dbo:abstract
  • Els Castellers of London (CoL) són una colla castellera fundada el 2015 a Londres. Està integrada per una cinquantena de persones de diferent procedència, majoritàriament catalana però també britànica i d'altres nacionalitats, que resideixen en aquesta ciutat. La colla té el propòsit de difondre el fet casteller a la capital del Regne Unit mitjançant actuacions i organitzant assajos regulars per mostrar què són els castells i que tothom que vulgui ho pugui provar. Un dels trets identificatius de la colla és el seu caràcter multicultural. Mitjançant l'organització d'assajos de portes obertes a persones interessades en participar en el fet casteller, la formació està integrada per persones individuals i famílies, de totes les edats i de diferents orígens que fan d'aquesta colla un punt de trobada i d'intercanvi de cultures. La presentació oficial dels Castellers of London va ser el 18 de juliol del 2015 al Youth Fest de Tottenham. En els seus inicis van començar a fer castells al centre social de Rochester Square Gardens, a Camden, on van organitzar una sèrie de tallers amb l'objectiu de fer participar els aficionats londinencs. Aquests tallers van donar lloc als assajos de la colla castellera, els quals es van dur a terme a diferents espais de la ciutat: Camden Gardens, Regent's Park, fins a arribar a la seva seu actual a St. Thomas the Apostle Church a Arsenal (North London). S'organitza a través de l'assemblea dels seus membres i funciona mitjançant grups de treball, els quals estan representats per la junta directiva i la junta tècnica encapçalats pel cap de colla i el president. Actualment aquests dos càrrecs l'ocupen Hasier Rodriguez i Stephen "Cuss" Anderson respectivament. (ca)

Many of the people involved in CoL are from Catalonia, but the group also includes people of many nationalities. The goal of CoL is to promote the tradition of castells in the London area by holding open rehearsals and organising special events, such as exhibitions. In 2015, a group of people experienced in building castells held a series of workshops to promote human towers in London and attract Londoners to attend their rehearsals. They started at Rochester Square Gardens in Camden, moved to Camden Garden, then to Regent's Park and then rehearsed in St Thomas the Apostle church in Arsenal North London. Currently, rehearsals take place in Guy's Hospital Southwark (Wednesday, 7–9 pm) and the Thanet Community Centre (Sunday, 2–5 pm). CoL continues to expand its membership, and currently includes people of different backgrounds and all ages, as well as whole families.
