SUMMARY:The Laughing Boy - A New Play by Jack Harte
DESCRIPTION:Dublin 1963 and Brendan Behan’s song The Laughing Boy has become the inspirational anthem of the political Left in Greece. Alexandra\, a student and political activist\, has travelled here to seek out the writer of the song and invite him to Greece to boost the struggle for Socialism. \n\n\n\nHer search comes to an end in a Dublin pub but what she finds there is strange in the extreme. This is not the Brendan Behan she was expecting. In fact she is totally bewildered when two characters claim to be Brendan Behan\, each with a different take on the legendary writer. \n\n\n\nThe play draws on Jack Harte’s engagement with Greece. In 1974 he was there to witness the fall of the Military Junta\, and 40 years later he was back in Athens and discovered the huge impact of Brendan Behan’s song – The Laughing Boy. Jack had a play produced in one of Greece’s ancient amphitheatres. The Laughing Boy is an imaginative and absorbing tale of theatrical and political history.

The space will include a banqueting hall featuring the written word as the meal; a serene zone to help visitors relax; a nostalgia filled locker room that evokes childhood memories; a celebration room filled with glitter and confetti where visitors can party with a neon leopard; an eerie room complete with a scariness scale so that guests can choose the level of spooky that they are comfortable with; a botanist workshop with strange new plants that people may have never encountered; the control room where the ideas stem from; and finally the ‘dream dream’ room\, which will ask visitors what dream they would most like to have tonight. \n  \nMinistry of Stories was co-founded by author Nick Hornby in 2010 and aims to champion the writer in every child. It helps young people in East London discover their confidence\, imagination and potential through the power of their writing. Working primarily with young children in Tower Hamlets\, Hackney and Islington\, the organisation has supported over 20\,000 young people in the local community since its launch through its free weekly community writing labs.  \n  \nMinistry of Stories is partnering with architecture and design studio make:good to bring to life DreamState. make:good works closely with local communities to shape neighbourhood change and support communities to create lasting social infrastructure. They have also partnered with Shoreditch Town Hall who will be hosting the experience at its basement venue\, The Ditch. \n  \nRob Smith\, Director\, Ministry of Stories said: “Ministry of Stories has been supporting local children and championing their writing for fifteen years and we are honoured to be presenting their work to the world in our most ambitious showcase to date.

SUMMARY:Language & Chaos For Beginners: A Lab For New Writers
DESCRIPTION:A playful workshop for the creatively curious. In games of chance and memory excavation\, we’ll spark new language\, scenes\, and storylines. \nDate and time: \nThursday\, October 16 · 6 – 8pm GMT+1. Doors at 5:45pm \nLocation: \nThe Residence Gallery \n229 Victoria Park Road London E9 7HD \nAbout this event: \nDo you ever feel like creative writing is unfamiliar territory\, that your attempts at crafting prose are quickly cut short by self-doubt\, or that––when it comes to language and story––you’re stuck in frustrating patterns? \nThis class invites you into a space of experimentation—through games of chance\, memory excavation\, and playful dives into our own half-remembered myths\, we’ll spark the creation of new language\, scenes\, and storylines. It’s particularly well-suited to those from visual arts backgrounds\, offering intuitive\, image-driven approaches to language and story. We are interested in the emergent: the ideas and worlds which appear in us regardless of our own beliefs about our writing skill. By loosening our grip on outcome and leaning into surprise\, we’ll sidestep habitual thinking and discover unexpected access points into storytelling. \nIf you have no English literature background whatsoever\, you’ll feel right at home; no prior literary training is assumed or required. Our approach is accessible and unpretentious\, with an emphasis on creative exploration rather than jargon. \nOur focus is on generative practices—approaches that forge a way into writing when you feel stuck\, uninspired\, or unsure where to begin. Game objects like dice and tarot cards will help us invite random chance and ‘good chaos’ into our work\, encouraging surprise and spontaneity in the creative process. You’ll collect a range of practical tools to carry with you: ways to jumpstart new projects\, tap into unfamiliar voices\, re-enter stalled scenes\, and re-engage with memory. Curiosity will be our engine as we explore accessible\, repeatable methods designed to move us beyond creative ruts and into fresh terrain. \nYou might walk away with the beginnings of something new—a character\, a scene\, an idea—but the real goal is to give you an experience of writing that feels alive and personally meaningful. This is a space to write without pressure\, to get curious\, and to let your creative instincts lead the way \nWhat to Bring:\n– A notebook and pen (I strongly encourage this over a laptop\, but of course bring whatever tools meet your needs)\n– Things to make your seated area more comfortable\, like a pillow or a blanket\n– a coin\, a 6-sided dice\, and a tarot deck (only if you have them––we’ll have extras)\n– A favourite fairytale– no need for a physical copy\, just have one in mind! \nArianna Reiche is the author of Warden / Star (Tangerine Press) and At The End Of Every Day (Atria Books/Simon & Schuster)\, and has been praised by The New York Times for her ‘enormous gifts’. She was Founding Editor of The Wrong Quarterly\, and her short fiction has appeared in Ambit Magazine\, Joyland\, The Mechanics’ Institute Review\, Berlin’s SAND Journal\, Feels Blind Literary\, Lighthouse Press\, and Popshot. She’s written features for ArtNews\, New Scientist\, The London Fashion Week Daily\, Fest Magazine\, Vogue International\, and Vice. She teaches on City University’s creative writing MFA programme\, where she also carries out doctoral research on interactive narratives and metafiction\, with a focus on multimodal\, non-linear storytelling.

