SUMMARY:LIFT Festival: Faustin Linyekula
DESCRIPTION:The Place presents: In Search of Dinozord (UK Premiere). \nScored with fragments of Mozart’s requiem\, metronomic taps on a typewriter and live vocals by South African Hlengiwe Lushaba\, Linyekula’s piece is a poetic\, political fairy tale. \nDancers and actors move through a landscape of ruins in the post-apocalyptic Congo as they search for forgotten dreams. With elegant\, haunting and highly political energy they delve into the wrenching history of the Congo\, recounting legends from their childhoods and mourning the loss of a friend as they attempt to create a myth that truly reflects their lives. \nAbout the artist\nFaustin Linyekula is an artist with a ‘live-wire intensity’ (The New York Times). His riveting work often addresses themes of memory\, forgetting\, and dreams. With his country’s history as a catalyst\, he considers the impact that decades of war\, trauma\, and economic uncertainty have on people’s lives. \nTime: 8pm on the 15th and 16th June

SUMMARY:Noh + Neuroscience - Glimpsing the Invisible
DESCRIPTION:As part of Noh Reimagined two leading neuroscientists\, Professor Semir Zeki and Professor Atsushi Iriki\, will examine curious connections between the 650-year-old tradition of Noh and the mechanisms of our brain. \n‘Since so much in Noh performance is left to the imagination\, which is a mental activity produced by the brain\, I have decided to supplement what is on stage with lighting that will produce a visible\, sensory counterpart – coloured shadows – which is also produced by the brain.’ \nProfessor Semir Zeki\, a pioneer of neuroesthetics will speak about the objectivity of subjective state and will illustrate this using the coloured shadow illusions in collaboration with Noh performers. \nProfessor Atsushi Iriki will examine evidence-based speculations in light of his recent research on how we acquired the concept of the ‘meta-self’ (a third-person sense of our own existence) in relation to Riken-no-ken (a form of self-analysis used by Noh performers) and how we visualise illusions as realistic entities in Noh performances. \nBook your tickets here. \nAbout Noh Reimagined 2018: The Sublime illusions.  \nFollowing the highly successful 2016 edition\, Noh Reimagined is returning to Kings Place with an exciting new theme and line-up. The two-day festival explores the art of Noh\, the iconic theatrical tradition that originated in fourteenth-century Japan. This edition will shed light on the unique dramaturgy of Mugen (‘phantasmal’) Noh\, in which the main actor (shite) appears as a ghost in the dream of a travelling monk performed by the supporting actor (waki). The ghost then tells the tragic story of its past life\, expressing deep regret and lamentations\, hoping to find peace. \nTop Noh performers from Japan will work with innovative British artists and neuroscientists in genre-defying collaborations to examine the surreal artistic elements of Noh. Join us to explore time\, space and symbolism in Noh theatre through interdisciplinary performances\, workshops and talks. \nNoh Reimagined 2018 will connect the sublime illusions and transformative power of Noh’s 650-year-old tradition with the creative energy of contemporary arts and culture\, posing new questions about who we are. \nMore information can be found here including multi buy ticket offers.

SUMMARY:500 years of medicine. Today: Are teenagers really irrational?
DESCRIPTION:On the face of it\, teenagers can seem as though they behave irrationally and impulsively\, taking excessive risks. Yet neuroscience reveals that something much more complex may be going on.  Join Professor Sarah-Jayne Blakemore of UCL as she explains her research into the development of the adolescent brain in humans. \nOver the last twenty years neuroscience research has shown that the human brain develops both structurally and in the way it works during adolescence. Areas of the social brain undergo significant reorganization during this crucial second decade. These major changes may in turn reflect a particularly sensitive period for adapting to the social environment.  \nWhilst adolescence brings risks and vulnerabilities (particularly to mental ill health)\, it is also a crucial period of opportunities\, as the social brain reorganises itself in preparation for adulthood. \nThese major findings from the work of cognitive neuroscience have wide-ranging implications for how we structure public health and education to best meet the needs of today’s teenagers and tomorrow’s adults.  \nOf equal interest to parents and teenagers\, teachers\, medical professionals and anyone with a stake in the future\, this event is open to everyone. \nThe Royal College of Physicians presents this fascinating free lecture as part of a season marking its 500th anniversary\, reflecting on the history and future of medicine\, society and health. \nSarah-Jayne Blakemore is Professor in Cognitive Neuroscience at UCL. She is Leader of the Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience Group and Deputy Director of the UCL Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience.  \nProfessor Blakemore is actively involved in public engagement with science activities and has an interest in the links between neuroscience and education. She also worked with Company Three on their play\, Brainstorm\, written and performed by teenagers\, which was shown at the National Theatre in London. \nProgramme \n6pm – Arrival refreshments (tea and coffee) \n6.30pm –  Lecture starts \n7.30pm –  Lecture finishes \n Tickets can be reserved here

