SUMMARY:Glittering Tales: Dancing for Rajahs\, Nawabs\, and the Men of The Raj
DESCRIPTION:Join prominent artists Dr Swarnamalya Ganesh and Chitra Sundaram as they explore Sadir\, the historic precursor to the classical Indian dance style of Bharatanatyam. \nAsia House is delighted to collaborate with Akademi as it launches the first of its dance dialogue series with Dr Swarnamalya Ganesh and her debut to a London audience. The noted Bharatanatyam artist and actor will be joined by Chitra Sundaram\, a prominent figure in the UK dance community\, as curator of the evening. They will explore the narratives\, the women\, and the repertoire of ‘Sadir Āttam’: the command performance of the 17th to the early 20th century that was presented in durbars and salons for royalty\, aristocracy and officers of The Raj. \n\n \nThis event presents the her-story of the Sadir dancer; her repertoire and her reputation as an articulate\, charming and sophisticated performer. Swarnamalya will share the experiences of seeking out hereditary dancers; piecing together closely guarded anecdotes and repertoire pieces. Nearly eighty-five years after Sadir disappearing into Bharatanatyam\, we begin to embrace both\, joining the discourse of multiple histories. The discussion and demonstration will both trace and move beyond the narratives of erasure and caste politics behind present-day Bharatanatyam. \n  \nSpeakers:\nPicture Taken from https://thtsiteseminars.wordpress.com/2013/04/05/dance-at-srirangam/\nDr Swarnamalya Ganesh is a trained Bharatanatyam dancer\, an Indian actress and TV anchor. Over the years\, she has anchored several shows\, acted in films across various languages and performed on many stages all over the world. She has a Masters in Bharatanatyam and PhD in Dance History from Madras University. \nChitra Sundaram is a dance/theatre choreographer\, Bharatanatyam performer\, mentor and educator. Her research and teaching interests include the problems and potential of classical forms in cross-cultural and intergenerational transmission of narratives. Chitra was the trustee of Akademi\, and currently sits on the board of the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing. Chitra is an Associate Lecturer in Theatre &Performance at Goldsmiths College\, and a Fellow of the Royal Society of the Arts. \nTickets: https://www.glittering-tales-dancing-for-rajahs-nawabs-and-the-men-of-the-raj-tickets/ \n  \nTo Book Classical Indian Musicians in London

SUMMARY:Rendlesham
DESCRIPTION:A day coach trip from London to Rendlesham Forest in Suffolk to explore the 1980 UFO incident\, with audio commentary\, pub lunch and guided tour by master storytellers Minimum Labyrinth. \nThe truth may never be known about the incidents that took place in Rendlesham Forest in December 1980. They have since begun to drift into the mists of folklore\, and the mythological fog of war\, and have been described as ‘Britain’s Roswell’. \nBut something truly unusual did happen. A large number of United States Air Force personnel from the nearby twin bases at RAF Woodbridge and RAF Bentwaters witnessed phenomena that none of them have ever been able to explain. The official memo spoke of ‘unexplained lights’ – UFOs being too emotive a term – but\, as later emerged\, there was much more to it than that. \nWe have created a new experience that takes you on a trip from London to the silent beauty of the Suffolk woods\, from the present day to the height of the Cold War\, from the everyday to the uncanny. Whether you want to believe\, or you are resolutely sceptical\, within the remarkable events we find a story of our own fears and compulsions.

SUMMARY:Justin Edgar: Reasonable Adjustment exhibition - Online exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Please click on the website link to enter this Online Exhibition. In the late 1980s and early 1990s\, disabled activists named Reasonable Adjustment (RAD) fought Margaret Thatcher’s right-wing government and an oppressive medical establishment to gain rights. Regarded as terrorists by some and freedom fighters by others\, their actions included a shooting by blind activists during a live BBC TV broadcast and the bombing of Euston Underground station in protest at a lack of accessible transport. \nIn this exhibition\, Justin Edgar showcases artefacts he has collected over 30 years which document the Reasonable Adjustment movement\, including photographs he took as an art student during the height of their activity in the early 1990’s. The exhibition includes posters\, artefacts and a 1991 television documentary on Reasonable Adjustment previously thought lost\, but recently rediscovered. In the light of nine years of austerity cuts to disabled people\, some might say it’s as though RAD never happened at all. \nJustin Edgar is a Director of 104 Films and one of the UK’s leading Disabled film producers. The Reasonable Adjustment exhibition premiered in January 2020 at the Art House in Wakefield\, but the physical tour has been suspended.

