HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY LOVELY SISTER – Nicolette Fernandez Okewole

New riddles embrace the warmth of the still wind,

The skin of the night is greeted by the grace of a new dawn,

and although it is not yet noon,

our souls are fed too soon.

The festival of love lives in fullness of each moment,

As this is your day – blessed with triumph in every way

MAY THIS BIRTHDAY CFREATE MORE MOMENTS OF SUCCESS STORIES

LOTS OF LOVE ALWAYS

TONY

My veins are tickled by the sensation of a sweet bitterness,

You have left me with the calm wind to feed on the energy of great thoughts,

For tonight I feel on top of the world.

The stillness of the moment feels so right,

The moment is ripe to paint the night,

for my thoughts are measured in a pool of peace

my soul is racing through a noble treat,

I can feel the calm wind kissing my face

embracing the beauty of this chosen race

Tranquil Productions was established in 2005 and over the past decade has grown to become one of the leading specialists for breakin (breakdance) workshops and performances in the UK.  

Our mission is to help improve the lives of the people we work with through our breakin classes and projects. We work in communities and in education. Through our work we have seen physical/mental health and well-being transformations for many children, young people and adults. We create relationships that help to develop positive characteristics, such as confidence and discipline in the people we work with. We also provide creative outlets for people to express themselves.

Part of the vision at Tranquil Productions is to make Bradford a better place to live. We want to increase safety, access and inclusion for the people living across our city and see breakin thrive as a dance and culture. The work provided to educational establishments throughout Bradford and Yorkshire has been of the highest quality, helping Tranquil Productions gain a strong reputation for artistic impact, engagement and reliability.

We’re thrilled to annouce that Bradford is through to the final stage of the competition to be UK City of Culture 2025! We’re one of four places on the shortlist for UK City of Culture 2025, selected from eight long-listed locations, from across the UK. 

The news that Bradford has been shortlisted to be the UK City of Culture for 2025 is testament to the immense support and enthusiasm shown by people right across the District.

Thousands of people have already helped shape this process, from community organisations, the creative sector, businesses, and a whole host of groups who have thrown their support behind the campaign and helped us shape what we believe is a winning bid. 

Our bid is rooted in the heritage and character of the Bradford, and will reveal the magic of its people, its ambition, its uniqueness and above all its potential.

The BD25 flag flies proudly in the restaurants of Leeds Road and on the sleeves of Bradford Bulls; it’s the top of Morrisons flagpoles across the district, it’s projected onto buildings and emblazoned on articulated lorries For that, we thank you for your support to-date, and it’s because of you that we are now within touching distance of being crowned the next UK City of Culture. 

It cannot be underestimated the impact that winning the UK City of Culture title could have on the whole district, specifically in attracting inward investment, boosting the local economy and opening up incredible creative opportunities for young people to enhance their skills.

This is the time to tell the world our own story. This is Our Time, Our Place.

Get involved! Help us shout about the good news
