SUMMARY:PONYBOY by Eliot Duncan – book launch
DESCRIPTION:PONYBOY by Eliot Duncan – book launch\n⛓️⛓️ Join Footnote Press and Ugly Duck on the 1st of June for a night of ‘melancholic transboy swagger’ to celebrate the launch of Eliot Duncan’s ‘astonishing’ debut novel ponyboy\, a week ahead of its release ⛓️⛓️ \nA bildungsroman set over three acts\, Ponyboy is a quest for self-identity set among the art world of Paris and Berlin. In the first act\, Ponyboy’s eponymous narrator-a pill-popping\, speed-snorting trans-masculine lightning bolt-unravels in his Paris apartment. Ponyboy is caught in a messy love triangle with Baby\, a lesbian painter who can’t see herself being with someone trans\, and Toni\, a childhood friend who can actually see Ponyboy for who he is. Strung out\, Ponyboy follows Baby to Berlin in act two\, where he sinks deeper into drugs and falls for a fellow writer\, all the while pursued by a megalomaniacal photographer hungry for the next hot thing. \nAs Ponyboy’s relationships crumble\, he overdoses and finds himself alone in his childhood home in Iowa. The novel’s final act follows Ponyboy to rehab\, exploring the ways in which trans identity\, addiction and recovery can reforge the bond between mother and child. \n \nEliot Duncan is a writer and artist living in London. He is the co-creator of the international\, queer collective Slanted House. He studied philosophy at the American University of Paris and is a graduate of the Iowa Writers’ Workshop.  \nLine-up  \nReadings from: \nKole Fulmine \nKatayoun Jalilipour \nEliot Duncan \nQ&A with D Mortimer \nOriginal film by Sweatmother \nBooks will be available to purchase on the night or you can pre-order a copy with your ticket.

SUMMARY:A Brief Pause
DESCRIPTION:A Brief Pause\nItch The Scratch collective and current Central second-year BA Performance Arts students invite you to join us as we soften the boundaries\, doors and walls. \nbetween you and me \nbetween us and them \nbetween these and those \nbetween some and others \nA Brief Pause is a day-long festival\, celebrating joy and togetherness. Through performances\, music and workshops we will create an entangled space. A shared response-ability that will help us alter (and inspire) each other as hosts and guests. \nSo\, the offering of a cushion\, a poem\, or the touch of a blanket will carefully unravel an ongoing dialogue of change and mutual adaptation. \nLet’s rehearse radical hospitality in our hub\, designed to stimulate the seeding of connections\, companionship and kinship. Or share solace\, joy and pleasure as one multifaceted being through workshops that help us embody ourselves/our-selves/our selves. And let’s expand\, contort and feed our curiosities through a selection of performances\, talks and screenings. \n\n\nLINE UP\nBlood is my Voice / Workshop\nOpen Mic\nShar / Installation\nFreddie Wulf / Performance\nGisou Golshani / Performance\nSERAFINE1369 / Screening\nCris Lyra / Screening\nSeason Butler / Artist talk over Zoom\nVerity Spot / Poetry Reading\nAkıs Ka / Performance\nQ-BRA /DJ

SUMMARY:Camp Trans presents: INTRA (depend on me bby)
DESCRIPTION:Camp Trans presents: \nINTRA (depend on me bby) is an exhibition and weekend events programme showcasing the work of trans artists who explore the central theme of intradependence. Intradependence is a tactic of love\, existence\, resistance and survival – it is an anarchic reliance on one other and our community\, but also the sites we inhabit\, the spaces we build for each and the natural land we commune with. \nINTRA (depend on me bby) is a slice of what to expect at this year’s Camp Trans programme\, which daydreams about the magical summer nights of our festival to come\, a time when we hope to heal with one another by being together in nature. Tickets sales will be used to raise money for concession tickets. SOAK IT UP Xx \nThe two-day event will host visual art installations\, poetry readings\, live-art performances\, trans-led life drawing\, a panel with trans activists\, anarchist clothes and books swaps and a vegan BBQ. \nPart of the exhibition shows archival material of the original Camp Trans protests from 1992- onwards\, and audio recordings of interviews with the original attendees and organisers. Our collection includes poems and schedules from the original camp\, zines\, comics by Alison Bechdale\, and excerpts from TransSisters: the Journal of Transsexual Feminism. \nHighlights\nArrive early on Saturday to enjoy the exhibition and film loop showing Soft Boys by Kiara Mohamed Amin\, Tugs by Kane Stonestreet & Lori Lo Bianco\, Stigmata by P.O.T. and SweatMother\, and The Marking of a New Moon by Puer Deorum. \nBrowse the lending library including publications by Léann Herlihy\, and Tatenda Shamiso.

