A revival of the creative and political labour of the actress, activist and ultimate theatre- maker Franca Rame. Supervisors Dr Tom Cornford and Dr Diana Damian Martin Profile I am a PhD Candidate at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, a visiting lecturer, a theatre director and jazz musician. My research focuses around the theatre work of Italian theatre practitioner Franca Rame, that I have known personally and who has influenced my work as a practitioner because of her revolutionary theatre and activist practice. My project aims to be a practical and theoretical feminist intervention on her work through the lens of intersectional critical thinking, in particular contemporary feminism and social reproduction theory. I am also interested in the way Rame and her partner Dario Fo used live music in their theatre and how they applied improvisation techniques in their theatre making. I have a BA (hons) in Foreign Languages and Literature (University of Cagliari), and an MA (Distinction) in Theatre Directing and Theatre Arts from Goldsmiths College, University of London. Since 2003 I have been working as a visiting lecturer and freelance director in UK universities such as the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, East15 Acting School, University of Essex, Kingston University, Bucks New University, and UCL. In my work as an educator and facilitator, I teach variously on theatre directing, acting, devising and physical theatre, improvisation techniques, voice, and contextual studies.

    Special Feature: Asaf Sirkis And The Road To Shepherd's Stories (2013/04/08) Rainlore on premier drummer/percussionist Asaf Sirkis, his music, and his Asaf Sirkis Trio's latest album, Shepherd's Stories. Edited 2013/04/08 My first encounter with Asaf Sirkis happened, as it The 1990s then already saw Sirkis in great demand, and were, quite unconsciously, about 1993, in the form of getting the kind of press that could be the envy of many, an album by Israeli luminary and 'father' of Israeli free especially at such an early age. He was already jazz (some would say, free improvisation) Harold critically acclaimed as Israel's greatest drummer and Rubin, Trialog, which featured a young Asaf Sirkis on percussionist who ought not be confined to Israel alone drums and Kobi Shefi on bass guitar in addition to but deserving of much wider international recognition. Rubin himself on clarinet. Naturally enough, for a drummer and percussionist of his caliber, Israel eventually proved too small and Sirkis impressed me greatly back then, but, always Europe or America beckoned. having had a bad memory for names, the name Asaf Sirkis somehow soon faded from my memory. The first 1998 finally saw Sirkis leaving for first The class drumming, as well as the album, did not though, Netherlands and then France, before finally settling in and I was of course delighted to be reunited with it last London in 1999. Sirkis very quickly established himself year. It still stands out and is timeless, and I can only as a part of the UK Jazz and world music scene and recommend you get hold of it.

  • Asaf Sirkis Trio - Shepherd’S Stories | Review | the Jazz Mann
    The Jazz Mann | Asaf Sirkis Trio - Shepherd’s Stories | Review | The Jazz Mann Accessibility Menu Skip To Content Skip To Main Menu Home Reviews Artists Features News Gigs & Events Shop Contact Search: submit REVIEW Shepherd’s Stories Asaf Sirkis Trio Wednesday, July 24, 2013 Reviewed by: Ian Mann 4 out of 5 The new album is intentionally highly melodic with the trio's already remarkably rich sonic palette being expanded by judicious guest appearances. Asaf Sirkis Trio “Shepherd’s Stories” Since settling in London in 1999 Israeli born drummer, percussionist and composer Asaf Sirkis has become one of the most in demand musicians on the UK jazz scene. He first came to prominence as a member of Gilad Atzmon’s Orient House Ensemble before eventually leaving to concentrate on both solo projects and other commitments. Sirkis has toured and recorded with a wide variety of UK based musicians and is currently a member of trios led by pianists John Law and Alex Hutton, guitarist Maciek Pysz and the high profile Lighthouse trio alongside pianist Gwilym Simcock and reeds player Tim Garland. As a leader Sirkis made his bow with The Inner Noise, a trio that explored the sonic possibilities of the church organ within a jazz/rock context, the keyboards being handled by Steve Lodder and with powerful guitarist Mike Outram completing the group. The group’s third (and to date final) album “The Song Within” (2007) represented the zenith of their achievements and is reviewed elsewhere on this site. Since 2008 Sirkis has concentrated on his current trio featuring his compatriot Yaron Stavi on electric bass plus the Greek born guitarist Tassos Spiliotopoulos.
