SUMMARY:Speech and Language Therapy Done Right is Social Justice Work
DESCRIPTION:Join the Centre for Literacy and Multilingualism (CeLM) for a free online talk by Warda Farah on speech and language therapy and social justice\, taking place Tuesday February 1st\, at 6.00pm (UK time). \nSpeech and Language Therapy Done Right is Social Justice Work \nOur profession cannot move to the future without confronting and acknowledging its racist and colonial knowledge base. We know that children from Black backgrounds are overrepresented as having Speech & Language Impairments\, due to biased assessment protocols. We know that our current models\, practice base & service delivery is not good enough to bring about equitable change for these children/families. This will be a personal talk sharing my journey in trying to address the above issues and how I believe that we can all use our SLT skills to create meaningful change and social impact. \nWarda Farah (BSc\, PGCert\, HCPC\, MRCSLT) is a Speech and Language Therapist and Founder of Language Waves. Language Waves specialises in using an array of methods to provide culturally diverse therapeutic input for schools and local communities. The service was specifically set up to address the barriers that “minority” families face when accessing speech and language therapy services. \nTo register to attend this online talk please click here.

SUMMARY:Dwoskino: Outside In + intro by author Allan Sutherland
DESCRIPTION:Part of Experimenta focus: Stephen Dwoskin\, a series of film screenings and talks at the BFI Southbank from 1-24 February \nOutside In + intro by author Allan Sutherland\nMonday 07 February 2022 18:00 NFT3 \nDwoskin’s autofictional comedy about life among the non-disabled moves from documentary to the surreal. \n\nDirector – Stephen Dwoskin\nWith Olimpia Carlisi\, Beatrice Cordua\, Stephen Dwoskin\, Merdelle Jordine\nWest Germany 1981. 110min\nDigital premiere\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA comedy about life among the non-disabled\, with Outside In (1981) Dwoskin turned the camera’s gaze upon himself\, to show the full variety of reactions that his disabled body provoked\, from horror to pity to awkwardness. “I tend to forget that my disability is seen as abnormal by the greater part of society”\, he once said. \nShot on location in Dwoskin’s adoptive home in London\, and drawing on experience\, Dwoskin called Outside In ‘a combination of memories from the visual diary of a disabled person’. Raymond Durgnat wrote of its ‘abrupt switches between documentary interest and fiction\, jokiness and lyricism\, slapstick and sadness’. \n“To some people”\, Dwoskin recalled\, “it was disturbing because it broke into some of the taboos regarding people with disabilities especially in areas such as sexuality.” The result is Dwoskin’s most entertaining and accessible film. \n“Dwoskin is inexplicable. Beyond analysis\, description\, exegesis. With an impertinent\, unprecedented\, truly radical ease\, he goes beyond the structured\, intelligent\, intelligible words that could be uttered on his films. So much oratorical precaution to arrive at this: all I want to announce – yes\, as good news\, a last-minute surprise – is that the death of cinema is temporarily postponed\, and that there is still a filmmaker.” – Louis Skorecki\, “Dwoskin: le dernier cinéaste”\, Cahiers du cinéma\, July–August 1982 \nWinner of the 1982 Prix L’Age d’Or. \nOutside In will be introduced by Allan Sutherland\, author of the landmark book Disabled We Stand\, published in the year the film was made. \nBiography \nAllan Sutherland is a writer\, performer\, disability arts activist and leading historian of disability arts. In 1981\, with Stephen Dwoskin\, he programmed for the National Film Theatre ‘Carry On Cripple’\, a season of feature films about disability\, the UK’s first such. He created the Chronology of Disability Arts and\, with Tony Heaton\, developed the thinking behind what would become the National Disability Arts Collection and Archive. \nBuy tickets from BFI Southbank \n\n\n\n\n  \nExperimenta focus: Stephen Dwoskin season\nA unique and challenging filmmaker whose themes include