SUMMARY:Nina | Battersea Arts Centre
DESCRIPTION:“I’m a seagull. No\, that’s not right. I’m an actress.”\nA series of actresses audition to play Nina in The Seagull for a charismatic\, yet sinister director. His methods are unorthodox\, annihilating\, and very effective. \nIn a debut play from celebrated director Caroline Williams\, co-directed by award-\nwinning artist Deborah Pearson\, NINA questions why so many women are drawn to\nplay an actress who has everything taken away from her by men. And why do the men\nin Chekhov’s original play keep trying to turn the girls they fancy into dead seagulls? \nIn a post #MeToo era\, NINA is a meta theatrical fever dream on coercion\, power and the quest for creative expression. \n“One of the most insightful encounters I have had in a theatre.” Theatre Voices \n“If the opportunity presents itself to see Pearson’s work you must go immediately.” The Huffington Post

SUMMARY:Comedy Club 4 Kids | The Exchange Theatre Twickenham
DESCRIPTION:A taste of some of the biggest names in comedy – for kids and their grown-ups!\n\n\nIt’s a comedy club\, right\, but for kids. Also any adults who enjoy a swear-free hour with the international circuit’s best stand-ups and sketch acts. Non-patronizing. Pure awesome. \nSince 2005\, the Comedy Club 4 Kids has been getting the best stand-ups and sketch acts from the international circuit to do their thing for an audience of children (aged 6+) and their families… but without the rude bits! A decade later\, the company has expanded from one London residency to being countrywide\, running shows and workshops all over the UK from Peebles to Portsmouth\, even producing a book on how to write and perform stand-up. The show is family friendly\, but without any patronizing idiocy. In fact\, it’s just like a normal comedy club\, but it’s on in the day\, kids are allowed in\, and thus there is a higher than usual chance of heckles like “why is that your face!?” \n\n\n\n\n Please note all audience members must be 6+ \n\n\n\n\nFor more information about Comedy Club 4 Kids events and line up please visit Comedy Club 4 Kids Website \nTickets: \nAdult £14 \nChild £10 \nFamily of 4 £40 (2 adults\, 2 children or 1 adult\, 3 children)

SUMMARY:Attending Landscapes: Walking\, Listening and Mapping with Harri Harrison
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a four-session online course exploring how to see and sense landscape through walking\, listening and shared attention. \n‘Attending Landscapes: Walking\, Listening and Mapping’ invites you to develop a deeper relationship with the landscapes around you. Through walking\, sensory mapping\, drawing\, writing and observation\, we will explore acts of witnessing and encountering green environments\, asking how we come to know a place deeply\, understand its stories\, and what these stories might reveal about our own internal landscapes. \nAcross four fortnightly sessions\, you’ll be encouraged to return to a local green space\, building an ongoing relationship through creative prompts\, shared discussion and attentive practice. You will learn to time-travel with this land. \nLed by artist and educator Harri Harrison and hosted by IMT Gallery\, the course offers a reflective and practical space for artists\, writers\, educators\, walkers and anyone interested in developing a more attentive relationship with landscape.  \n🌿 Places are limited — the course begins 13 September. \nReady to see the landscapes around you differently?