SUMMARY:Mountains Have Rules For A Reason
DESCRIPTION:A brand new horror play set to make it’s debute in London and Edinburgh\, which explored the dark fables from within the Appalachian mountains and applies them to a brand new story. \nThe Appalachian Mountains have rules for a reason\, but what happens when those rules are broken? \nWhen Christina’s grandfather retired he moved to the mountains in search of monsters\, now he has passed he’s left her a cabin in the woods to clear up\, a series of scribbled journals and a set of oddly specific rules. When friendships are questioned\, rules are broken and fable becomes all the more real and horrifying in this brand new horror play.

SUMMARY:The Long Play Sessions: Dan Jennings with Paul Weller Dancing Through the Fire
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an intimate and expansive evening with award‑winning broadcaster and journalist Dan Jennings\, as he discusses DANCING THROUGH THE FIRE: The Authorised Oral History of Paul Weller\, the first fully authorised and definitive oral account of one of Britain’s most influential and enduring musical figures. \nThis event forms part of The Long Play Sessions\, ICMP’s curated series celebrating transformative writers\, artists and cultural voices who shape how we understand music\, identity and creative expression. Each session opens a window into the stories behind the art — blending conversation\, cultural history and lived experience. \nHosting the evening will be acclaimed author Daniel Rachel and joining as a guest will be Go! Discs founder Andy Macdonald. \nIn DANCING THROUGH THE FIRE\, Jennings traces the extraordinary creative life of Paul Weller\, from the explosive urgency of The Jam\, through the ambitious sophistication of The Style Council\, to a prolific and uncompromising solo career spanning more than three decades. Built from over 200 hours of interviews with more than 250 contributors\, including Weller himself; the book offers an unprecedented\, collective portrait of a musician whose influence has defined generations. \nDrawing on unique access to Weller’s inner circle of family\, friends\, bandmates\, producers and collaborators\, Jennings reveals the drive\, discipline and restless creativity behind a career that continually resisted nostalgia and commercial complacency. The result is candid\, generous and richly revealing — capturing not just the myth\, but the man at the centre of one of British music’s most remarkable artistic journeys. \nFar more than a standard biography\, DANCING THROUGH THE FIRE explores the realities of longevity\, reinvention and creative survival. It reflects on class\, culture\, fandom and the personal cost of sustaining artistic integrity in the public eye\, while charting how Weller became one of the very few artists to achieve Number One albums across five consecutive decades. \nPaul Weller’s story — creative\, uncompromising and continually evolving\, speaks to anyone who cares about music as a cultural force. It asks what it takes to remain vital\, curious and true to yourself when the world expects you to stand still. \nAlready hailed by critics as a landmark work of music journalism\, DANCING THROUGH THE FIRE is being recognised as the definitive account of one of Britain’s greatest artists. \nTickets available here and currently on a limited 2-4-1 offer – https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-long-play-sessions-dan-jennings-paul-weller-dancing-through-the-fire-tickets-1987599404323?aff=oddtdtcreator \nWhat to Expect\n\nA talk from Dan Jennings exploring the making of DANCING THROUGH THE FIRE\, the interview process\, and the challenge of capturing a living legend through many voices\nIn‑depth discussion of creativity\, longevity\, reinvention and artistic integrity across five decades of British music\nBehind‑the‑scenes insight into Jennings’ unprecedented access to Paul Weller and his closest collaborators\nReflections on class\, fandom\, cultural legacy and why Weller’s music continues to resonate across generations\nAudience Q&A\, offering the chance to engage directly with Jennings about his research\, the writing process and Paul Weller’s cultural impact\nBook signing — bring your copy or purchase one on the night\n\nWe look forward to welcoming you to The Long Play Sessions for a thoughtful\, energising and unforgettable evening celebrating one of modern music’s most vital and uncompromising creative figures. \n\n\n\nLocation\nThe Venue\, ICMP (Queens Park Campus)\, NW6 6PA

