Amici Trustee Report
A major focus for this year has been to continue to ensure the continuity, creativity and financial stability in the organisation and activities of AMICI and Young AMICI during a period of turbulence. Initially up to December 2024 this was in the context of the fluctuating health of Wolfgang Stange, Artistic Director of AMICI. Very sadly Wolfgang Stange died in December 2024. Following this major loss the focus of the Trustees was initially to navigate this immense loss to Amici, Young Amici and AMICI’s International Community. This included playing a major role in organising the funeral arrangements and national and international tributes together with Turtle Key Arts and Wolfgang’s executors. Following the Funeral on 16/1/2025 the Trustees principal work involved supporting Elaine Thomas in continuing in her role as Interim Artistic Director and ensuring AMICI and Young AMICI continued to thrive despite this great loss. A major part of this involved the preparatory stages of AMICI’s next Production entitled “Our Time”. This built on Wolfgang’s original vision for the production which he drafted and shared prior to his sad death. The production week was scheduled for 20/10/2025. It is outside the remit of this financial year’s report, but the production was highly successful.
The diverse strategies to address these challenges have been successful. AMICI and Young AMICI have continued to meet weekly with a stable membership under the creative leadership of Elaine Thomas and Ingrid Molinos Torres together with the support of AMICI Associate Artists, longstanding members of AMICI and with the major contribution and much-valued support of Turtle Key Arts. The external projects such as the “Dance Together” project in schools have continued and gained additional funding from John Lyons. During the summer months of 2024 Young AMICI repeated their very successful weeklong summer school and gained additional funding for this. Students from Roehampton University and the Royal Academy of Dance were hosted and AMICI remains financially secure.
Wolfgang’s death was also sadly preceded by the loss of a longstanding member of AMICI, Perrin Parri-Hughes and earlier in the year the loss of AMICI member Katie Barlow. The loss of each of these people is great. This year also marked a celebration of an Amici members 90th birthday.
Retrospectively the plans for continuity which were developed across the past year, and the year of this report have been fundamental in enabling AMICI to continue to flourish.
The full day Strategy Planning Meeting between the Trustees, Turtle Key Arts, Elaine Thomas and Ingrid Molinos Torres which took place on the 24/7/2023 had explicitly focusing on interim plans for AMICI and Young AMICI during Wolfgang’s illness.

AMICI DANCE THEATRE COMPANY
TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2025
This structure has continued to successfully ensure the continuity of AMICI. This had included preliminary discussions of how to gather up and preserve his legacy. This has gained additional urgency since Wolfgang’s death.
When Wolfgang was unable to attend AMICI classes Elaine Thomas continued in her role as the Interim Tutor and Director of AMIC and Lead Tutor. Following Wolfgang’s death, Elaine has continued in the role of Interim Artistic Director. The roles of the Associate Artists have supported Elaine in this task and some graduates from Young AMICI have played an assistant role in some of the Dance Together School workshops to gain experience. As previously planned a Young AMICI graduate or previous placement student regularly assists with meeting and greeting and administrative tasks at the Wednesday classes such as maintaining the register. Open workshops were planned together with joint workshops between AMICI and Young AMICI. The transition for Young AMICI members to AMICI began to take place through a graduation process and several Young AMCI members graduated and joined AMICI.
There were two additional AMICI Trustees meetings across this year together with smaller working groups. There were also many less formal meetings to support Elaine and to plan Wolfgang’s funeral and to address legacy issues. Tasks included Job descriptions drafted for Associate Artists, a new member registration form for Young AMICI, a Code of Conduct for all AMICI members, safeguarding issues and safeguarding training for new people running workshops. The payment arrangements for the Leads of AMICI and Young AMICI were reviewed and adjusted. A website working group was formed to review the AMICI and Young AMICI website. The Associate Artists met to share ideas and plan.
Preliminary work was done to revise AMICI’s Mission Statement. Significant planning for the future production took place and a rehearsal schedule arranged. The roles of the Production Team were clarified. The issues of how to collate and archive and both foster and protect Wolfgang’s legacy has been a major focus for discussion. The school resource pack “The Magic of AMICI” was revised with the significant help of, associate artist, Janee Hall. Preliminary discussions took place with Roehampton University who approached AMICI regarding a Doctorate proposal. Other issues included reviewing how best to recruit new members. Attendance at Lyric Partnership meetings. Planning of various additional workshops/collaborations. General funding and financial matters.
AMICI continues to enjoy the creative partnership with Turtle Key Arts whose unswerving loyalty and commitment to AMICI during this turbulent period has been invaluable and played a major role in supporting AMICI’s continued development.
AMICI has remained fortunate in continuing to have Shane Aurousseau as resident photographer. His contribution to Wolfgang’s funeral arrangements and legacy has been greatly valued.

