Canterbury Historical and Archaelogical Society (CHAS)
Canterbury Three Cities Association
This triangular association was formed in 1985 to develop understanding, friendship and support between the citizens of the Canterbury District, Bloomington-Normal (Illinois) in the USA and Vladimir, Russia (then the USSR). The association set out to foster cultural, educational and business links between our very different societies, leading to friendships which have lasted for decades.
The link attracted national attention in 1988 when promoting a world-first school pupil exchange with the Soviet Union. Links have since been established between academic institutions in each city. Over the years choirs, musician, folk singers, artists, photographers, dancers and sports enthusiasts have visited each others’ countries. There have also been numerous exchanges or study visits by professionals and Association members, and several civic delegations have travelled between the three countries.
The Association is supported by both Canterbury City Council and its Honorary Patrons, the Lord Mayor of Canterbury and the Bishop of Dover, the Bishop in Canterbury.

Framework is an arts production company in pursuit of a story that fits. We often find ourselves suspended, caught between the fragments of an elusive grand narrative, blurring the boundaries of our real and imagined lives. We search for a story that fits, and explore the brief encounters and happy accidents that happen along the way. Performance lies at the heart of our work, and the material reflects our aims. Form is driven by story and the questions we attempt to answer.