SUMMARY:Ben Çoktan Gidersiniz Sanmiştim - Tom Pain
DESCRIPTION:Ben Çoktan Gidersiniz Sanmıştım – korku üzerine bir oyun.\nAç tırnak\, “Korku: \n1. Yüzün münferit kısımları\, mesela gözler ya da ağız\, ya da gözler.\n2. Lower Meersham’ın kuzey iç kesimlerinin güneydoğusunda bulunan başkenti. Nüfus: 8\,000\,001\, yaklaşık olarak.\n3. Korku\,\n4. Üçüncü maddeye bakın.\n5. Konuşma dilinde. Eski dilde. Fiil. Ya da isim. Duruma göre.” Kapa tırnak. \nBir adam\, sözlük\, Thom Pain\, yalnızlık\, çocukluk\, bir arı ya da kelimeler\, bencillik\, aşk\, kaybetmek\, çok aşk\, çok kaybetmek ve bir köpek; kocaman gözleri olan bir köpek. \nÇok severken kaybedenlerin oyunu BEN ÇOKTAN GİDERSİNİZ SANMIŞTIM\, gerçek hayatın\, insan ve hayvan arasındaki ilişkinin yakın bir örneği.\nTek kelimeyle kusursuzluk diye tarif edilen bir aşkın içinde çok severken gidebilmek ya da romantizmin jargonunun dengeli olmak\, beraber zaman geçirmek\, dışarı çıkmak olarak belirlendiği bir dünyada bu kelimelerdeki acıyı anlamak için ciddi sarsılmalar\, görme kaybı ve bir yıl evden çıkmama gerekliliği. \nBu oyun yaşam ile ölüm arasında kısa bir an. Korkutucu ve bir o kadar çekici. Korkularının üstüne gidebilenlerin kazandığını söyleyen bir tavsiyenin kenarı belki. \nÇocukluğumuz elimizden kayıp giderken\, gözlerimizle ve kalbimizle dünyanın tüm hislerini arzularken aldığımız birkaç nefes.\nGeçecek diyen bir şarkı.\nYa da çocuk kalmanızı söyleyen bir öcü.\nKarar sizin. \nSorusu olan var mı?\nBizim var: \n“Sizin çocukluğunuz ne zaman bitti? Ne kadar kötü incindiniz\, ne zamandı bu\, daha bu kadarcıkken\, bu küçücük\, hemen incinebilir şeyken; iki büyük gözden\, bir kalpten\, birkaç yüz kelimeden başka bir şey değilken? Asla iyileşmememiz mükemmel değil mi? Yaralanmalarımız\, yaralarımız\, hanımlar beyler. Hafife alınmalarımız\, suistimal edilmelerimiz\, ah\, cennet cennet. Korku içinde yasamak\, acıyı ihtiyaçlarımıza uygun hale getirmek. Ciddiyim. Ne mutlu bir hayat. Ne güzel bir oyun.”\nHayatta olmak müthiş bir şey değil mi?\nBilmem.\nBelki.

SUMMARY:IN FOCUS: James Clifford Kent & Bharat Patel | Riverside Studios
DESCRIPTION:For our next In Focus at Riverside Studios on 12 October 2026 at 7:15 pm\, we are delighted to welcome documentary photographers James Clifford Kent and Bharat Patel. \nExploring themes of belonging\, healthcare and marginalisation\, their work spans care environments in Cuba and the UK and the lives of India’s nomadic and de-notified nomadic communities. Kent and Patel will share their approaches to building trust\, documenting sensitive human stories\, and the role of documentary photography today. \nJames Clifford Kent is a London-based photographic artist whose research-led practice explores culture\, health and social change. Through long-term relationships and sustained image-making\, he navigates the space between intimate experience and broader social narratives\, focusing on the textures of everyday life and the conditions that shape it. His award-winning work has been exhibited at the National Portrait Gallery and the Royal Academy of Arts\, and featured in BBC News\, The Guardian and The Times. James is co-founder and creative director of Yuma Studios and holds a PhD from Royal Holloway\, University of London\, a Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society (FRPS) and a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (SFHEA). He is the author of Aesthetics and the Revolutionary City and is currently developing his first photobook.\nCentral to Kent’s relationship-led practice is listening. His images result from lasting relationships and sustained dialogue with the people he photographs; allowing presence\, voice and agency to shape the work. This approach also reflects a sharp awareness of positionality — the limits\, responsibilities and ethics of working as an outsider. During his talk “Birth\, Death and Everything In between” James will share work\, stories and experiences from his long-term\, ongoing work in Cuba\, his photographs on maternity wards during the pandemic\, and his recent work in hospices in the UK. \nBharat Patel is a documentary photographer using the camera as a tool to connect with people in overlooked\, difficult\, or marginalised conditions. His work focuses on labour\, survival\, and human dignity capturing the quiet strength in spaces society often ignores. Through intimate portraits and raw environments\, he aims not to evoke pity but to provoke recognition. Even in silence\, he wants his images to speak honestly and to make people look where they usually turn away.\nHe was born in India\, raised in Uganda\, and later moved to England for higher education. He also spent several years working in Brazil. Living across four continents has given him a deep appreciation for diverse cultures\, which continues to shape his perspective and photographic approach.\nIn 2012\, he began what would become a multi-year project to photograph one of the most marginalised groups in India: The Nomadic Tribes and the De-notified Nomadic Tribes. These communities\, whose numbers are estimated to be in the tens of millions\, face systemic exclusion and hardship. These nomads served as entertainers\, singers\, dancers\, knife sharpeners\, snake charmers\, gymnasts\, acrobats\, tightrope walkers\, basket makers\, grain millers\, agricultural labourers\, and herbalists—each tribe possessing its own unique set of skills. However\, their contribution and lifestyle is now at odds with the demands of modern society.

