About this Event

Performances
Throughout the night, 3 of this year's Ones to Watch artists will showcase other areas of their practices with live performances and readings.
Bethany Wilson
GLORB invites you to question our relationship with celebrities and how fandom affects us in day-to-day life. GLORB is the first ever personalised idol they are whatever you want an idol to be, they are perfection incarnate.
(Approx 10 minutes.)
The Futures Past Coalition
The Coalition will be performing a serious piece about power and politics and the idea that tolerance is one of the great paradoxes of our time (reference Philosopher Karl Popper). The work does not directly take political sides – it offers food for thought bringing together Lyndon’s poem and quotations from, for example, George Orwell. It seeks to raise thoughts about division and control.
The audience will be encourated to participate in a call and response manner.
(Approx 20 minutes.)

(Approx 10 minutes.)
