Overview
Home to a beautifully diverse Community, CARAVAN Social Night is a unique platform that connects its audiences through the experience of live music, dance, art and culture. Caravan Social Night houses a creative space shared between the artists and the people. Our purpose is to empower, liberate, encourage and uplift all by advocating inclusion and the freedom of expression as tools to break barriers and mend societal separation.

What is Caravan Social Night?

Caravan Social Night is a cultural evening that connects live musicians and dance artists to create and deliver art to communities within social environments. In this inclusive night, we present showcases of collaborative works, open improvisation that invites musicians , dancers and audiences members from the crowd to create in the moment, forming one environment and creative space connecting everyone through live culture and art.

Caravan Social Night : Our Vision and Values

Empowering communities through art, live music and dance.

Bridging the gap between live musicians and dance artists through collaboration

Targeting audiences outside theatre and into social environments to reach communities disconnected from art and culture.

History

The origins of this project was envisioned by Chris Reyes,( Independent Hip Hop theatre Artist and choreographer)  and co - founder, Orin Norbert (Musician, Vocalist and DJ) who became involved with the project shortly after. Chris and Orin have trained within the London dance and music scene since the early 00s. The history and experiences within their respective fields has led to conversations on the current state of art between the music and dance communities. Chris believes there is a disconnection but also a lack of platforms endorsing community arts outside the theatre and art sectors.

Identifying the gap, Chris and Orin would soon form a team of dance artists and musicians to collaborate projects both within theatre and social environments. These projects would be housed under the umbrella name, Caravan Live Culture.

In 2017, Caravan Social Night was set up as a fundraising project to help raise the support needed to create for the immersive theatre Production, CARAVAN.

The donations raised from Caravan Social Night, allowed us to create our theatrical visions, CARAVAN IMMERSIVE & Research & Development of new work in progress, SEAN.

 

Caravan Vault Festival 2018

Winners of the people's Choice award

SEAN

Research & Development

 

A life journey that focusses on cultural displacement, Identity, immigration, Family traumas through the eyes of Sean, a British born filipino. SEAN is in the process of research & development and will develop later this year.

CARAVAN SOCIAL NIGHT at present

Caravan Social Night as it stands is a fundraising project. We have curated 5 evenings since 2017 which was financed from our pockets to help support travel for the artists, rental of rehearsal space, transportation and equipment hiring fees.

CROWDFUND

Summary and intentions

Our target of £5000 will provide us the resources vital for housing our platform within venues  but also facilitating the rehearsal space and time needed for muscians and dancers to create work.

Artist fee

Most artists pay for thier own rehearsals space and time to deliver thier craft for shows for audiences. There is no external support or organisation that support thier daily basic needs. We seek to change this through our crowd fund by providing a perfomance fee, covering travel allowances to and from rehearsals.

For every £150 - £200 raised supports an artist to rehearse, learn and develop from the rehearsal space down to the performance.

Rehearsal space

For every £25  raised through donations provides the space for musicians and dancers to rehearse for 1 day.

 - Equipment hire and transportation-

Every £80 we raise provides transport instruments to travel into different communities. 

- Venue hire fees -

For every £300 we raise contributes towards housing our platform within venues.

 

Challenges and risks

Transforming this project into its independent platform, supporting the musicians and artists is our first priority. To this end, the project requires a strong start up to help launch this project but also to sustain the longetivity this project holds.

The crowdfund will impact the support it can provide the artists involved. From travel allowance, expanding rehearsal hiring time, down to performance fee. The target we seek to raise will ensure the artists are supported during the preparation process and performance on the night.

To the Community

"Thank you all for taking your time to hear our vision and cause. The impact this project has on communities goes beyond our imaginations. As creators within the Arts world, we want to find a way to use art that went beyond the stage and that would act as a positive tool to create change in a fast changing society. This platform belongs to the people and can only build and grow from your influence. I hope the videos capture the impact this platform has to the artists, the public and the limitless potential it can have in the future."

Thank you for supporting the arts.

and lastly,

Share our cause
