SUMMARY:Nature Morte: The Extermination of Ukraine
DESCRIPTION:Nature Morte: The Extermination of Ukraine is the result of extensive research by British artist Piers Secunda. \nApproaching the deliberate destruction of cultural history and national identity through the depiction of traditional Ukrainian dishes and their ingredients\, at first sight Nature Morte is an exhibition of still lifes. Based on photographs taken by Secunda during visits to Ukraine in 2024 and 2026\, the paintings were made with ink he produced from charcoal gathered in Kharviv\, the site of the first Ukrainian Government building destroyed by Russia’s invasion in 2022. \nArranged as pyramids to reflect the power structures behind the kidnapping and forced military training of Ukranian children\, and the hierarchies behind the targeted bombing and systematic looting of cultural artefacts\, the paintings act as portals to an archive of evidence. Reached via QR codes\, the names and faces of the perpetrators are presented alongside extensive supporting material. \nThe exhibition is complemented by a map of more than five thousand points of damage to cultural sites recorded across Ukraine\, and a 40-minute documentary by Secunda’s long-term collaborator David Miller. \n  \nFor more details\, click HERE

SUMMARY:Unwriting the Artist’s Statement | Online Workshop with Elle Reynolds
DESCRIPTION:‘Unwriting the Artist’s Statement’ is a focused\, playful online workshop centred on conversation\, making\, and discovering your own voice. \nThe session invites you to abscond from International Art English and respond directly to your work. Moving away from the critical language often used to address contemporary art\, the workshop proposes different protocols for speaking about your practice to the world.  \nThrough a series of guided prompts\, improvisation\, and gentle exercises\, participants will work with revision\, association\, and a deliberate quality of randomness to develop ways of using their own voice. The focus is on speaking through the work rather than separating language from practice. \nThe workshop is hosted by IMT Gallery and led by artist and educator Elle Reynolds\, whose practice works through collaborative processes\, storytelling\, and material experimentation. \nFor makers\, artists\, writers\, anti-writers\, poets\, curators at any stage of their practice\, and anyone interested in finding alternative ways to speak about their work. It is especially useful if you are preparing portfolios\, applications\, or exhibitions\, or if you simply want your language to feel more natural and connected to what you do. \nPlaces are limited — the workshop takes place on Sunday 16 August\, 3-5pm (BST). \nFollow the link below to learn more and book. \nhttps://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/guest-house-unwriting-the-artists-statement-online-workshop-tickets-1992700479777

SUMMARY:Thieves in Satin - Londons Queens of Crime

Inspired by the infamous all-female UK crime syndicate\, The Forty Elephants\, this breathtaking dance spectacle unravels the story of Diamond Alice\, The Bobbed Hair Bandit\, and Baby-Faced Maggie—women who stole more than just riches; they stole the spotlight. \nBorn in the shadows of a Lambeth workhouse\, Alice Diamond had no choice but to fight for survival. A master thief by her teens\, she rose to power as the formidable Queen of the Forty Elephants\, leading a gang of fearless women who lived by their own rules. By the 1920s\, they had reached legendary status—draped in satin\, dripping in stolen jewels\, and dancing the night away with the very aristocrats they deceived. \nNow in its 4th triumphant year\, Moving Stories Dance Company has captivated audiences with its bold\, narrative-driven productions. The company makes it’s exciting debut at The Cockpit.  Featuring an ensemble of ballet\, contemporary\, and West End performers\, the company is known for blending gripping storytelling with dynamic choreography. \nTHIEVES IN SATIN is a thrilling fusion of elegance and danger\, a celebration of rebellion and resilience. Join us for an unforgettable journey through the hidden underworld of 1920s London—where crime was an art\, and these women were the masters. \nDon’t just watch history—experience it.

