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