See Streams’ narrative-based movement and sound performance that ritualises moments of communion and times of separation. Listen to poetry readings curated by TISSUE at 7 pm followed by a music performance by Jordan/Martin Hell. Stay and chat with your friends and lovers till the evening ends. \n  \nCome by Sunday to continue exploring the lending library\, clothing swap\, and exhibition. \nWatch or fight in the mud wrestling in the sun. \nGet your vegan BBQ lunch before heading in to listen to a panel discussion on art’s place in anarchy and anarchy’s place in art with Jordan/Martin Hell and Mother Mandragora\, Salacious in Purple of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. \nWe finish with a Filmscreening of Lou Lou Sainsbury’s performance video pollen spools out\, words scatter through a waiting room window and (Tending) (to) (Ta) by April Lin 林森. \nThe full program will be available on 25th May. \nSchedule\nSaturday 17th June \nAll day        Clothing swap\, lending library\, zines/publication selling\, vegan BBQ \n12 pm          Exhibition opens \n1 pm            Quilt making with Maria Mautino \n2 pm           Life drawing with Rosa Marouane \n5 pm           Streams – Narrative-based movement and sound performance \n7 pm           TISSUE – Poetry readings \n8 pm           Jordan/Martin Hell –  Music Performance \nSunday 18th June \nAll day        Clothing swap\, lending library\, zines/publication selling\, vegan BBQ \n1 pm           Mud wrestling \n3 pm           Panel Discussion with Jordan/Martin Hell and Mother Mandragora\, Salacious in Purple of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence \n5 pm           Filmscreening of Lou Lou Sainsbury’s pollen spools out\, words scatter through a waiting room window and (Tending) (to) (Ta) by April Lin 林森. \nAccessibility\nUgly Duck’s ground floors HUB and GARAGE are both fully accessible.

Inspired by archival documentation of the original Camp Trans – an annual protest camp organised by Riki Wilchins and Leslie Feinberg outside the trans-exclusionary Michigan Womyn’s Music Festival – our camping festival is devoted to platforming trans artistry through an anarchist DIY approach to programming and funding. Hosted in a queer-owned field in Leighton Buzzard\, with access to hillsides\, forest and a swimming lake – Camp Trans firmly believes in the liberating power and joy that grows from communing in nature as a radical t4t collective. \nThe festival will consist of poetry readings\, art performances\, workshops\, foraging\, bonfires\, slime wrestling\, karaoke and swimming in a lake. The festival is run and staffed by trans people. Camp Trans is a community grassroots project\, to exchange skills and crafts\, knowledge and info. A space to facilitate and show work by trans artists. We want to create somewhere where there is time to process and try out new ideas. \nThis year\, we have invited Joni McLaughlin AKA Biogal to guest curate the artists. We plan to have a guest curator each year from now on. \nTISSUE\nTISSUE is a reading night dedicated to showcasing both established and emerging trans* and non-binary writers. It foregrounds literary work being produced by trans writers and artists\, seeking to explore and understand what it means to be trans in a way that moves beyond the strict expectations of memoir\, identity politics\, and trauma porn. \n\nLondon EventsUgly DuckMusicArtPerformanceShowcaseCommunityPoetryDiscussionWrestlingFilm\n\n\n\nThe Lineup\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nApril Lin 林森 / Biogal  / Elliot Lind / Gabriel Kidd  / Jesse Glazzard  / Jordan/Martin Hell / Joseph Vince Thomas / Josiah Moktar / Kane Stonestreet & Lori Lo Bianco / Katayoun Jalilipour / Kiara Mohamed Amin / Lou Lou Sainsbury / Magda Onatra  / Marlo D Mortimer / Maria Mautino / Mariette Pathy Allen / Mort Drew / Morgan Page / Mother Mandragora\, Salacious in Purple of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence / Puer Deorum / Riki Wilchins / Rosa Marouane / Streams (Matisse Pagès\, Nat Li Lin Steinhouse & Yuki Nakayama) / Susy Langsdale / SweatMother / TISSUE

SUMMARY:RƎWIRE by BJ MCNEILL
DESCRIPTION:RƎWIRE is a live work that started with dance and looks at the cross sections of disidentification through interdisciplinary theatrical practice and a queer lens. \nUsing a rhizomatic approach RƎWIRE explores traditionalisms\, while perforating and reframing them by placing them in conversation with something new\, different or other. \nDrawing from Hip Hop and alternative sonic landscapes RƎWIRE explores sampling – sonically and performatively\, and looks at hip hop and queerness through rap\, movement and object play and repurposing. \nRƎWIRE explores resistance and masculinity and the body as a site of labour alongside public & private space & sex.  \nContent Warning: This show deals with aspects of homophobia with language that may be upsetting to some audiences\, the show has themes of sex\, blood and violence and references drug use.  \n  \nAudience note: This is a standing performance. To support accessibility there will be a number of seats around the space. You are free to use them but please give up your seat if you think someone may be in more need and please leave some seats free for those who may require them and not have visible disabilities. .  \nCreatives  \nPhotography & Digital Design: Yucel Gulec \nPerformed by: Bj McNeill & Ted Rogers & Fernando Solis \nSound: Fernando Solis \nChoreography: Bj McNeill \nMovement Direction: Ted Rogers \nAssistant Producer: Amy Sze\nSet & Production Design: Anna Niamh Gorman\, Alex Clow & Bj McNeill \nTechnical Assistant: Luca Cippollone  \nBJ MCNEILL is a performer & creator based in London\, their work encompasses dance\, acting\, devising methods & drag and operates in and around theatre\, nightlife and cabaret.
