| AMP/PL003 |  KALA PHOOL Kala Phool is an arts development agency that strives to make diverse artforms accessible, fun and low cost. Currently not core funded, Kala Phool needs financial support from like-minded organisations that want to work with it. Projects Kala Phool develops and delivers include the Brighton Hip Hop Festival, which boasts a position as the UK's largest celebration of Hip Hop culture. Kala Phool currently works globally with existing and emerging partners, as well as those from across the UK, pushing the boundaries in making all the artforms under the Hip Hop 'banner' visible. The festival will be five years old in 2008 and Kala Phool are keen to have sponsors come and support their vision - they are open to more than one supporter. • Mother India 21st Century Remix - this project is currently under development and involves the rescoring of the iconic and Oscar award winning Indian epic, Mother India. It will be produced using the talent of the world's top Turntablist, bringing the film to a fresh new audience with India and Pakistan's independence as its inspiration. • Frieze Box - imagine, a box covered in canvas in the middle of your town, school or on a roundabout, with artists working on it in rotation. This is the concept and currently Frieze Box is being developed to work with younger people, in schools and with national festivals. It's a way of taking the art to the people and allowing them to have a go. Quality is foremost in Kala Phool's visioning and the agency works with the best of the best, the most respected and credible artists ... but also in their own right they value Kala Phool's work. Kala Phool works to support under-developed artform sectors that may not necessarily have a voice. It advocates on strategic, national and international levels with a variety of agencies.

| AMP/PL004 |  SOUTHERN FIRE Southern Fire is a two day outdoor music festival aimed at showcasing South Africa, her culture and her people through music on a global stage. It is a celebration of South Africa and her talent and will present South Africa's best musicians across all genres of music to the people of London. "Why Southern Fire? As a South African living in London, I meet people who continually ask me about home, the politics, the people, wildlife, nature and music. Through these conversations I began to see the need to promote South Africa and bring her people, culture and talent to the fore. Thus the idea for Southern Fire was born. With South Africa set to host the FIFA World Cup of Football in 2010, and along with our unique fauna and flora, it is a great time to be South African and to promote my country to people of other cultures. The aim of Southern Fire is to bring people from different cultures together, to share in a day of celebration of South African music and culture. We want Southern Fire to be an awesome experience for all involved, to birth a seed into London that will continue to grow and allow us to celebrate our great nation annually, abroad. Southern Fire is not a charity event. However, one cannot ignore the impact on Africa with regards to AIDS and HIV. We plan to donate a percentage of every ticket sold to a charity of our choice. Southern Fire is an ideal opportunity to raise awareness and bring exposure and information on a subject that has often been ignored. Our ultimate aim is to make Southern Fire a successful and annual event". Contact: Clayton Cook. Address: 106 Fishponds Road, Tooting, London SW17 7LF. Tel.: 07806 663909.

| AMP/011 | ROBERT HYLTON URBAN CLASSICISM Robert Hylton Urban Classicism (RHUC) produce, perform and educate through hip hop, contemporary dance, music, theatre and film, to enrich people through shared culture, life long learning and new experience. RHUC's left of centre approach to hip hop, theatre, film and contemporary dance choreography has carved a company whose work is groundbreaking, accessible and thought-provoking. RHUC was born in 1999 from an idea of returning to a form of expression experienced by Robert Hylton. This, coupled with newly found techniques, direction and ongoing discipline, gave Robert a basis for Urban Classicism. Today RHUC is much more than that early vision of fusion that Robert held: it is a foundation for the future of the next generation whose hearts and dreams also reside within the realms of hip hop, contemporary dance, theatre, education and film. RHUC now boasts core staff, performers, technical staff and some twenty collaborators and followers, with supporters and clients from around the UK and the world. RHUC tours have included small to middle-scale theatres throughout the UK over its lifespan, with its reputation having spread as far afield as Australia, New Zealand, Bangkok, Indonesia, Taiwan, Belgium, Copenhagen, Cyprus, Holland, Italy, Mozambique, South Africa, Lithuania, Prague, Zagreb and Cuba. UK venues include the South Bank Centre, Robin Howard Theatre, The Place, Lilian Baylis - Sadlers Wells and LABAN. RHUC has drawn audiences and participants from all cultural backgrounds and age groups, its eclectic style attracting from the ages of eight to eighty years old. Past sponsors, commissioners and supporters include the South Bank Centre, the National Gallery, LABAN and Vestax Europe. "This young hip-hop artist uses a mix of forms to take dance to entertaining and dramatic new places", The Times, UK; "The six dancers swagger about both in formation and with solo turns, showcasing kicks, backspins and improbably angled headstands", The Guardian, UK; "The meeting of two dance cultures, with each successfully crossing the other's boundaries", The Jakarta Post, Indonesia. RHUC is seeking to engage with commercial partners in a manner that creates cultural, social, educational and financial opportunities. Contact: Rajpal Pardesi, Senior Manager.