She is a columnist for The Guardian\, writes for magazines including VOGUE\, Time and National Geographic and her book Brit(ish): On Race\, Identity and Belonging was a Sunday Times bestseller.

SUMMARY:Comedy Shows - Shazia Mirza: Coconut
DESCRIPTION:https://youtu.be/30YzlF5N5rk \nComedy Shows with Award-winning Shazia Mirza is taking on the burning (and infectious) issues of our time in her latest show.\n“I wrote this show two years ago. It was relevant\, funny\, timely\, and I knew every single bit of it. Then one day in March\, the world ended. I had nothing to do\, nowhere to go\, and I did what everyone else was doing. I sat on the settee in my pyjamas\, stuffing myself with Nutella whilst watching documentaries on Ted Bundy. I thought I’d better change my show and make it more relevant: no one cares about reality TV\, celebrity and me starving in a jungle; let’s get real. \nPeople have been struggling to get eggs these past 12 months. Prince Harry told The Queen to do one\, Meghan Markle turned into the new Yoko Ono\, and a few more black people were on ITV. But\, then\, things got serious\, and I have to make some jokes on this while I’m playing to sell-out crowds of 100 people in 3000 seater stadiums”. \nRecently seen back to absolute basics in Channel 4’s Celebrity Island with Bear Grylls\, taking a speedy turn (2.07 seconds to be exact) in BBC2’s Top Gear and temporarily enjoying the high life in Channel 4’s Travel Man – 48 Hours In… Côte d’Azur\, Shazia has also guested on ITV’s Jonathan Ross and Loose Women\, BBC1’s The One Show\, and is a regular panellist on Channel 5’s The Wright Stuff. \nOur prices are subject to demand\, so book early to guarantee seats at the best price. \n

SUMMARY:Velvet Society – المجتمع المخملي: Power and Glamour in 90s Damascus\, Syria
DESCRIPTION:With Velvet Society\, we strive to empower Syrian women and culture: it is an exhibition displaying the creative acts of survival in fashion and fabric of two Syrian women\, civil engineer Raghad Mardini and Artist Heba Al-Akkad. The exhibition is in conjunction with Refugee Week. We have also organised a series of interactive events that will complement the exhibition\, including two workshops\, one artist-led tour of the exhibition\, one live panel and one webinar.\n. \n\n\n\nAbout The Exhibition\n\n\n\n\nLitehouse Gallery is honoured to present Velvet Society\, an exhibition displaying the creative acts of survival in fashion and fabric of two Syrian women\, civil engineer Raghad Mardini and artist Heba Al-Akkad. The 90s fashion collection of Mardini\, emanating from the wealthy and powerful class of the self-styled “velvet society” prominent in 90s Syria\, will be juxtaposed with a range of vibrant artworks made in fabric and fibre by Heba Al-Akkad. A powerful dialogue will be established between these collections\, to expose a Damascus of the 90s dominated by complexes of glamour and power\, at once joyful yet troubled\, wielded both by and against the women in question.\n\n\n\n\n\nThe exhibition centres itself around the stories of these two Syrian Muslim women. From differing backgrounds\, they\, as refugees from the Syrian uprising\, struck up a friendship founded on a mutual interest in creativity within visual arts. Viewers will bear witness to their testimonies of liberation from religious and patriarchal violence. Photographs\, art objects and items of fashion are displayed to invigorate a commentary on feminism\, female freedom and Syrian history\, linked by the medium of textiles.\n\n\n\n\n\nProf. Janis Jefferies\, Emeritus Professor at Goldsmiths University\, has explained the salience of clothes in this exhibition:\n\n\n\n\nClothing carries powerful signs of non-verbal communication. It covers us\, it represents individual identities that can be played with\, disrupted and challenge what we do in our everyday lives\, both physically and sexually. If we are displaced or exiled from our homes or driven out by war\, what we wear changes. In this exhibition we see how two Muslim women become friends. They connect through art\, through their different relationship with material; a veil is worn\, designer labels are displayed. Photographs act as documents; new objects are made.\n\n\n\n\nBy bringing these stories to UK audiences in a seductive yet forceful exhibition\, fashion devotees and art lovers alike will explore the political nature of clothing\, how it shapes the representation of women in fashion\, society and art. Beliefs about Middle Eastern women will be challenged and a broader and richer recent Syrian history will emerge.\n\n\n\n\n\nHeba Al-Akkad was born in Damascus in 1981. She graduated from the Faculty of Fine Arts at Damascus University 2006. She now lives and works in Gothenburg\, Sweden\, where she has been able to escape the cycle of familial violence and abuse that she suffered since girlhood. She has had solo shows across Europe and the Middle East. Litehouse Gallery has commissioned work from Al-Akkad on themes of self-identity and dress.\n\n\n\n\n\nRaghad Mardini\, on the other hand\, found herself inducted into the “velvet society”\, a figurative term for a class involved in high business and power in Syria during the 90s. Photographs from Mardini’s archive will give visual evidence of the velvet society\, which\, after many years of negotiating its excesses and its alienating demands\, she finally decided to reject. These photographs will be shown alongside a fashion collection supplied by western designers including Dior\, Versace\, Mugler\, Chanel\, Galliano\, YSL\, Alaia as well as Syrian designer Nicola Khoury\, all of which Mardini wore during her time within the velvet society. The exhibition will not just highlight the vibrancy of those times and the relentless glamour demanded in the velvet society\, but will look deeper into how female sexuality was weaponised in the game of politics and money.\n\n\n\n\n\nThis is an exhibition about how\, in 90s Damascus\, fabric dazzled\, lured\, sheltered\, bound\, concealed\, and\, as time wore on\, changed.\n\n.\n\n\n\n\nProgramme of Events\n\n\n\n\nAlongside the exhibition\, we are organising a series of events ranging from workshops and live panels.

