Cambridge Junction's Zine Issue #4 Autumn 2014 Free Cambridge Junction’s zine issue #4 autumn 2014 free Welcome Welcome to Autumn at Cambridge Junction. In Adjunct you’ll find a listing of our arts programme and contributions by and about artists. Adjunct gives a flavour of what’s on in the arts but also draws in ideas from across our music, comedy, family and creative learning programmes. To find out more about all of our work check us out online at junction.co.uk or come into the box office and chat to our staff. One reason I enjoy participating in and watching the arts is because artists continually help me see the world through fresh eyes. This season is no exception and we have three strands – ‘collecting Cambridge’, ‘classics retold’ and ‘around the world’ – which weave their ways through our season and provide alternative views on our city, our lives and the world. We are presenting two works – Museum of Water and Things of Cambridge: A Pub Quiz – as part of Curating Cambridge an initiative of the University of Cambridge Museums and the Festival of Ideas. Both of these projects are presented in city sites and encourage Cambridge residents to take part and think about our relationship to the city. From the local to the global we take a world view with projects including Women of the World, and Going Nowhere which both consider how we can share ideas about the world through collaboration and dialogue. In Adjunct, Dani Kolanis’ The Twelve Labours of Hercules provides the classic myth with a cheeky reworking and a modern twist. Reinterpretation and reinvention are at the heart of a number of performances this season including Don Quijote, Blind Hamlet, and This Last Tempest. We had such fantastic feedback from audiences about NIE’s Hansel and Gretel (our Christmas show in 2011) we had to have them back. This year NIE invite you to join them on the greatest adventure ever imagined... Around the World in 80 Days. Based on Jules Verne’s famous novel and combining clowning, live music, storytelling and an international ensemble, Around the World in 80 Days takes you on a high speed, mad-cap, transcontinental, race against the clock and just 80 days to get back in time for Christmas!

  • 4.5 DANCES with AGITATORS What Is ‘Anarchist Music’?
    4.5 DANCES WITH AGITATORS What Is ‘Anarchist Music’? Jim Donaghey Introduction Robin Ballinger argues that ‘[m]usic is neither transcendental nor trivial, but inhibits a site where hegemonic processes are contested’ (in Sakolsky and Ho (eds.), 1995: 14) – in other words, music matters. However, music (and culture more widely) is often viewed as being of minor importance within social movements, as something coincidental rather than fun- damental. Consideration of anarchism and music contributes to an understanding of the complex relationships between culture and radical politics more widely, while challenging those narrow conceptions of radicalism that fail to take cultural aspects into account. This chapter points to the core role of culture (and music) in social movements, and the rec- ognition of this importance across a wide spectrum of anarchist perspectives. The chapter then considers evaluations of ‘anarchist music’, identifying the aspects which are too easily recuperated by the State and capital (such as aesthetics and lyrics), and highlighting those aspects which contain radical transformative potential (such as Do-It-Yourself or DIY produc- tion processes – though this is necessarily marginal in character and scope). A transforma- tion is not a fixed entity; it only operates in relation to an a priori situation. Evaluation of ‘anarchist music’ in terms of transformation is therefore alive to shifting contexts, and does not impose a particular set of criteria – yet, it still usefully problematises any claim of a particular music as being ‘anarchist’. However, no form of music (in terms of its aesthetic or production process) is entirely immune to co-optation, and it is argued here that music’s radical transformative potential is most fully realised, and most resilient, when engaged within a culture of resistance.

  • Brotherton Collection MS 20C Theatre West Yorkshire Playhouse
    Handlist 123 LEEDS UNIVERSITY LIBRARY Brotherton Collection MS 20c Theatre West Yorkshire Playhouse FROM THE LEEDS PLAYHOUSE TO THE WEST YORKSHIRE PLAYHOUSE STAGE I In the 1960s, Leeds was the largest City in the country without a regional theatre - a professional producing management presenting plays in its own theatre. A small but enthusiastic group of local people had started a campaign in 1964 for a permanent Repertory Theatre (the full story of the campaign is told in Doreen Newlyn's book "Theatre Connections"). Planning permission had been obtained for a site near the Town Hall but spending cuts led to the postponement of the original plan and in 1969, the Leeds Theatre Trust Ltd (incorporated in 1968) decided to search for existing premises which could be transformed into a temporary theatre. After many disappointments, the University of Leeds agreed to lend the Trust, rent-free, the site of a proposed sports hall which cutbacks had forced them to postpone building. The conditions were that the Trust would build the shell and put the Theatre in it in such a way that it could all be removed at the end of a ten year period, whereupon the University would convert the building into a sports hall. The Theatre, designed by Bill Houghton Evans, was built for £150,000 and after six years of persistence, finally opened on Thursday 16th September 1970 with the world premiere of Alan Plater's "Simon Says". Throughout the campaign, there was tremendous support from members of the acting profession including Peter O'Toole, Dame Diana Rigg, Michael Hordern, Rodney Bewes, Dame Sybil Thorndike, Dame Judi Dench and James Mason.
