SUMMARY:3rd Symposium on How It Is by Samuel Beckett
DESCRIPTION:Gare St Lazare Ireland and The Samuel Beckett Research Centre\nFriday 5 March 2021\, 10:00 – 19:00 GMT\n \nA one day international symposium with guest speakers\, panellists and a performance centred on Samuel Beckett’s novel How It Is. \nGare St Lazare Ireland\, the Irish theatre company that specializes in staging the prose of Samuel Beckett\, holds its 3rd symposium around discussion inspired by Beckett’s groundbreaking 1964 novel How It Is first published in French as Comment c’est 1961. \nSupported by The Samuel Beckett Research Centre at University of Reading\, the symposium will take place online. The speakers will include a cross section of academics and practitioners and it will also feature a short work-in-progress performance from Gare St Lazare Ireland’s ongoing staging of How It Is by Samuel Beckett. \nSince 2015 Gare St Lazare have committed to staging the novel in three parts over 3 productions.

Its planned run at The Coronet in April 2020 was postponed. In January 2021 the company presented ‘How It Is by Samuel Beckett – A Digital Preview’ as an on line event in co-production with The Coronet and in association with The Everyman. They continue to work towards presenting all three parts in a single durational event. \nRegister for a free place here. \nFollowing your registration you will receive a link to the Webinar which will be active from 10am (UCT/GMT) on Friday March 5th 2021.

SUMMARY:Dwoskin\, disability and... accessibility: Face of Our Fear
DESCRIPTION:Dwoskin\, disability\, and… accessibility: Face of Our Fear is the first in a series of rare screenings and discussion events exploring the experimental filmmaker Stephen Dwoskin’s complex relationships with disability\, accessibility\, care\, illness\, and sexuality. \nFirst shown on the launch night of Channel 4’s ‘Disabling World’ season in 1992\, Face of Our Fear is an essay film about media representations of disability from antiquity to the modern era. Far from being a standard documentary\, it is peppered with personal touches\, surreal scenes\, and echoes of Dwoskin’s underground films. \nThe film probes the social model of disability: the cultural narratives that pinion disabled people as victims\, villains\, freaks\, and monsters\, and the ableist and disabling built and social environments that become sites of daily negotiation. The overall result is incisive and polemical\, accessible and witty. \nThe event will begin with an introduction and communal viewing of Face of Our Fear at 19:00 on Friday 5 March\, followed by a discussion on accessibility\, interdependence and care from 20:00 featuring David Ruebain and Yates Norton and chaired by Jenny Chamarette. Face of Our Fear will also be made available by the LUX for a week subsequent to the live event. \nTo take part\, please use this page to register online. This a free event and open to everyone. The film will include closed captions\, and the live discussion will be BSL interpreted and live captioned. The discussion will last no longer than 60 minutes. \nThis event is co-hosted by the LUX and the Centre for Film Aesthetics and Cultures (CFAC) at the University of Reading\, and supported by CFAC\, the Arts Committee and the Diversity and Inclusion Initiatives Fund of the University of Reading. \nThe Dwoskin Project is a three year AHRC funded project based at the University of Reading.