Many Syrian artists who had fled to Lebanon were unable to continue their practice due to trauma and financial hardship. At ARA\, for a month\, they had bed\, board\, space\, freedom\, and all the materials needed to enable them to make art again. ARA also curated exhibitions and performances worldwide.\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nEmail info@litehousegallery.co.uk\n\n\n\n\n\nWebsite www.litehousegallery.co.uk\n\n\n\n\n\nOnline Shop www.litehousegalleryshop.co.uk/\n\n\n\n\n\nPhone +44 7833 700 984\n\n.\n\n\n\n\n\nQuick-links www.linktr.ee/litehousegallery\n\n\n\n\n\nInstagram www.instagram.com/litehousegallery\n\n\n\n\n\nFacebook www.facebook.com/litehousegallery\n\n\n\n\n\nTwitter www.twitter.com/Litehousegalery\n\n.\n\n\n\n\nExhibition Information\n\n\n\n\n.\n\nExhibition\n\n\n\n\n\nVelvet Society – المجتمع المخملي: Power and Glamour in 90s Damascus\n\n\n\n\n\n.\n\nPresented by\n\n\n\n\n\nLitehouse Gallery\n\n\n\n\n\nwww.litehousegallery.co.uk\n\n\n\n\n\n.\n\nVenue\n\n\n\n\n\nP21 Gallery (Kings Cross)\n\n\n\n\n\n21-27 Chalton Street\, London NW1 1JD\, UK\n\n\n\n\n\nwww.p21.gallery\n\n\n\n\n\n.\n\nDates\n\n\n\n\n\n23rd June – 23rd July\n\n\n\n\n\n.\n\nOpening Hours\n\n\n\n\n\nTuesday\, Thursday & Friday: 12 – 6pm\n\n\n\n\n\nWednesday: 12 – 8pm\n\n\n\n\n\nSaturday: 12 – 4pm\n\n\n\n\n\n.\n\nEntry is free. No appointment necessary.

