Genesis
NINE RED Presents...(CIC) was born in a place where people of different nationalities, cultures and backgrounds, worked together and played together.
Where Individuality went hand-in-hand with Unity, towards a common goal.
To honour this NINE RED Presents...(CIC) holds the following ethos.
"That each individual in society, irrespective of race, ethnic origin, gender, marital or parental status, sexual orientation, creed, disability, age, religion or political belief has the right to be and to provide; inspiration, motivation and achieve emotional, physical, mental and spiritual well being."
At the edge of a high street, by a bridge with a ball,
there is a place on earth, where numbers fall…
On 22nd of September 2006, NINE RED Presents… (CIC) became incorporated as a Community Interest Company. We are a social enterprise, operating in a business environment for a socially useful purpose. This means that we serve the community for the good of the community, with all profits flowing back into Community Projects. Our members and directors are all voluntary and consist of Individuals from across the globe.
NINE RED Presents…(CIC) was founded in October 2003 by two Croupiers; a DJ and a poet,(Silky G & Naz Knight), who wanted to create an alternative art form that blended Diverse & Cultural Arts and placed it in a backdrop of combined arts. Since those humble beginnings NRP has gone on to create work that is truly art undefined.
The meaning of our name 'Nine Red' is as diverse as the activities and members of the company. Superficially, the name comes from the casino environment where the directors worked. However, we chose Nine Red, which is one of the numbers on a roulette wheel, for its varied significance to us.
Nine Red presents a number of community projects that have a socially useful purpose. Our three main projects are Sound with Vision, the A.V.S Project & Diverse Britain.
Our Mission - Sound with Vision:
To blend sound with colour and movement, mixing spoken word, music, visual and performing arts to inspire, motivate and encourage emotional, mental and spiritual growth.
To provide a holistic package of emotional and practical support to those dealing with domestic violence, sexual abuse and rape; whether that is something that's happening now or has happened in the past, providing immediate and free one to one counselling for individuals, in safe and secure surroundings.
Our Mission - Diverse Britain:
To promote community cohesion and social & personal harmony, by using performing arts and media to raise the awareness of the history, culture and abilities of all people and highlight the contributions that all races, religions and cultures have made to modern Britain and the world.