SUMMARY:The Boy in the Ocean
DESCRIPTION:The Boy in the Ocean is a raw and intimate new play exploring the aftermath of sexual assault through fragmented memory\, movement\, and storytelling. Performed primarily as a one-person piece\, with a movement ensemble in support\, the play follows a young man as he attempts to make sense of his memories and navigate what comes after trauma. \nBlending naturalistic dialogue with physical theatre\, the piece moves between past and present\, reflecting the often disjointed reality of memory and healing. \nDeveloped from personal experience and taking inspiration from other true stories\, the play approaches difficult subject matter with honesty\, contributing to conversations around male experiences of sexual assault that are often underrepresented on stage. \nContent warnings: Themes of sexual assault\, trauma\, and strong language.

SUMMARY:London Loo Tour
DESCRIPTION:It’s Not the Bog-Standard London Experience! \nPrepare to be immersed (metaphorically\, that is!) in a world where the humble toilet becomes a portal to explore history\, anthropology\, art\, architecture\, identity\, and of course\, our sense of humour. \nFrom the earliest latrines through to the future of flushing\, your guide will take you on a whirlwind tour through the history of Britain’s public toilets\, with plenty of interesting sights and practical tips along the way.

SUMMARY:Baroque Bridges - Baroque and Early Classical Music Concert

The concert will also feature compelling rhythms and haunting melodies from Jean Philippe Rameau\, one of the Buskaid musicians’ favourite composers\, and we celebrate both ensembles’ affection for Henry Purcell with a selection of incidental music from his King Arthur and Faerie Queen. \nThe concert will end\, as Buskaid concerts always do\, with Kwela music\, an improvised genre of street music with roots in traditional African township music and anti-apartheid protest songs\, arranged and performed (with dance moves!) by members of the Buskaid ensemble. \nThanks to… \nThis unique cross-continental musical exchange would not have been possible without a grant from the Continuo Foundation\, which enables musicians in the UK Early Music sector to build thriving careers while sharing inspiring music with people in every corner of the UK. \nPerformers \nViolin: Gabriella Jones; Tshidiso Boikanyo; Keabetswe Goodman; Lesang Malema\, Solly Mathipa; Makhadzi Mabogo \nViola: Nthabiseng Madiba; Lesego Mthembu \nCello: Florence Petit; Koketso Mphela; Tebogo Mushi \nBass: Khumo Gumede \nRecorder: Mary-Jannet Leith \nHarpsichord: Thomas Allery \nEnsemble Hesperi is a dynamic period ensemble and UK-registered charity\, with a passion for bringing Baroque music to audiences through collaborative\, research-led programmes and educational projects. \nBuskaid is an SA-registered charitable trust\, which runs a music school in Diepkloof\, Soweto.

