This November, we host a wide selection of interdisciplinary productions for you to delve into. Programme highlights include; Thinking Queer: Bloomsbury Group (10 November), Lola Arias’ MINEFIELD (15-17 November), Cultures of Resistance: Babylon (18 Saturday) and The Famous Lauren Barri Holstein Notorious (23 November).

Presented in association with The Marlborough Theatre, Thinking Queer: Bloomsbury Group, is a discussion panel that will bring contemporary radical thinkers, to explore queer ideology in relation to the renowned Group’s legacy. Among these thinkers is acclaimed trans writer, entertainer, and public speaker, Alok Vaid-Menon.

Lola Arias’ emotive and bilingual production, MINEFIELD, will gather six war veterans from the battle of Falklands/Malvinas, to expose history from its two opposing fronts. These retired soldiers will use different mediums, to share their war collective and unravel the political causes that led them into once being rivals.

A screening of Babylon, as part of Cultures of Resistance, depicts the lives of young Black British citizens, that rise in resistance against police brutality, racism and lack of job opportunities and is part of Cinecity. The event assembles academics such as Kelly Foster - public historian and specialist on Black British music - to investigate the rise of defiance against an unjust system. There will also be reggae music in the bar as well as the film and discussion. 

At the end of the month, Notorious evokes the artistic and hybrid performance that is quintessential to our programme. On stage live art, theatre and fine art will work symbiotically to produce an experimental exploration on the female body. More specifically, how representations of the female body have been redefined through social media and consumerist tendencies. Notorious portrays the ‘female monster’ in pop-cultural terms, resulting in a witch-bitch ritual that questions public shaming and how we now relate to the female body.