AMICI DANCE THEATRE COMPANY
TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2025
Public benefit
The Trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the Charity should undertake.
Administration
Turtle Key Arts have continued to act as administrators but offer Amici and Young AMICI so much more than this in their passionate commitment to AMICI and their consistent practical support especially through this difficult year of loss and transition. The company is very grateful to them for their professionalism and commitment and their practical understanding of AMICI’S particular needs and talents. They have been instrumental in ensuring the growth of AMICI’S educational outreach work and of the continued development of “Young AMICI”. As well as this Turtle Key Arts have continued the development of the talents and skills of the company membership. They have also played a major role in developing a closer relationship with the Lyric. They have identified, fostered and administered many projects in Britain and abroad, including fund raising and they also support company members by their active presence as stage managers, sound technicians, filmmakers and web designers, to name just a few of the many roles they play. A formal contract negotiated by Turtle Key with the Lyric Theatre is in place. As The Lyric has now extended their range of activities to include a number of other groups including music, dance, theatre, acting, and film, each group or company now pays a small fee for room use.
Risk Response
The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the Charity is exposed and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.
Object Codes
Care, welfare and treatment for people with learning disabilities, additional cognitive needs and mental health issues.
Services for disabled and non-disabled people.
Promotion and furtherance of education in and knowledge of the arts and craft of dancing.
Activities of the Trust
AMICI meets as a weekly evening class at the Lyric Theatre, Hammersmith, where it is the resident company, by kind permission of Amy Belson, Chief Executive and Rachel O’Riordan, Artistic Director. From time to time AMICI presents public performances and open workshops.
Organisational Activities
AMICI’s activities across the first half of this year were focused on fostering the transition from Wolfgang Stange to Elaine Thomas as Interim Artistic Director and principal workshop leader. Elaine’s creativity and confidence in running AMICI workshops has further consolidated and flourished. Elaine now holds full responsibility for AMICI in her role as Interim Director following Wolfgang’s death. Her success in this role is demonstrated by the consistent membership of AMICI and AMICI members participation in various projects.
The further organisational work of AMICI is described in the previous section.
Activities
John Lyons generously funded two further years of the “Dance Together “project in schools starting in the spring of 2024. This involved AMICI and Young AMICI members conducting workshops in local Hammersmith and Fulham SEN schools.
The initiative to run mixed workshops between Young AMICI and AMICI each term has developed further and now occurs twice a term.
Open workshops have been planned to aim at once a term.

Ingrid now attends and contributes to part of AMICI Trustees meetings on a regular basis.
Young AMICI has had a very active year. Two Young AMICI graduates have taken up an apprentice administrative role for AMICI to facilitate their involvement in AMICI. Two other Young AMICI graduates have now joined AMICI. Six Young AMICI members have supported and led or acted as assistants in the Dance Together Schools project and one Young AMICI member has gained employment within an AMICI affiliated class.
Students from the community Commissions project from London Contemporary Dance, students from Mountview MA creative, students from Roehampton University and the Royal Academy of Dance and Laban have all been hosted or taken up placements with Young AMICI.
With extra funding from the Tesco Community grant adding to the John Lyons funding Young AMICI organised a bigger summer school in July 2024 open to young people within and outside of the company. Volunteer opportunities were offered to several young people during the summer school. The summer school was highly successful. Two master classes in classical ballet and Hip Hop were arranged.
Two Young AMIC members started the LEAF development program in Young AMICI which fosters teaching, choreography, organisational and teaching skills. Opportunities to lead on these aspects were offered within the joint classes with Young AMICI and AMICI.
Young AMICI members were also involved in attending AMICI company rehearsals for the planned performance in October 2025.
Continuing work on the respective roles and communication between Turtle Key staff, AMICI Trustees and Young AMICI leadership have occurred which has fostered relationships further.

