Podcast feedConstable 200 years in Hampstead - at Burgh House
Although the English Romanic painter, Constable, is associated with Suffolk, he actually lived for some time in Hampstead and was inspired by views of the village and the Heath. Marking the 200th anniversary of his first visit to the area, Rebecca Lodge and Ashley Hannebrink are curating the Constable and accompanying exhibition, ‘Imaging and Imagining Hampstead Heath’, at Burgh House. Seven original works have been loaned by the Victoria and Albert Museum and the associated exhibition is supplemented by a series of talks and walks.
Tom Boyle talked with the Curators at Burgh House & Hampstead Museum, which is at: New End Square, London, NW3 1LT
Opening times: 12-5pm – Wednesday to Friday and Sunday. FREE entry. Duration: 10 October to 7 April. Email: info@BurghHouse.org.uk, Tel: 0207 431 0144

'Compass' Community Learning - at the Sadler’s Wells Theatre
This season Sadler’s Wells Creative Learning department, Connect produces a new production for the main stage, inspired by London’s diversity in its Olympic year.
A compelling new work premiering on Monday 23 April, Compass brings together a team of choreographers, a writer, a film maker, composers and musicians with a cast of over 100 dancers, encompassing all ages and levels of experience.
An original score of live and recorded vocal and instrumental music, by composers Donna McKevitt and Hannah Peel, is accompanied by arresting visual imagery created by BAFTA winner Tal Rosner. The company combine their talents and draw on their rich cultural heritage to create a thought provoking performance, exploring themes that celebrate unity, diversity and the meaning of ‘home’ within the many worlds of our capital city.