SUMMARY:Charles I and the Civil Wars: The World Turned Upside Down
DESCRIPTION:At 2 pm\, on Tuesday 30 January 1649\, King Charles I stepped onto a wooden scaffold outside Whitehall’s Banqueting House\, knelt in front of thousands of spectators and was publicly beheaded as a traitor. It was the brutal climax of years of civil war\, which had seen tens of thousands of people lose their lives and livelihoods as the kingdoms of England\, Wales\, Scotland and Ireland were plunged into chaos. \nIn this fascinating collaboration with the Museum of London Docklands and HistFest\, bestselling authors Jessie Childs and Leanda de Lisle\, and critically acclaimed playwright and history teacher Thabo Stuck will explore the complex events that led to the fateful moment of Charles’s execution. From the sweeping history of the civil wars and the human stories of debates\, battles and sieges to the mood within the royal court\, the character of Charles I himself\, the resilience of his wife Henrietta Maria\, and the decade-long republican rule that followed. \nIncluding music from Thabo Stuck’s critically acclaimed play\, #50Days\, a panel discussion and immersive re-enactment from the English Civil War Society\, discover the realities of a world turned upside down. There will be an opportunity to purchase the authors’ books at the end of the talk. \nThere are also digital tickets available to watch a livestream of the event. \n  \nAbout \nThabo Stuck is a history teacher from London and the creator and writer of #50Days. #50Days\, Thabo’s debut writing project\, is a Grime Musical that tells the story of the period that leads up to the outbreak of the 17th Century British Civil Wars. Using Grime music\, this show gives underrepresented Brits a voice in telling the story of one of the most integral but often misunderstood narratives of our nation. Described by The Independent as ‘a hurtling exploration of politics and revolution’. \nJessie Childs is an award-winning author\, historian and broadcaster. Her first book\, Henry VIII’s Last Victim\, won the Elizabeth Longford Prize for Historical Biography\, and her second\, God’s Traitors\, won the PEN Hessell-Tiltman Prize for History. Her third book\, The Siege of Loyalty House: A Civil War Story\, was published in May and hailed by Simon Schama as ‘almost Tolstoyan in its emotional intelligence and literary power’. Jessie reviews for many papers\, including the Sunday Times\, Guardian and London Review of Books\, and her TV contributions include the BAFTA-nominated Elizabeth I’s Secret Agents (BBC 2 & PBS) and two BBC series on Charles I. \nLeanda de Lisle is the author of the bestselling Tudor and Stuart history praised for meticulous research as well as strong narratives. She has a Masters degree in history from Oxford University. TUDOR\, her biography of the Tudor family 1437-1603\, was a top ten Sunday Times bestseller\, BBC History book of the year\, Daily Telegraph book of the year\, and History Today book of the year. THE SISTERS WHO WOULD BE QUEEN; THE TRAGEDY OF MARY\, KATHERINE AND LADY JANE GREY\, was a New York Times best seller and is the inspiration for Phillippa Gregory’s 2017 novel THE LAST TUDOR as well as Elizabeth Fremantle’s Sisters of Treason. WHITE KING\, a biography of the doomed Charles I\, was the winner of the 2018 Historical Writers Association non-fiction crown. Her latest\, on Henrietta Maria\, is a revisionist biography of a reviled queen and a Times and Sunday Times book of the year. \n  \nHistFest is an innovative history festival and events company\, which produces online and in-person events and courses for global audiences. \nThe English Civil War Society bring history to life through the authentic re-creation of 17th-century military and civil life\, stimulating interest in the turbulent period in British history when the country was torn apart by civil war. \n

SUMMARY:Going Deutsch
DESCRIPTION:Should you ever go back to someone\, or something\, that almost destroyed you? What if they’re sorry? What if they say they’ve changed? What if they’re offering an EU passport? \n\n\n\nFollowing a bereavement\, Brexit and a bad break-up\, Anna decides to make some changes. When Anna suggested getting back with her ex\, her friends were appalled\,  and to her surprise\, her family felt very much the same way when she jumped into bed with Germany. \n\n\n\nIn ‘Going Deutsch’ Anna dates the country offering her citizenship despite taking the lives (and passports) of so many who came before her. Should she get back with Germany? Can they get past their history? Could they ever make it work? \n\n\n\nGoing Deutsch is a comedic show about relationships\, inherited trauma and how much the past shapes the future. \n\n\n\n“Anna’s storytelling\, stagecraft and wizardry at engaging her audience was utterly superb” – Mag North“Brilliantly executed” – Louder than War