DESCRIPTION:Join the team behind the independent investigative news outlet Byline Times for an entertaining evening of challenging discussion to help us understand the unprecedented times we are living in  – and why they are happening – with those with an inside track. \nThere’s no shortage of strong opinions in Britain today – what’s missing is good-faith debate. Too much of our national conversation has become performative. It seems designed to inflame rather than illuminate. \nThat’s why Byline Times launched our series of ‘Out of the Comfort Zone’ events at the Cockpit in 2025. These interactive discussions have sparked genuinely unexpected and illuminating moments. \nAt a time when many of Britain’s most powerful media proprietors remain distant and unseen\, Byline Times does the opposite: we step out from behind the editorial line and into the room. \nHosted by Byline Times Editor-in-Chief Hardeep Matharu and Co-Founder Peter Jukes\, plus a wide-ranging variety of guest authors\, campaigners and thought leaders. Previous guests have included: broadcaster and academic Bonnie Greer\, journalist and activist Femi Oluwole\, novelist Jake Arnott\, Camerados founder Maff Potts\, XR and Humanity Project co-founder Clare Farrell\, author and Women’s Equality Party co-founder Catherine Mayer\, Conservative commentator Albie Amankona\, investigative journalist and author Nafeez Ahmed\, Asylum Speakers founder Jaz O’Hara\, author and broadcaster John Sweeney and many many more… \nIn addition to current affairs\, there’s also laughter\, readings\, music\, poetry – there’s even been dancing and a good old sing song round the old Joanna – every night is different!

SUMMARY:The Abbey Art Centre as Postwar Refuge\, 1946–56
DESCRIPTION:Ben Uri is delighted to announce the upcoming exhibition\, The Abbey Art Centre as Postwar Refuge\, 1946–56\, marking the simultaneous publication of The Abbey Art Centre in postwar London 1946–1956\, eds.\, Jane Eckette\, Ian McLean and Sheridan Palmer (Routledge)\, this autumn. \nThe exhibition unfolds the remarkable story of the Abbey Art Centre\, a cosmopolitan art colony established at New Barnet in 1946 by charismatic artist\, gallerist and world art collector\, William Ohly (1883–1955). A crucible of creativity on London’s northern edge\, the Abbey was a postwar haven for stateless Jewish refugees\, as well as artists from Australia\, Britain and continental Europe. Ohly’s openness to outsiders extended to his dealings at the Berkeley Galleries in Mayfair\, which opened in late 1941 during the Blitz and where Abbey artists occasionally exhibited\, as well as Commonwealth artists and artists from Ohly’s own world art collection. The Abbey was an important seeding bed for cross-cultural and transnational modernism that proved pivotal to the careers of many artists\, as they navigated the seismic political and cultural shifts taking place in the postwar and postcolonial artistic landscape in Britain and beyond. \nFeaturing paintings\, sculpture\, drawings\, monotypes\, lithographs\, puppets and related photographs\, books and archival materials\, the exhibition includes artworks by Abbey residents Scottish painter Alan Davie\, English sculptor Peter King\, English painter Lilian Colbourn\, German émigré painters and printmakers Marcel Frishman\, Margret Kroch-Frishman and William Ohly\, Austrians Helen Grünwald and Angela Varga\, sculptors Inge King and Gudrun Krüger\, pioneering German animator Lotte Reiniger\, Ukrainian painter Stacha Halpern\, Australian constructivist Robert Klippel and painters James Cant and Mary Webb. Narrative sub-themes include the impact of African and Indigenous Australian art on emerging artists and socially conscious painter-printmakers working in London’s East End. The exhibition also features a small number of artists associated with the Berkeley Galleries including Nigerian modernist Ben Enwonwu\, German sculptor Fred Kormis and Prussian-born graphic artist Katerina Wilczynski\, as well as related photographs\, books and archival materials. \nA book launch and a related series of events will accompany the exhibition.

SUMMARY:Colin Manford - off The Record - Comedy
DESCRIPTION:Colin Manford returns with Off The Record- the music investigation nobody asked for\, but absolutely needed. \nA fast-paced\, storytelling stand-up show that digs into the strangest stories\, myths and mysteries hiding in the world of pop music. \nFrom iconic songs and bizarre recording sessions to misheard lyrics\, urban legends and the questionable behaviour of certain celebrities\, Colin pulls apart the moments we all think we know… and reveals the nonsense underneath. Expect detective-style breakdowns\, wild theories\, visual evidence\, audience interaction\, and a level of confidence about facts that really shouldn’t be delivered with confidence. \nFresh from packed shows across the UK\, Colin blends observational stand-up with multimedia chaos\, cartoon noir slides\, and forensic overanalysis of songs that probably don’t deserve it. It’s silly\, clever\, daft and a genuinely unique take on music-based comedy. \n

SUMMARY:My Life With Kenneth Williams | The Exchange Theatre Twickenham
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of Kenneth Williams’ 100th Birthday\, David Benson revisits the much-missed Carry On star\nDavid Benson burst onto the theatre scene in 1996\, taking the Edinburgh Fringe\, the touring circuit and ultimately the West End by storm with Think No Evil Of Us: My Life With Kenneth Williams.

