New
Words, New Worlds - A Creative Vocabulary For The Future with
Roger Hill
Sunday 8th March at 5pm
Part of the Big Ideas series in
the Cultural Community College.
If we want to change things maybe we need to change the words we
use, and dispense with some bad new words and recover some good
old ones - or vice versa, or something. Where we talked
"money", do we need to talk "attention"?
Where "possessions", "experiences"? What
should "Wonder" and "World" mean now? Is
there still case for "Austerity"?
Time to think about
all this together.

Jonny
Magnanti - Tony Harrison's 'V'
Sunday 8th March at 7.30pm
Jonny Magnanti, a Leeds born actor,
interprets Tony Harrison’s still controversial poem,‘V’, drawing
us into the municipal graveyard, daubed with swastikas and
profanity and littered with discarded cans of Harp lager. In this
production, supported by soundscapes from the period, with echoes
of the miners strike, the IRA, conflict on our streets and a lack
of hope for the working class skinhead at the centre of the
internal dialogue, both Tony and Jonny, confronting the issue of
displacement and alienation from one’s class and family roots.

Queer
Lady M
Sunday 15th March at 5pm
It’s time for Queer Lady M’s cabaret!
Performed by gender-fluid artist Shane Gabriel, Lady Macbeth
comes to life like never experienced before.
There’s outrageous
lip-syncing, cheeky dancing and sassy conversation as Queer Lady
M invites you to enter her world of passion and shade.
But what happens when
the show is over, when Shane removes the makeup and puts Lady M
to bed? What stories will come to light as Shane invites us into
his twilight world?

Are you fascinated by what our dreams tell
us about what’s going on in our shared subconscious – and maybe
even about the future? Are you up for a journey with an
intrepid band of explorers to forge experiments in the matrix of
collective dreaming – and day-dreaming? Are artists the real
social dreamers?
Tessa Gordziejko is a writer and theatre-maker. She’ll be
leading the expedition into the unknown through accessible
psycho-social techniques developed over the past 80 years, to
discover new creative territories of story, myth and
imagination.
