Import/Export Video art screening

As the first afterhours projector to utilise guest presenters, The NO Collective have decided to use the title Import /Export to both analyse relationships of film based work cross locally to nationally, as well as to explore politicised incentives to migration patterns. Import/Export, a film directed by Ulrich Seidl brutally demonstrates issues of migrational employment, physically, socially and emotionally - the film is wrought with flashes of abrupt European realities, which question the film’s ethics of ‘displaying’ the lives of real people. With the afterhours set in the site specific REACT project, The NO Collective aims for the evening’s selection of film to demonstrate a deeper questioning of local, national and European standards of human capital.

Kate Pelling ‘A Short Narrative Distraction’   2011 
A Short Narrative Distraction (2011, 3.17 Mins) is an experimental video resulting from a disastrous visit to Hamburg, Germany in 2011. The trip was a catastrophe from start to finish. On my return, I realised that this frustrating experience contributed to the ideas around selfediting that I had been considering within my larger body of work; the trip had provided me with many stories but I was lost for words

 To create a cut-up flow, like a genetic pattern of ideas, skipping to and fro, back and forth, forming and deforming. We start neat but eventually we end up in a chaos, a simultaneous mixture of collisions and "refrains". The drawing of connections and erasing of connections through video-concrete; what emerges are lines of migration between audio and visual–in and out–as well as phantoms that are enunciated in the act of reading

Local people become ‘Artists in residence’ through new project aimed at bringing art and wellbeing to Havering homes. Over the past week, hundreds of ‘Home Inside-Out’ creativity guides have been hand-delivered to Havering residents to help locals spruce up their homes and explore their local neighborhoods through new ‘post-lockdown’ eyes.   Created by architecture studio WSMS, this guide gives handy tips to create inspired spaces within your home without having to spend any money, and offers fantastic family ideas of how to get out and about to explore your town as an ‘Urban Investigator’.   ‘Home-Inside Out’ is the first of a series of initiatives that local arts Organisation ‘The NO Collective’ will be running throughout the summer called ‘ourNEST‘, a programme highlighting the work of great local artists, and helping residents find inspiration from their homes and towns. “You may have seen a 6ft Bird House’ being erected outside the ASDA queue in The Mercury in Romford” sa...

Review: The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole Aged 13¾

Image
 On Wednesday the 4th of May I had the pleasure of attending The Queens Theatre's production of T he Secret Diary of Adrian Mole Aged 13¾.  I would like to preface this review by saying that as a 22 ¼ year old, I came into this show knowing next to nothing about the source material, yet this didn't negatively impact my experience at all. Indeed, The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole Aged 13¾ is a musical that is fun for all generations, even if you're a bit too young to have seen the original series (or to have been alive in the 80's).  The musical was originally written by Jake Brunger with music and lyrics by Pippa Cleary. Whilst the show doesn't necessarily have a strictly linear plot and the story doesn't have the highest of stakes, its simplicity adds to the charm of the production. It truly feels like we are reading Adrian's diary, snippets of a young boys life, which of course wouldn't entail high scale adventures but everyday issues, such as puberty, d...

Play Review: The Witchfinder's Sister

Image
The Witchfinder's sister is a chilling tale based on the real life witch hunts of Thomas Hopkins. It was first written by Beth Underdown and was later adapted for the stage by Vickie Donoghue. The play tells the tale of Alice Hopkins an intelligent and independent woman who returns to her Essex home after a personal tragedy. Upon her arrival she finds her once beloved brother to be a Witchfinder and embroiled in a dark conspiracy against the women of the area. Alice embarks on a mission to put an end to the hysteria and save the women she knows to be innocent, attempting to save her brother's soul in the process.  Through the use of names and locations most associated with the 1600's witch hunts the story is instantly chilling before the production has even begun. This sense of fear and terror is added to throughout the production through the intense plot, filled with great moments of suspense and an ongoing mystery which allows the audience to unravel the conspiracy...