A Sensitive Person (Eng. trans.\, Yale\, 2023); Angel Station (Eng. trans.\, Dalkey Archive\, 2017); The Devil’s Workshop (Eng. trans.\, Portobello\, 2013); Gargling With Tar (Eng. trans.\, Portobello\, 2010); and City/Sister/Silver (Eng. trans. Catbird\, 2000)\, who will talk about practicing creative literature in the final years of Czechoslovak Communism and the early years thereafter. \nFollowed by a roundtable discussion: \n‘Gaming the System: Language\, Conformism\, and Breaking Conventions\, From Václav Havel’s Absurdism to the Age of X’ \n2023 marks the 60th anniversary of The Garden Party\, one of Havel’s most famous plays. Often understood as an Absurdist critique of modern bureaucracy\, the play is also a tale about an ambitious young man who becomes a master of ‘gaming the system’. Havel’s protagonist Hugo thus embodies a paradox: he shows the extraordinary social pressure placed on people to conform to social expectations if they are to get ahead in life\, but he simultaneously demonstrates the enormous creativity through which they find ways to ‘game the system’ and break the rules. This round-table discussion will explore this curious dynamic of conformism and unconventionality\, of obedience and rule-bending\, of socialization and sabotage\, and will consider how far Havel’s mid-20th-century example of formalized bureaucratic communication (and the implicit parallel to authoritarian power structures) holds for early 21st-century culture and in particular for the ways social media have changed the way we interact for better and for ill. \nDiscussants: \nTim Beasley-Murray is Associate Professor of European thought and Culture at UCL and works on literature\, politics and ideas in English\, French\, German and sometimes Czech and Slovak. He has written a book on games (and how they can be serious) that will come out later this year. \nBarbara Day arrived as a student in Prague in 1965\, just in time to see the original productions of Havel’s plays and to experience the great surge of theatre activity. She maintained her connections with Czechoslovakia through the years of the Soviet occupation and consequent ‘Normalisation’. In 1985 she created the Bristol Czech Fest and the same year began to work with the ‘underground university’\, through the Oxford-based Jan Hus Educational Foundation. In 1999 she published The Velvet Philosophers and in 2019 Trial by Theatre: Reports on the Czech Drama. \nErin Plunkett is Senior Lecturer in Philosophy and Religious Studies at the University of Hertfordshire. She is co-editor with Ivan Chvatík of the Selected Writings of Jan Patočka: Care for the Soul (Bloomsbury\, 2022)\, and author of A Philosophy of the Essay: Scepticism\, Experience and Style (Bloomsbury\, 2020). \nDavid S. Danaher is a Professor of and Program Head for Slavic Studies in the Department of German\, Nordic\, and Slavic at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. His two most recent books are Reading Václav Havel (University of Toronto Press\, 2015) and\, co-edited with Kieran Williams\, Václav Havel’s Meanings: His Key Words\, Their Context and Legacy (Karolinum Press and University of Chicago Press\, forthcoming 2023). He has taught a monograph course on Havel’s writing to undergraduates from all disciplines since 2002. \nModerator: \nPeter Zusi\, Associate Professor of Czech and Comparative Literature\, UCL. \nThe roundtable discussion will be followed by a wine reception. \nThe 2023 Václav Havel European Dialogues are supported by the Sekyra Foundation and are an initiative of the Václav Havel Library. \n  \nRegistration: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/vaclav-havel-european-dialogues-2023-tickets-719670131737?aff=oddtdtcreator

SUMMARY:The Right to Protest: A Cumberland Lodge London Dialogue
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a conversation about our right to protest\, and its evolving role in shaping a better future. Protest is recognised not only as a human right\, but also as a powerful catalyst for change. Young people\, historically at the forefront of activism\, continue to engage in protests on issues such as the climate crisis\, social inequalities\, and international conflicts. \nHowever\, recent government legislation\, including the Policing Act 2022 and the Public Order Act 2023\, new forms of technology and surveillance\, and increasingly dispersed centres of power\, are changing how we think about dissent\, and what is possible to achieve. \nThe 2024 Cumberland Lodge London Dialogue will explore this evolving landscape of protest in the 21st century\, deciphering what these changes may mean for all of us. A panel of research\, student\, and activist voices\, chaired by The Rt Hon the Baroness Usha Prashar\, will debate the new dynamics of protest\, and the impact of new government legislation. \nOur speakers will include Dr Daniella Lock (University of Oxford) and Jodie Beck (Liberty)\, with further details to be announced. \n  \n14 May 2024 from 6:30-8:30pm at Goodenough College\, London \n  \nTickets: £10 (£5 concessions) including light refreshments \n  \nVisit cumberlandlodge.ac.uk/events to book