SUMMARY:Guest House: Unwriting the Artist’s Statement Online Workshop with Elle Reynolds
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a focused\, playful session of conversation\, making\, and discovering your own voice. This workshop creates space to build confidence\, loosen habits around language\, and allow your voice to develop naturally\, staying close to your practice rather than separate from it. \nUnwriting the Artist’s Statement 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\, this 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. \nThis is a supportive space for play\, experimentation\, and discovery. No previous experience or prepared text is needed.  \nThe workshop is hosted by IMT Gallery and led by artist Elle Reynolds\, whose practice works through collaborative processes\, storytelling\, and material experimentation. Her work explores making as a way of thinking together\, with a particular interest in shared authorship\, provisional forms\, and the social life of materials. \nOver the two hours\, you will: \n\nDevelop new ways of talking about your work that feel personal and less rehearsed\nLoosen habits around formal or institutional language\nBuild confidence in speaking and writing about your practice\nGenerate material you can continue to develop after the session\nConnect with others navigating similar questions around language and practice.\n\nAbout Elle Reynolds: \nArtist/scholarresearcherquiet disrupter\, Elle Reynolds has a background in organising practice. She continually challenges traditional institutional structures\, reimagining the use of time and space. Her art making under the pseudonym Guest-Host-Guest includes object installation\, collaborative events\, performative storytelling and interventions that unsettle the notion of archive through spatial exploration\, participation\, and the disruption of academic language. She holds a PhD investigating alternative art school spaces and serves as a Non-Executive Director and Board member of TOMA (The Other MA)\, an alternative art school in Southend-on-Sea\, Essex. Recent projects include workshops for New Contemporaries and Creative Break Time. She is currently Programme Leader of the Graduate Diploma in Art at Goldsmiths. \nThis workshop is open to all: 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 to keep the session conversational and supportive—book early to secure your place. \nEarly Bird Rates are available until 29 March at 11:59pm GMT \n_\nImage: ‘Morass’ Mapping by Elle Reynolds

SUMMARY:The Long Play Sessions: Paul Sexton with Rock Goes to College (Special performance from Freya Everest)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special evening with Paul Sexton\, acclaimed music journalist\, author and broadcaster\, as he explores his latest book Rock Goes to College — the definitive\, untold story of the UK university gig circuit that launched a generation of legendary artists. With an opening performance by talented singer-songwriter Freya Everest\, this one is not to be missed!  \nIn Rock Goes to College\, Sexton traces the rise of Britain’s student gig circuit during the late 1960s and 1970s. This grassroots touring network became a proving ground for emerging artists during the explosion of rock music and the album era. As new universities and polytechnics opened across the UK\, bands criss-crossed the country in battered vans\, playing student unions\, honing their sound and chasing the dream of a record deal. \nDrawing on extensive original interviews and his unrivalled access to artists and industry figures\, Sexton tells remarkable early-career stories of acts including Pink Floyd\, Led Zeppelin\, The Who\, Queen\, Elton John\, Fleetwood Mac\, Genesis\, Nick Drake\, AC/DC and Dire Straits — as well as the student promoters and social secretaries who booked them\, many of whom would go on to shape the modern music industry themselves. The book also reveals how Paul McCartney and Wings returned to this circuit post-Beatles to road-test a new band from the ground up. \nPart music history\, part social history\, Rock Goes to College captures a vital moment when higher education\, youth culture and live music collided — shaping careers\, communities and the future of British rock. \nWhat to expect\n\nAn in-depth conversation with Paul Sexton on the stories and research behind Rock Goes to College\nInsight into the UK’s university gig circuit and its role in developing iconic artists\nDiscussion on music journalism\, biography and documenting cultural history\nAudience Q&A\nA live and intimate acoustic performance from Freya Everest\nBook signing opportunity — bring your copy or purchase one on the night\n\nWe look forward to welcoming you to The Long Play Sessions for an entertaining\, insightful and nostalgia-rich evening uncovering one of the most influential — and least documented — chapters in British music history. \nAbout The Long Play Sessions\nThis event forms part of The Long Play Sessions\, a curated series hosted by ICMP Music School\, celebrating influential writers whose work has shaped how we understand music\, culture and creative history.

SUMMARY:The Long Play Sessions: Zakia Sewell – Finding Albion – Myth\, Folklore and the Quest for a Hidden Britain
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Friday 5th June at 7:00 pm at ICMP’s Queen’s Park venue for a special in‑conversation event with award‑winning writer\, DJ and broadcaster Zakia Sewell\, as she discusses her brand‑new book: \nFINDING ALBION – Myth\, Folklore and the Quest for a Hidden Britain \nIn this intimate interview\, Zakia will discuss her quest for ‘another Britain’. How she traversed the length and breadth of our island from Somerset to Scotland\, seeking out a different story – one that lies beyond divisive national myths and symbols. \nIn Finding Albion\, Zakia uncovers an alternative spirit of Britain that is vividly alive today. It is found in otherworldly folk songs\, ancient legends\, Celtic seasonal rites and mystic stone circles that punctuate our landscape. Her journey begins as the sun rises on the spring equinox over Glastonbury Tor\, where she meets neopagans reclaiming traditions from our pre-Christian past. At summer’s peak at Notting Hill Carnival\, she hears cultural echoes that passed along the slave trade routes from the Caribbean. On All Hallows’ Eve\, she encounters the ghosts of Empire that are still haunting the nation\, and in the depths of a Cornish winter\, she asks if today’s new folk revival could unite our increasingly divided country? \nFinding Albion brings a hopeful story of Britain out from the shadows\, giving us a deeper sense of who we are and heralding the promise of a brighter future. \nTickets available here – https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-long-play-sessions-zakia-sewell-finding-albion-tickets-1988473699363?aff=oddtdtcreator \nABOUT THE AUTHOR \nZakia Sewell is a writer\, DJ and broadcaster based in London.
