The Synergy Project

Friday 24th November



“Open your arms to change, but don't let go of your values.”

“Dalai Lama”



After a vibrant opening of the season, the dynamic collective of the Synergy community gathers once more, bringing together the many inspired souls of today, to celebrate a better world for tomorrow.



Synergy is a magical indoor festival, combining musicians, Djs, Vjs, performers, and artists from all corners of creativity, joined by various proactive NGO’s and charities.

It is our sincere belief to harness the power of positive celebration with a clear intention to discuss the many issues affecting our global community. Gently raising awareness of some of the most pressing issues around the world, supporting the work of our collaborating NGOs & Charities, and exposing them alongside other individual campaigns that deserve more attention to the vibrant, cross-generational and multi-cultural scene which makes up the Synergy Crowd.



This new event will host an incredibly varied mix of different elements:





In the Grey Room:



Pixel Addicts



This innovative and dynamic collective of visual artists presents their first major project in the shape of a captivating social and political audio/visual performance, combining the work of ten different artists, focusing on the joint elements of sound, light, and performance production guiding the viewer on a breathtaking journey through the northern regions of India. Driving over the highest road in the world in a brave attempt to show the dramatic conditions Tibetan Refugees go through everyday to escape Chinese oppression within their native Tibet.



All filmed by the team in HD (high definition) video technology, and combining in-house audio producers alongside some of the freshest sounds to come out of some of the UK’s top studios.



The live performance will take place in the main room at 11:00 and is one hour long.

The pixel addict space then continues its deep journey showcasing international Psychedelic Trance and Electronic music pioneers. Proudly welcoming two UK debuts from Fractal Glider and Hydraglyph as well as a stunning new Liquid Records album release.

This time the event will feature support for:



Tithandizane Project “we help each other”



A Primary Health Care Centre, Eastern Zambia



1 in 6 adults & children are HIV+ in Zambia.



The Tithandizane Health Centre aims to reduce the suffering of the 20,000 people

of the Kamuluza district & to empower them to have more control over their

health, particularly with regards to HIV/AIDS. The centre runs a clinic, does HIV

testing, gives residential care for those dying of HIV and runs an education programme.



The centre desperately needs condoms & medical supplies to continue its vital work.

A raffle will be held at Synergy to raise money to buy these vital supplies.

Please visit the Tithandizane stall to offer your support.

Or you could help by sending supplies direct to the project.

Contact Clare at tithandizane@yahoo.co.uk



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.