AMICI DANCE THEATRE COMPANY
TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2025
Financial review Financial Developments
AMICI would like to extend their gratitude to those involved in funding AMICI’s activities and to Turtle Key Arts in supporting AMICI with funding applications. Gratitude is also extended to those involved in successfully gaining Theatre Tax relief. Additionally in sad circumstances a legacy has been received from the estate of John Kaye a longstanding friend of AMICI who sadly passed away the previous year together with valued contributions from the funeral donations from the family of Katie Barlow and of the father of Freya Spencer, an AMICI member.
Financial review
The charity has recorded a modest surplus for the period and continues to retain a sufficient level of reserves to underwrite the initial outlay required for the projects planned in the coming period. The financial position and future commitments are reviewed regularly at board meetings, so that the Trustees can remain confident that an appropriate level of reserves are being retained to continue to deliver to the charity's objectives. A three-year projection of AMICI’s financial stability was managed and discussed with the Trustees.
Financial Arrangements
AMICI Dance Theatre Company has two bank accounts, both of which it had prior to becoming a Registered Charity. There is a current account and a business reserve account which carries a higher rate of interest. The majority of the company’s funds are held in the business reserve account and moved across when necessary. There are five signatories to the account.
This year the company extended this to add a Young AMICI bank account that separates the income and expenditure for their tranche.
The company have also, already, secured funds towards their 45th anniversary show – Our Time – which is due to open at the Lyric Hammersmith in October 2025. The trustees have also agreed to direct the donations made for Wolgang’s funeral towards the show along with a proportion of the settlement from John Kaye’s Estate.
The trustees are particularly grateful to the following Trusts and organisations for their support of the company and its work this year.
John Lyon’s Charity – for Young AMICI and the ‘Dance Together’ project Abderrahim Crickmay Settlement Trust – for ‘Our Time’ The Cockayne Foundation – for ‘Our Time’ John Kaye’s Estate settlement – unrestricted income for AMICI
A number of individuals who have donated to the charity and given in honour of Wolgang’s funeral and the funerals of Katie Barlow and Freya Spencer’s father.
Fees paid by people who attend the weekly class go to the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham under whose auspices AMICI operates as an Adult Education Class. Fees are also paid to The Lyric for room hire.
Insurance Policies
The charity has two insurance policies.
Charity Trustee Assurance which covers professional and financial risks. This is with the Royal and Sun Alliance.
Theatres Combined Insurance for accidental loss or damage with Public and Performer’s Liability. This is with Aviva. The company’s public liability indemnity limit is £ 2,000,000 in line with recommendations from the lyric theatre management.
Both policies are brokered with Wrightsure who have particular expertise in these areas.
Major risks

AMICI DANCE THEATRE COMPANY
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2025
1 Accounting policies
Charity information
Amici Dance Theatre Company is a an unincorporated charity governed by the trust deed dated 20 September 1996..
1.1 Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charity's governing document, the Charities Act 2011, FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Charities SORP "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)". The Charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The Charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities not to prepare a statement of cash flows.
The financial statements have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the Charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2 Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.3 Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
1.4 Income
Income is recognised when the Charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the Charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the Charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

1 Accounting policies
(Continued)
1.5 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
1.6 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
1.7 Financial instruments
The Charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the Charity's balance sheet when the Charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the Charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