SUMMARY:Linda Smith & Band + Trash Kit  + Stuart Moxham
DESCRIPTION:Upset The Rhythm presents… \nLINDA SMITH & BAND\nTRASH KIT\nSTUART MOXHAM\nThursday 20 August\nThe Lexington\, 96-98 Pentonville Rd\, Angel\, London\, N1 9JB\n7.30pm | £14 | Tickets: https://link.dice.fm/X7d766a04577 \nLINDA SMITH is a pioneer of home recording who self-released her music originally on cassette starting in 1987. In the early 90’s\, indie labels Slumberland and Harriet Records expanded her reach with the release of two seven inch eps. Recently\, Brooklyn label Captured Tracks has reissued two complete albums on vinyl\, and she has begun to tour in the US and internationally for the first time. Upset The Rhythm released a recent split single between Smith and The Smashing Times last year too. Paste magazine called Linda Smith “a hidden treasure of America’s pop underground”\, while Jangle Pop Hub has written that “essentially this is the best bedroom pop you are ever likely to hear\, directly from an age that did not really know what to do with it”. For this rare UK show Linda will be joined by her live band. \nhttps://lindasmith2.bandcamp.com/ \nTRASH KIT are Ray Aggs (guitar\, vocals)\, Rachel Horwood (drums\, vocals) and Clémentine March (bass). Three deeply creative individuals who play in a multitude of other groups including Bas Jan and Sacred Paws\, not to mention their solo outings. Their songs\, once succinct\, patchwork post-punk numbers of an honest diary-like nature\, now tussle more with long-form songwriting\, expeditious polyphony and cascades of sung-spoke vocals. Although Trash Kit have their forebears in bands like Sleater Kinney\, The Ex and The Raincoats\, their sound is still very much their own take on facing forwards and relies as much on the naturalism of an internalised folk music as on their sincerity of vision. Since forming in 2009\, Trash Kit have released three albums for Upset The Rhythm and a selection of singles. Trash Kit’s approach to life as with music is one of openness\, inclusion and potential\, and their most recent album ‘Horizon’ has this in dutiful abundance. \nhttps://upsettherhythm.bandcamp.com/album/horizon \nSTUART MOXHAM requires little introduction. Few artists arrive as compellingly yet elusively as did Stuart Moxham upon the startling debut of Young Marble Giant’s sole studio album\, Colossal Youth (Rough Trade\, 1980). Initial excitement was thrust upon the young Alison Statton\, who sang songs written by Stuart with a couple of exceptions. The unaffected tone of her voice was in steep contrast to the typical goings-on in that still quite punk time\, but it was what she sang that fully sold it. Moxham’s lyrics were both intensely personal and woefully oblique. There seemed to be a sort of story in there. After those YMG days\, Moxham worked on a project called The G!st and released an album and several singles also on Rough Trade. Since the mid-80s Moxham has focused mainly on solo acoustic work\, releasing 17 albums to date\, including one by songwriting duo Moxham & Halliday. Stuart Moxham is a composer of the upper echelon of innate talent who combines avant-garde ideas with deceptively forthright personal lyrics\, solid hooks\, ambience and vaguely off-centre instrumentation which defies the casual marketplace as confoundingly as it ever did to the underground. Last year Tiny Global Productions released Moxham’s most recent album ‘Winter Sun’\, featuring Linda Smith on backing vocals.\nhttps://stuartmoxham.bandcamp.com/

SUMMARY:Music Hath No Borders - South African Buskaid Ensemble in Concert - 21.08.26
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a magical fundraising concert with ten members of the internationally renowned South African Buskaid Ensemble – a performance of live classical music from Handel and Elgar to township Kwela music. \nThis is a poignant venue for Buskaid: Buskaid’s Founder\, Rosemary Nalden\, is the daughter of the late Charles Nalden CBE\, one of Coram’s most distinguished foundlings. The Buskaid musicians are themselves no strangers to hardship: like Coram\, Buskaid offers transformative opportunities for less advantaged young people. \nFor this musical celebration\, Rosemary has chosen music to link both charities\, including the Chaconne from Terpsichore by Handel\, Coram’s most famous benefactor\, and Elgar’s Sospiri\, honouring Rosemary’s father\, an accomplished harpist who loved the music of Edward Elgar. The concert will end with a rousing burst of township ‘Kwela’ music\, arranged by the Buskaid musicians themselves. \nTickets and Timings \nTickets can be booked on Eventbrite. \nAll tickets include a welcome drink\, and private access to the Foundling Museum‘s exhibition\, including the special exhibition display\, 300 Years of the ‘Rival Queens’: Handel’s 1726 Opera Season. \n6 pm: Access to the Foundling Museum for all guests. \n7 pm-9 pm: Concert with interval. \nAbout Buskaid \nThe Buskaid Music School was founded by Rosemary Nalden in 1997 in response to requests from the less privileged local community in Diepkloof Soweto. At its inception\, it comprised just 15 children; its current membership stands at 82. To meet this demand\, in 2002 Buskaid initiated a teacher-training course for all its students; all the musicians playing tonight are employed by Buskaid as highly-skilled string teachers. \nThe Buskaid Ensemble is world-renowned for its high-performance standards and its innate grasp of musical style\, and as a result\, has undertaken 28 international tours to Europe and the Americas. It is the only African orchestra to have performed at the BBC Proms. \nThe Ensemble has collaborated with many distinguished artists such as Sir John Eliot Gardiner\, Melvyn Tan\, Steven Isserlis and Karl Jenkins. It has performed in the presence of numerous dignitaries\, notably the late Nelson Mandela\, Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II\, King Charles III\, and Michelle Obama. \nProgramme \nJean-Philippe Rameau – Air pour les Guerriers; Entrée De Polymnie; Contredanses I & II \nHenry Purcell – Fairest Isle; Rondeau; If Love’s a Sweet Passion; Chaconne \nEdward Elgar – Sospiri (Sighs) \nJean Sibelius – Impromptu \nGeorge Frideric Handel – Terpsichore HWV 8b: Chacconne \nKwela\, Afro-jazz and Afro-pop (Arr.

