Platform Festival 2011
Developing on from the MyPlace project, All Change, in partnership with Islington Council, is directing the inaugural Platform Festival – an arts festival for children and young people which takes place from 15-31 July 2011 to launch the new Platform youth hub at Hornsey Road Baths. The festival will feature work by young people aged 13-19 in Islington in a range of media created in collaboration with arts companies including Sadler’s Wells, Almeida Projects, CandoCo, Scarabeus, Apples & Snakes, Free Word, Cubitt and Little Angel Puppet Theatre. The commissioned projects aim to develop young people’s relationship with and awareness of Platform and the wider arts community in Islington, and to create an extraordinary celebration of young people’s creativity.
