International Connections
Mr Leon! & Marcia Sparkes

Sin City

Collectively known as the 'ICs' or 'International Connections', we are Leon and Marcia Sparkes (bro and sis), KB and Michelle Wadley - so called because that is what we are: a cultural mix of young fresh talent (African, black British (Caribbean) and white British). We met through gallery 37 in 2002 and decided to pull our creative interests together into one force. Our whole thing is about the fusion between all performing arts - music, dance and drama with urban contemporary visual arts to bring what we have to say and express to the world's stage. Our youngest member is Michelle - 18, Marcia is 23 and Leon and KB are 20.
