud of all of you, coming back to Bristol with 37 trophies, so much talent from age 7 all the way to 17. You all have represented Hype Dance Company to the fullest, so well done!

Why does Trinity charge for parking?

Trinity is a charity and we run the Trinity Centre almost entirely on the income we generate from hire of the premises and events, via our trading subsidiary, Trinity Community Enterprises.

Revenue from our car park helps to fund Trinity Centre running costs and our programme of community activities.

This is a vital source of income and helps to sustain our community centre and maintain and repair the listed building. It allows us to offer free and subsidised use of our hall-space for community activities and helps to match fund projects such as our heritage, arts and youth activities.

Centre Manager, Emma Harvey said: "We've been thinking of an easier way to get people down from the upstairs of Trinity for some time - we explored options such as fireman's poles and conventional escalators - this option seemed the most in-keeping with the building and organisation."

As well as the new slide, the second phase of development works will also include installation of loud-speakers on the towers - replacing the toll of the bells in the tower, the speakers will play Jimmy Cliff's I Can See Clearly Now on the hour as a way of keeping everyone aware of the time of day.

http://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/griefwalker-film-screening-and-q-a-with-stephen-jenkinson-tickets-10982339473?aff=efbevent

A few of the themes appearing in the film: Where does our culture’s death phobia come from? Is there such a thing as good dying? How is it that grief could be a skill instead of an affliction? Who are the dead to us? How can seeing your life’s end be the beginning of your deep love of being alive?

Stephen Jenkinson has appeared at scores of screenings of Griefwalker across Canada and the U.S. It seems the film detonates a strong desire among people to talk about their experiences of death and grief, and especially to be heard by others. It is clear that a palpable feeling of isolation grows up around people’s encounters with dying in our culture, and the National Film Board and Tim Wilson have done something vital and needed in helping to make the kind of soulful, community building events that Griefwalker screenings have become.

LA’s Banks ploughs a polished furrow in deeply personal themes delivered as powerful sultry vocals over often fervently moody electronica.

On this UK tour she has been joined by LuckyMe’s resident DJ and darling of Rinse FM and Radio One, Eclair Fifi, here ushering in the audience with a selection that mines the seam where r’n’b meets bleeding edge, post-dubstep production. It’s an at once accessible and thrilling alliance - and the perfect fanfare for a visiting artist that has leant so heavily on the production values of the UK’s taste-making underground.

Taking the stage to sinister scene-setter Before I Ever Met You, backlit and misted in dry ice, the slight American cuts a gothic silhouette as she sashays back and forth from the shadows.

On stage, Banks is flanked by two musicians, one at a drum kit, the other alternating between keys and guitar, augmenting the backing track. There is a synergy at play here, and with a lighting production that perfectly encapsulates the intensity of her sound, the show is at once intimate and powerful.

Following the haunting This Is What It Feels Like Now the more upbeat Change reveals a little of the true vocal power our host can wield. Then just when it seems the whole evening might be trotted out in the same vain she lets rip on Brain.

Perhaps because this is the first night of the tour, from this point we see a more relaxed and confident performance. We are treated to a debut airing and a little more in the way of conversation as the mood gradually lightens through Warm Water towards something of a soulful, even sunny, groove.

The dark and light of ‘Waiting Game’ brings the night full circle before our host announces her last of the evening is to be another 'world premier', a mild disappointment of crude r’n’b-informed pop, perhaps hinting at a more American aesthetic for the forthcoming album.

This would be a shame, for us in the UK at least, as it is through the unapologetic intelligence and atmospherics of her material to date that she stands a greater longevity in hearts and minds over here.

Peter McMaster

Sun 18 - Tue 20 May

Show times 7:30pm

Four performers explode their own experiences of being men in this bold theatrical debut from ‘one of Scotland’s most interesting young theatre makers’ (The Scotsman).

They recall the dark expanses of the Yorkshire moors, sing together full-throated and bold, recall poignant memorials of being a boy, and dance optimistically to the howling tones of Kate Bush.

McMaster’s all male, award-winning interpretation of Emily Bronte’s seminal text, re-visits the iconic landscapes and characters from Wuthering Heights and places them alongside the stories of the male performers. This re-imagined classic considers how, almost 200 years after the book was published, the lives and aspirations of men are now different.

“Honest, inventive, beautifully choreographed and evidence of a bold and inventive talent.”

Venue: Trinity Centre

Tickets: £12/£8

Booking: 0117 987 7877

Wuthering Heights is brought to The Trinity Centre by Mayfest 2014 - to find out more about the other great shows taking pace across the city check out their full website or follow them on Facebook

Female duo who write full-hearted, unforgettable songs about real things. Piano pulsed, accordion tinged, guitar swooned songs shaped around captivating observations of the everyday (Morrissey listen up). Most remarkable is the coming together of their two voices - Chantelle Pike’s distinctive vocal (think Patsy Cline) is rife with deft melody and packed with heartbreaking turns and flourishes, while Hannah Dean sings like she’s from the same planet as Julee Cruise.

Leila Fay

19 year old singer-songwriter, who writes gripping piano songs of love and romance, drawing on her experiences and combining her incredibly pure, mesmerising vocal talent with addictive piano melodies.
She moved from Tokyo to the South West of the UK when she was only 15, and has been developing her sound ever since.    Her debut EP ‘Another Time’ and is out now on iTunes.
