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.

SUMMARY:Breakin’ Convention Presents Pierre Rigal’s Scandale
DESCRIPTION:Scandale. Pierre Rigal’s shamanic piece investigating the birth of choreography: is music or movement the mother of dance? \nSet against a simple backdrop\, the soundtrack ranges between extremes\, from ambient chamber music to electronic sound effects. Simultaneously\, words\, cries and scandalous chants exert energy\, as what begins as disorganised chaos slowly falls into structured choreography and a hip hop spectacle. \nScandale stars dancers Steve ‘Lelong’ Kamseu\, Camille ‘Kami’ Regneault\, Julien ‘Bee D’ Saint-Maximin\, members of b-boy crew Yeah Yellow\, as seen on the Breakin’ Convention 2017 Luxembourg and USA tour\, as well as at Sadler’s Wells Sampled 2018. \nBreakin’ Convention: Presents… is an initiative to programme full-length works at Sadler’s Wells\, providing the finest platform for grassroots hip hop theatre makers\, as well as welcoming the vision of contemporary choreographers working with street dance forms. \nThis is hip hop dance theatre at its most curious.

SUMMARY:Motherhood\, Loss and the First World War
DESCRIPTION:An extraordinary two-day conference on the mothers who lost sons on the battlefields of the First World War\nWhat does it mean to lose a child in wartime? This powerful experience of bereavement has largely been unexplored in the context of World War One. In order to shed light on a much-overlooked theme\, a major collaborative conference will be held at the Institute of Historical Research and Senate House on 5 and 6 September that will bring historians and community groups together to explore maternal bereavement as a result of the war\, an experience that was understood to be particularly painful and difficult to come to terms with. \nThis conference is organised by Big Ideas\, the London Centre for Public History\, and the Institute of Historical Research. It is part of Motherhood\, Loss and the First World War\, an ongoing community commemoration project led by Big Ideas and funded by the Ministry of Housing\, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) and the National Lottery grant from the Big Lottery Fund. Free resources\, project ideas and funding are available to involve community groups across the UK in the project. Contact mothers@big-ideas.org for more information. \n6 September: Motherhood\, Loss and the First World War – Evening Musical Performance \nThe conference culminates in an evocative evening of musical performance and readings exploring the experiences of mothers bereaved during the First World War. This performance acknowledges the universality of bereavement as the defining experience of the conflict\, with a special focus on the impact on mothers – an overlooked aspect of grief from the period.  \nThrough newly-composed pieces by acclaimed violinist and composer Clare Connors\, and powerful readings bringing to life the voices of mothers and their sons and daughters serving in the military\, this performance explores their relationships\, and the experience of a mother losing their child. \nThe performance is free to attend. Click here to reserve your place. \nFor more information on the conference and to book your tickets click here. \nConference Prices:  \nStandard 2 days – £50\nStandard 1 day – £30\nConcession 2 days – £25\nConcession 1 day – £15 \n£5 per day discount for Knowledge Quarter members with code HA2018 \n  \n

SUMMARY:Michael Price – Tender Symmetry
DESCRIPTION:Emmy Award-winning composer Michael Price gives the world premiere of Tender Symmetry\, written in response to and recorded within six differing but equally awe-inspiring National Trust sites across the length and breadth of England. It will be performed by an ensemble of strings\, voices\, keyboards and tape alongside other much loved works from Price’s repertoire. \nThe new work being premiered is Tender Symmetry\, Michael Price’s second album with Erased Tapes which was released on 31 August\, 2018. The ambitious musical project takes in a series of iconic National Trust locations across England as its inspiration\, turning them into unlikely recording spaces. Michael and a host of musicians and collaborators — including soprano Grace Davidson (featured on Max Richter’s Sleep) and Shards (the choir on Nils Frahm’s All Melody) — travelled across the country in pursuit of places far removed from the traditional recording studio to create seven unique and moving pieces\, straddling the past and the future.

SUMMARY:Silicon Quantum Information Processing 2018
DESCRIPTION:Silicon Quantum Information Processing (SiQIP) is highly appealing due to long electron and nuclear spin lifetimes and the expertise of the integrated circuit industry in device scaling. Recent demonstrations of long-lived\, high-fidelity silicon qubits\, multi-qubit gates and spin–photon coupling\, are promising for scalable QIP architectures. Further requirements are robust and scalable fabrication processes\, fast control and data processing\, and schemes to correct errors and protect against decoherence. \nThis meeting will bring together leading researchers from the silicon QIP community who are interested in meeting these challenges. \nTopics of interest include: \n\nSilicon nanodevices and qubit implementations\nQubits and nanodevices based on semiconductor-superconductor hybrids\nCircuit quantum electrodynamics interfaced with spins in semiconductors\nScalable architectures and fabrication processes\nDigital-quantum interfaces for control\, readout and fast data processing of multi-qubit circuits\nImproving immunity to environmental noise

SUMMARY:The Women Question - Camden Tour Guides and Camden Vox
DESCRIPTION:2018 marks the centenary of some women gaining the right to vote in parliamentary elections for the first time. This walk from Goodge Street to Marchmont Street will introduce you to a few of the pioneering women and men who played their parts in advancing this and other causes and who lent their voices to great debates.\n\n\n\nThis free walk is part of the Camden Vox programme and will be led by Camden tour guides Amanda McKerracher and Jo Wilkinson from the Camden Tour Guides Association (a Knowledge Quarter Partner). \nWalk with them and meet\, among others\, a mother and daughter whose remarkable lives gave us two of the most famous pieces of writing of the 18th and 19th centuries\, advocates and activists both for and against women’s suffrage and a woman born into slavery who overcame appalling suffering to live by her own rules. There will be medical trail blazers\, writers\, philanthropists\, an artist\, the first black woman to sit in the Cabinet of the United Kingdom\, not forgetting the one woman who isn’t there. We will delve into these inspiring lives and will also touch upon the significant ideas and debates that were part of the “Woman Question” that has cast its shadow across the years. \nThe walk will start at Goodge Street underground station and will end in Marchmont Street\, near Russell Square Station\, lasting about 1.5 hours. \nBook places here.
