In the Cream Room…
Silk Road Arts
We live in an age when unprecedented contact between peoples seems to throw up more borders and suspicion…
The legendary Silk Road is an example of age-long exchanges between peoples – Jew, Muslim, Christian, Buddhist – from Moorish Spain to Arab peninsula, across Central Asia to China. In their trade they left traces in each other's dance, song, poetry, beliefs.
SILK ROAD ARTS is an initiative to foster greater harmony by offering events, workshops, and artists inspired by the Silk Road.
One of the areas of our mission is to re-introduce Muslim and non-Muslim to a spiritually tolerant expression of Islam and wider view of its arts.
Showcasing brilliant, indigenously trained artists and groups, SILK ROAD ARTS brings an ancient power to move and illuminate our rootless three-minute culture.
We are pleased to host the room with Kazum! – Organizers of OrientExpress live music and club nights with a focus on Turkish and Balkan music.
Featuring:
Hurriyya (Live & Workshop)
23:00-00:00
Hurriyya (‘freedom') is a ‘dabka' dance troupe performing Palestinian and Middle-eastern community dances. After a shortened performance Alia Alzougbi will lead a workshop ideally suited to the Synergy gathering. The ‘dabka' dance is a line step-dance often danced at weddings by men and women, young and old alike, from the Arab world to Turkey and Greece, generating great community togetherness. No experience necessary!
Michael Ormiston (Live)
A performance of Mongolian music using throat singing, morin khuur (horse head fiddle), and Tobshuur (plucked lute). Michael Ormiston specializes in Mongolian Khöömii (overtone) singing, being one of the few Westerners to study with masters in Mongolia and given permission to sing Khöömii.

Taraweeh (Live)
‘Taraweeh' means ‘refreshment of the soul'. Led by master ney-player Louai Alhenawi , this five-piece ensemble offers a rare chance to hear passionate Sufi music from the Arab tradition.
• DJ Seb and DJ Moody from OrientExpress (new, urban and chilled beats from Turkey, the Balkans and beyond)
• Short, sweet interludes of Persian mysticism read by Saghar Forouhi

Talks/Presentations
A series of presentations hosted by Jeff (GoodJeff) Lester will be held in the Small World area (deep blue room) from 10:00 to 12:30
‘Night of the Counterculture, Past, Present, and Future…'
The Past:
Sue Hall has been involved in the English Counterculture since the sixties. She will present a series of historical photos from the Sixties Counterculture and talk about the influences that led up to it. Sue will tell us what it was like to be at the legendary Alternative Sixties club UFO as well as the legendary sixties 'happening', the 14 hour Technicolour Dream She will then be happy to take questions from the audience. Sue recently gave a well-received talk on LSD in Basel at the 100th birthday of LSD inventor Albert Hoffmann.
Lee Harris , familiar to many as the owner of Britain's legendary 'headshop' on Portobello Road, Alchemy , described himself as a 'footsoldier of the underground'. He will share his vast knowledge of the Sixties Counterculture with us by recounting in his inimitable fashion various scenes and tales from that time. LEE, now an 'Angel Headed hip hop artist' is still very active in the Counterculture and in Jimmy Hendrix's words is 'keeping the freak flag flying high'.
The Present:
The Rainbow Family the biggest community of Alternative people in the world (anyone can join) and the amazing Rainbow Gatherings have gathered people from the Counter culture together since 1972. Su and several other Family members will recount the history of the Gatherings and talk about the philosophy behind them, taking questions from the audience as well.
The Future:
Megatripolis @ Forever: first chapter in a series of sci-fi club radio plays by the legendary Counterculture impresario, Fraser Clark. inventor of Megatripolis (at Heaven) and The Warp Experience (SE1). Enter here (at your own risk) for the great time travel experiment. Starring: Kate Alderton, Funmi Olowe, Leigh Kelly, Mitch Davies,Luci Boccino, Camden Macdonald. Directed by Camden Macdonald.
Host: Jeff (GoodJeff) Lester has been an Alternative Culture activist from the Sixties to the present, both in both in America and Britain. He specialises in creating talks and debates on issues of interest to the Counterculture and Rave Generation. His passion for the Neil Oram's 23 hour theatrical CounterCulture opus The Warp led him to bring it to bring it to Fraser Clark's club The Warp Experience (SE1) in 1999.

Synergy – inclusive to Smokers and Non-Smokers alike…
As most of you will know Synergy is one of the pioneering clubs that supports the peaceful (and healthy) coexistence of smokers and non-smokers alike. To this effect we are designating large areas that are clearly marked as non smoking. We have received much support for this attempt – thank you to all who help us achieve this not always easy goal.
