About Tradamis

Tradamis was founded in 2002 to exploit with the work that was in prospect from the newly formed Slough Creative Partnership and we delivered three major projects for 5 schools using 10 different practitioners to a value of about £7500.  Since then our work has developed to not only include more project work but single days teaching of specific modules including many for special needs, teacher training, the production of resources, profile raising events at museums, art galleries and festivals.

 

The organisation was originally 5 freelance practitioners and with a few changes in personnel it has stayed the same size but with a far wider network of individuals to call on for different events.  The second phase of our existence involved the conversion to a Registered Charity, the creation of our first web site and our establishment as the place to come to for anything to do with Maypoles.

 

Our Objective is now defined to the Charity Commission as follows

To promote the education of children and young people by the provision of services, resources and equipment to enhance their knowledge, appreciation and understanding of English Traditional music, dance and cultural issues.

And in the same document our activities are outlined as

  • The provision of teaching and resources to schools through teaching sessions, workshops, concerts and possibly residencies.  The creation and publication of resources to supplement this work.  The provision of events for young people and community groups

  • The teaching to look at traditional, cultural and vernacular arts, our living heritage and its links to historical events and related recreational activities.

  • The provision of specialist teachers and resources to other organisations for major projects that they are running

  • The involvement of freelance practitioners and other organisations in our own projects
