The Laban Dance Centre, architecturally, creatively and symbolically has had considerable impact in South East London, exemplifying the creative resurgence of this ‘neck of the wood’.
It is entirely fitting that our first recognition in the area of performing arts (Dance) should go to German-born Maresa von Stockert, director of Tilted Productions, who first studied in London at Laban in 1992-2003 before going on to further her dance education in New York.
After teaching and choreographing in her home country she returned to London in 1994 to set up her own dance company since when she has collected a number of prestigious awards including the 2005 Time Out Live Award for outstanding choreography. She is currently Associate Artist at Dance East and, from 2007, will be choreographer in residence at the South Bank Centre.
She and her company are much-applauded for their thoroughly provoking and visually striking dance theatre, incorporating particularly the use of props and video.

Directors Angela Michaels and JB Rose realised there was a missing link in theatre and that it stemmed from the fact that black writers although encouraged and developed in the early stages of their career to produce new work, that there seemed to be no plan to sustain this creativity. Tell Tarra, a Jamaican saying meaning ‘tell another’ aim to produce and showcase black writers work as well continue to support their journeys into the mainstream.
