I'm delighted for this visitation from the grave. Other local newsletters
are very useful in their own ways, but RCDT is unique in certain
ways I value - ie basic local news, & a viewpoint independent of
Lambeth council's.

well done for getting it out

YOUR LIBRARY WAS BUILT TO LAST. NOW LOOK AFTER
IT!
The purpose-built
library is a distinctive building type conceived as part of
a municipal identity deploying considerable architectural
effect. As evocative reminders of past patterns of culture,
having great attachment with communities, their closure,
alteration or demolition prompts considerable concern.
Designation is warranted for those clearly possessing
special architectural or historic interest, but is this
enough to save them? |

Take it Away – Arts Council Music Initiative.
Take it away is a new Arts Council initiative
designed to help more people get involved in learning and playing
music. The scheme allows individuals to apply for a loan of up to
£2,000 for the purchase of any kind of musical instrument, and pay
it back in nine monthly instalments, completely interest free. Take
it away is open to everyone (over the age of 18), but primarily
designed to help those who might otherwise be unable to afford an
instrument appropriate for their needs. The priorities are:
-
To encourage children and young people to develop their interests and skills in music making
-
To inspire new players of all ages to begin learning an instrument
-
To enable those on lower incomes to acquire an instrument appropriate to their needs (or the needs of their children)
Take it away is only
available through registered outlets. Please go to
www.takeitaway.org.uk
for a list of participating stores. For more information please

Lambeth Peace Month. Throughout September, residents, local
businesses and a range of community groups in Lambeth will be
celebrating Peace Month. The theme this year is 'Peace on the
Streets'. Peace Month is a partnership between the Metropolitan
Police, Lambeth Council and community groups to build a month long
programme of fun and thought-provoking events, dedicated to
celebrating a peaceful and unified community. From 2004–2006,
Lambeth celebrated Peace Week. However, this year, in response to
feedback from local communities, the borough is hosting a whole
month of events, including: a multi-faith women's art group, various
workshops such as Understanding Islam, inter-faith peace banquet,
children’s writing competition, multi-faith commemoration and much
more. The Youth Oskars on 27 September will showcase the positive
contribution that young people make to their communities, and there
will also be chance to get on the Peace Bus as it visits schools and
housing estates. You can also attend community safety workshops and
discussion evenings. For more information and the full programme of
events, email

LOCAL PLANNING APPLICATIONS & NEWS
Coin St Builders Get
Planning Permission for
Lambeth Consults on Housing Guidance. Lambeth Council is
consulting on a draft Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) which
provides guidance for applicants preparing all forms of housing
schemes, from new build, change of use to flat conversions. The aim
is to provide guidance to the interpretation of relevant Unitary
Development Plan (UDP) policies. The guidance also reflects national
policies and the London Plan. The SPD addresses a number of
important issues such as minimum room sizes, overall floor areas,
provision of amenity space and children’s play space. It also
provides further guidance to supplement the UDP policy on flat
conversions. Specific requirements are being proposed for the
provision of internal storage space which is often overlooked,
particularly for flats.
The deadline for comments is 5pm 7 September 2007.
If you want independent help
and advice on this proposal or any other planning matter you can
contact Planning Aid for London on Tel: 020 7247 4900. To see the documents go via

Saturday 6th October 2007 7.45PM
Matinee: Saturday 6th October 2007
3.30PM
Wednesday 3rd October: Post show discussion with Creative
Director Eugene Skeef
Vibrant dance, live music and lyrical poetry come together to create
Motherland - a compelling story of love, conflict, revenge and
resolution set in a world of slavery and forced migration. A
powerful story of epic journeys through time and across continents,
this is a celebration of different cultures, individual strengths
and universal emotions. Energetic and uplifting, Motherland
sees traditional art forms cross boundaries and come together to
create a new and distinctive piece of dance theatre. An
international cast unites on stage to create the sounds, rhythms and
movements of India, Africa, the Caribbean and the UK to celebrate
the power of the human spirit.

Wednesday 10th October: post show discussion with the creative
team
Typhoon is Yellow Earth's international East Asian playreading
festival, and the Typhoon Live tour brings this double bill to UK
audiences for the first time, performed in English.
Getting Married
by Yi Kang-baek
(South Korea). A young swindler is looking for love. He has borrowed
a big house for the weekend, a suit for the day and he might ask you
for a cigarette. When a charming, innocent woman enters, will they
find love before the grim butler lurking in the shadows calls time?
A light-hearted, surreal fable from
Dogs
by Elangovan
(Singapore). A savagely funny play about the end of love, when a
woman pampers her dog rather than her loser of a husband. Racing
through the humid night air, this rollercoaster of resentment,
disappointment and hatred is full of foul-mouthed humour, with a
dark and disturbing ending. From

Thursday 16th October: meet the creative team post-show

Working together with Bette Bourne, one of the most
established names in queer theatre, Michael Twaits combines camp
cliches with beautiful projected visuals to create an exciting new
style of queer theatre that is fresh, vibrant and timely. Fusing
cabaret, comedy, burlesque and new media performance, Confessions of
A Dancewhore is a vivid theatrical exploration of the queer voice
within society.

October: free post-show discussion.
The
trees next door have died. Intrigued by the activities of his new
and unexpected neighbours, John watches. Not a surveillance
operation or anything like that. Just curious. Mai, meanwhile, is on
a journey she did not choose to take. Double Negative is an
explosive new performance, which brings these two characters
together to explore the darkest and most delicate parts of British
society. John wants to help, and Mai to escape; but both are kept
busy dealing with their own demons. Their meeting is a charged,
poetic exploration of sex trafficking and the unexpected desires
that fuel it. Combining bold, original writing with dance and
puppetry, this is a lyrical, bleak and funny play that sinks its
teeth into the issues of loneliness, sex, wanting to do good; and
the flesh trade in its many forms.

The
year is 1906, or so it seems, and revolution is in the air. The
Iranian monarchy is about to succumb to the will of the people as
the country takes its first tentative step towards democracy.
Following the sell-out success of Manjoun, 30 Bird brings a
witty and haunting new take on Iranian history to Oval House Theatre
as a part of their UK tour. Surreal and darkly comic, The Persian
Revolution puts a contemporary spin on the gripping events
surrounding the establishment of the

November & Saturday 1st December
With
their two-year relationship on-the-rocks, Sam takes his much younger
boyfriend, Andy, on a pilgrimage to The Lightning Field: an obscure
art installation by Walter DeMaria in the New Mexico desert. Against
Andy's wishes, Sam hijacks the trip by inviting his father, Gerrit,
and Andy's mother, Lori, both divorcees. But when Lori discovers
Sam's intent to propose to Andy, she begs Andy to embrace his youth
and reject the conventions of marriage. Meanwhile, questions about
Sam's fidelity surface, forcing Gerrit to expose the truth about his
own indiscretions in hopes Sam will reform his promiscuous and
violent ways. This 90 minute one act drama probes deep into the
psychology of love and the sometimes brutal sacrifices we are
willing to make to hold onto it.
