Stone Nest is an arts organisation that is working to create a new performance space housed in the Welsh Chapel, a Grade II listed building on Shaftesbury Avenue in central London.〔("Arts centre set to open on London’s Shaftesbury Avenue" - The Stage, 16 May 2013 )〕 Stone Nest’s mission is to promote experimental, unexpected and daring artistic practice across a diverse range of dance, theatre, music, video and performance art, and to bring it to a wide audience in London's West End. The first performance at Stone Nest was given on 15 July 2013, by the New Movement Collective dance group,〔("This week's new dance" - The Guardian, 13 July 2013 )〕 with a performance called “Nest” inspired by Homer’s Odyssey.〔("New Movement Collective: Nest, Welsh Chapel - dance review" - Evening Standard, 22 July 2013 )〕 The Norman-style Welsh Chapel was built in 1888 by James Cubitt, who also designed the Union Chapel in Islington, north London.〔(British History Online - "Survey of London: Vols. 33 & 34" (1966) )〕 The building comprises central space with an umbrella dome, a large basement, and attached manse. From 1985 to 2003 the chapel was home to the Limelight Club,〔("West End's ex-Limelight Club transforms into arts venue" - BBC News, 19 July 2013 )〕 and subsequently a branch of the Walkabout sports bar chain. Stone Nest is a charitable foundation〔(UK Charity Commission register entry for Stone Nest )〕 supported by Mikhail Verozub, a businessman and philanthropist originating from Ukraine and Knight of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic.〔(Official citation from President of Italy )〕 Stone Nest has managed to procure the use of the Welsh Chapel through the support of Mikhail Verozub’s family and related entities. ==References== * * * * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stone Nest」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