SUMMARY:Refresh\, Reboot\, Retool: new imaginaries for challenging times
DESCRIPTION:The Culture Capital Exchange is delighted to announce its summer symposium: Refresh\, Reboot\, Retool: new imaginaries for challenging times. \nAt a point where our futures feel arguably increasingly uncertain and volatile\, and where atmospheres of anxiety are pervasive\, Refresh\, Reboot\, Retool: new imaginaries for challenging times provides a space to take time to talk\, take stock and reflect on how we might imagine and indeed create conditions for positive change. With plenary sessions\, panel discussions\, workshops and a walk\, this event sets out to act as a space where questions on the creative possibilities as well as the civic duties and responsibilities of institutions and organisations can be mooted. \nFurthermore it invites us to consider how we might sensitise ourselves to the needs of seemingly diffuse and disparate\, yet intensely related issues and concerns\, such as identity and environment? How might we do this better and what is that we need in order to do so? Knowledge\, imagination\, generosity\, tenacity\, new ways of working/seeing or hearing\, abilities to affect or mobilise change\, abilities to reset\, withdraw and reboot? Such are the questions that will be attempted. We cordially invite you to join us but we can only guarantee that we will leave with more questions than we start with. \nAfter the symposium\, delegates are invited to stay  for the launch of TCCE’s new report Revealing Collaborative Values that documented our recently completed project\, National Academics and Creatives Exchange (The Exchange)\, funded by ACE and HEFCE between 2015 – 2017. \nThe symposium agenda will be announced in mid-June.

SUMMARY:Archaeology of Fashion Film
DESCRIPTION:ONE-DAY CONFERENCE HOSTED AT CENTRAL SAINT MARTINS \nHow did early 20th century cinema present and represent fashion\, and how does this historical material relate to contemporary fashion film? This one-day conference investigates new methods\, topics and themes at the interface of three fields: media archaeology\, fashion history\, and film studies. The conference looks at two parallel moments of fashion and film in the early 20th and 21st centuries\, when the emergence and intensification of new technologies of the image began to impact the culture and commerce of fashion. It aims to bring early cinema into conversation with current forms of digital aesthetics and to investigate its various materials\, screens and genres\, as well as the means of their production\, circulation and consumption\, that may inspire new ways to understand fashion film. \nPROGRAMME \nFeaturing speakers from a range of disciplines spanning film\, fashion and media studies\, the conference includes a screening of rare early fashion film curated by Lucy Moyse Ferreira and a creative industry panel discussion chaired by Marketa Uhlirova\, director of the Fashion in Film Festival. The closing plenary session pulls together the various strands of the day. \nSPEAKERS \nProfessor Wanda Strauven (keynote speaker) \nGoethe University Frankfurt\nText\, Texture\, Textile: A Media-Archaeological Mapping of Fashion and Film \nBeatrice Behlen\nMuseum of London\nFloating chiffon and misty tulle: the Materiality of Fashion in Motion \nNick Rees-Roberts\nUniversity of Paris – Sorbonne Nouvelle\nBetween Promotion and Criticality: The Paradox of Contemporary Fashion Film \nPLENARY SESSION\nChris Breward (chair)\nNational Galleries of Scotland \nCaroline Evans\nCentral Saint Martins\, University of the Arts London \nLucy Moyse Ferreira\nCentral Saint Martins\, University of the Arts London \nJussi Parikka \nWinchester School of Art\, Southampton University \nMarketa Uhlirova\nCentral Saint Martins\, University of the Arts London \nRSVP here.

SUMMARY:Echoes of Holloway Prison at the Islington Museum
DESCRIPTION:Holloway Prison has been an important landmark in Islington for over 150 years. Thousands of women passed through its doors until it closed in 2016. This exhibition explores their stories. \nWell-known prisoners have been held at the prison\, but there are many voices which remain unknown and unrecorded. This exhibition at Islington Museum explores stories of this highly significant place. \nHighlights of the exhibition include a prison door from the original Holloway ‘Castle’\, when it was a ‘terror to evil doers’\, a suffragette hunger-strike medal\, a prison bed from the modern prison and a banner made by Sisters Uncut who occupied part of the prison following its closure. \nThe exhibition also explores what may happen next on the site –and asks visitors to think what kind of legacy there should be to follow a place with such depth of history. \nAbout the project  \nThis project\, run by Islington Heritage\, in collaboration with Holloway Prison Stories and Middlesex University\, seeks to capture stories of this highly significant place meaning that\, even when it has gone\, the voices and echoes of Holloway Prison will remain. \nCheck out their comprehensive events schedule as part of the project here. \nOpen Monday – Saturday 10am-5pm (closed Wednesday and Sunday)

SUMMARY:Women and Children Firsts - Guided Walk
DESCRIPTION:In Victorian Britain\, a women’s place was considered to be in the home and children were treated as “expendable”. On this walk through some of Bloomsbury’s Squares\, we hear about the first hospital specifically for children; a hospital founded thanks to the efforts of two sisters seeking care for their grandmother who had suffered a stroke and meet some the women pioneers of medicine and science. \nThe walk starts at Russell Square Station and will end in Torrington Square\, a short distance from Russell Square Underground station. It will take between 1.5 and 2 hrs. \nThis free to attend guided walk is part of Camden’s annual arts programme Camden Vox. \nThis walk is organised by the Camden Tour Guides Association – one of the Knowledge Quarter’s Partners. They research\, develop and conduct walking tours and lectures on all things Camden!  They can provide bespoke walks for Knowledge Quarter partners – ideal for team events\,  new joiners\, or to enable existing staff to know more about the history\, stories and culture of the area.  They also offer training on how to become a tour guide – with a new course (based at the Crick Living Centre) starting in September.