SUMMARY:3 Evenings: Friday | Somerset House
DESCRIPTION:The opening night of 3 Evenings invites Somerset House Studios artists Gazelle Twin\, Jenkin van Zyl & Agnieszka Szczotka and Lawrence Lek to explore what it means to perform with technology now\, alongside world premieres of newly commissioned interactive installations from Ayoung Kim\, Keiken and Xin Liu and a reimagined work from Louis Morlæ\, across all nights. Friday’s event also features a newly commissioned intervention by Studios artist alumni SERAFINE1369. \nA three-night event and international transmission\, 3 Evenings takes Somerset House Studios’ distinctive approach to interdisciplinary experimentation beyond the Somerset House walls with three different live performance experiments each night\, set within a wider programme of newly commissioned works and interactive installations. \n3 Evenings playfully reimagines the 1966 event 9 Evenings: Theatre and Engineering\, widely regarded as a pivotal moment in the history of artists working with new technologies. Sixty years on from the original event\, artists from the Studios community and international special guests explore what it means to perform with technology now\, in the same radical spirit of experimentation. \nUnfolding within the spaces of a former hydraulic power station\, echoing the industrial character of the original 1960s venue\, this will be a three-night ticketed event offsite at Wapping Hydraulic Power Station.

SUMMARY:(no) Pause: Living Sculpture
DESCRIPTION:Shuyi Alice Wang transforms the body into a living sculpture in a durational performance presented by Zarastro Art during Frieze Sculpture. \n\n\n\n\n(no) Pause: Living Sculpture is a durational outdoor performance presented by Zarastro Art during Frieze Sculpture 2026\, exploring how life continues through constant motion and daily repetition. \nDeveloped from Wang’s ongoing work (no) Pause\, this outdoor iteration focuses on its living sculpture\, bringing the work into direct relationship with the landscape of Regent’s Park and the wider context of Frieze Sculpture. \nRooted to a single patch of grass\, Shuyi Alice Wang moves continuously within a translucent geometric structure. The feet remain in place while the body pivots\, folds\, and extends outwards. The wearable form extends each movement\, following the body without ever completely obeying it. Wind redirects its surfaces\, while changing daylight continually alters its transparency\, reflections\, and shadows. \nThere is no music or composed soundtrack. The work unfolds through breath\, physical effort\, shifting material\, and the sounds of the surrounding park. Actions return\, but no movement can be repeated in exactly the same way. \nFrom a distance\, the figure may appear fixed and monumental; encountered over time\, it is never actually still. When the performer leaves\, the flattened grass remains as a temporary trace of a living\, moving form. \nThe exact location within the English Gardens will be announced ahead of the performance.

SUMMARY:The Odyssey Live!
DESCRIPTION:Inspired by Christopher Nolan’s film release and in homage to Homer’s magnificent epic\, The London Literary Salon presents The Odyssey Live! \n\n\n\n\nThe Odyssey Live! is a new in-person event created by The London Literary Salon\, coming to the Century Club on 17 October. \nSalon founder Toby Brothers\, who has shared the Odyssey with readers aged from 9 to 90\, will be joined by fellow enthusiasts Alexis Cambanis and Susanna Taggart to bring key passages from The Odyssey to life\, following the hero’s 10-year journey home to Ithaca\, his encounters with the Cyclops\, the Sirens and Circe\, and his reunion with his wife and son. \nThe performance will combine readings\, including passages heard in both English and Greek\, illuminated with context and discussion. It will be followed by an audience Q&A exploring why this extraordinary story\, written nearly 3\,000 years ago\, remains so relevant today. \nSign up to The London Literary Salon newsletter here for more information and 20% off the first salon. \n“Whether we know it or not\, The Odyssey is already part of our cultural heritage. If you have seen Star Wars\, read The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn\, watched Ridley Scott’s Gladiator\, or immersed yourself in the world of Harry Potter\, you have glimpsed Homer’s work in the background\,” – Toby Brothers\, founder of the London Literary Salon