SUMMARY:Sir Richard Bishop + Arianne Churchman + Benedict Drew
DESCRIPTION:Upset The Rhythm presents… \nSIR RICHARD BISHOP\nARIANNE CHURCHMAN & BENEDICT DREW\nFriday 21 August\nSt Pancras Old Church\, Pancras Road\, King’s Cross\, NW1 1UL\n7.30pm | £14 | Tickets: https://link.dice.fm/hea0794d9d24 \nSIR RICHARD BISHOP is renowned for his mercurial guitar-playing for 26 years with Seattle ethno-delic legends Sun City Girls\, but he has wrought a distinguished solo canon as well. He combines soulfulness and advanced technique with a panache that’s nearly unrivalled among today’s guitarists. Bishop strums spiritual with incantatory ragas\, free-folk excursions\, crystalline flamenco flourishes\, ruddy Appalachian folk\, Middle Eastern-tinged fantasias and gypsy arabesques. This is eclecticism done with respect and third-eye-dilating filigree; his compositions attain a sepia-toned wistfulness and a psychedelic complexity. \nBishop’s first solo record\, ‘Salvador Kali’\, was released by John Fahey’s esteemed Revenant Records label in 1998. Locust Music issued his second record\, ‘Improvika’ (2004)\, which consisted of nine extemporaneous pieces for solo acoustic guitar. More recently\, ‘Tangier Sessions’ was released by Drag City in 2015. It consists of a series of improvisations recorded in Tangier\, Morocco in 2014 using a 19th-century parlour guitar of mysterious origin. Bishop’s latest album\, ‘Hillbilly Ragas ‘was released last September to widespread acclaim\, whilst Drag City are currently prepping new title ‘Hillbilly Erotica’ as a speculative\, avant-garde sequel to his stripped-back acoustic explorations. \nhttps://sirrichardbishop.com/ \nARIANNE CHURCHMAN & BENEDICT DREW are visual artists and musicians. Based in London and Kent\, their work together draws from English traditional music\, minimalism\, music concrete and electronic music. Using analogue synthesisers\, acoustic instruments and layered vocals\, their work starts with traditional song\, with its lyrics corrupted and reimagined; it is then woven into sonic collages and landscapes\, each layer spiralling out a little further from the last\, building into ecstatic melodies\, rhythms and dreamscapes.

SUMMARY:Church Street Goes Wild
DESCRIPTION:Imagine if nature reclaimed the triangle on Church Street! Come and join local theatre makers and artists to create a world where Church Street goes wild across August. \nWe’re taking part in Westminster City Council’s Inside Out outdoor arts festival this summer. The festival showcases fun and unique cultural events across the city and best of all\, events are free for everybody to enjoy! \nFor the first three Sundays in August\, The Cockpit will be hosting creative making days outside in the triangle on Church Street. They are for everyone of any age to come together and build a temporary art installation\, using arts and crafts to make plants\, animals and fungi. Each Sunday it will grow and take up more of the space and then be cleared away at the end of the day. On the fourth Sunday\, this will culminate in a short physical theatre performance that will take place in the community made art installation on the triangle. \n  \nFor more details click HERE