disability\, sexuality\, diaspora\, and memory. \nStephen Dwoskin arrived in London from New York in 1964\, aged 25\, with a trunk of 16mm films shot in the milieu of Andy Warhol and Jonas Mekas. He became known for a series of films in which the camera’s unblinking gaze is returned by his female subjects. Laura Mulvey wrote that he ‘opened a completely new perspective for me on cinematic voyeurism’. In the mid-70s\, Dwoskin turned his gaze on his own body\, disabled in childhood by polio\, before making a number of personal documentaries about disability and diaspora. In the 2000s\, with his mobility severely impaired\, he embraced the possibilities of digital technology to return to the underground and the erotic obsessions that powered his extraordinary 50-year career. \nRachel Garfield and Henry K Miller\, co-programmers \nFor details of the entire programme\, please visit the Experimenta focus: Stephen Dwoskin page. \n

SUMMARY:Dwoskino: Study Day + Acting Out - Stephen Dwoskin film screening
DESCRIPTION:Part of Experimenta focus: Stephen Dwoskin\, a series of film screenings and talks at the BFI Southbank from 1-24 February \nStudy Day + Acting Out: Stephen Dwoskin film screening\nSaturday 12 February 2022 12:00 NFT3 \nAn introduction to Dwoskin through talks\, a keynote presentation by Adrian Martin plus a screening of Acting Out: Stephen Dwoskin\, a film by artist Philomène Hoël. \nDwoskin’s career\, not only as a filmmaker but as a painter\, designer\, writer\, and campaigner\, cut across many central questions of the era: disability\, sexuality\, diaspora\, and technology – especially technologies of memory. On his death in 2012 he left behind an extraordinarily rich archive\, which for more than three years has been the focus of a multi-institutional research team based at the University of Reading. \nThis Study Day will include presentations from in and outside the project\, culminating in a keynote talk from critic Adrian Martin. \nThe Study Day will be followed by the first live screening of Acting Out: Stephen Dwoskin\, a film by artist Philomène Hoël starring researchers Henry K. Miller and Darragh O’Donoghue. \nStudy Day 12pm to 4pm \nThese talks will introduce Dwoskin from a variety of perspectives\, addressing such key themes in his work as disability\, diaspora\, and memory\, and drawing on new research in the Dwoskin archive. The day will include a keynote talk from critic and audiovisual essayist Adrian Martin\, on Dwoskin’s project of ‘a complex\, hybrid cinema\, in which disorientation is a major source of pleasure’. \nRachel Garfield and Will Fowler introduction \nPanel 1– Elisa Adami: Between the Archive and Repertoire: Embodied Memory in Stephen Dwoskin’s Ballet Black (1986)– Darragh O’Donoghue: Inside out and outside in: some thoughts on Dwoskin\, Paula Rego\, disability\, and feminism– Tom Cuthbertson: Before the Beginning/Avant le début: autobiography\, imitation\, control \nPanel 2– Jenny Chamarette and Henry K. Miller: Intoxicated By My Archive \nKeynote talk –  Adrian Martin: Getting Lost in Dwoskin (chaired by Alison Butler) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDisorientation\, on every level\, is a powerful and disconcerting force in the work of Stephen Dwoskin. Focussing on the feature-length films he made in the 1970s\, this talk will explore the productive tension (as identified by Raymond Durgnat in the ’80s) between Dwoskin’s rigorous ‘plastic aesthetics’ (of space\, colour\, composition\, etc.) and his remarkable experimentation with narrative forms. Today\, artists who work in a similar way are frequently told that their films would best ‘fit into an art gallery context’. Yet Dwoskin\, in his time\, held on to the project of a complex\, hybrid cinema\, in which disorientation is a major source of pleasure. \nFilm Screening 4pm to 5pm\nActing Out: Stephen Dwoskin (dir. Philomène Hoël\, 2020) \nThe day will end with the first in-person screening of artist Philomène Hoël’s film Acting Out: Stephen Dwoskin\, in which ‘Hoël plays a high-wire game with her fellow researchers\, exploring the nature of their mutual obsession; filmmaker Stephen Dwoskin\, whose life and fictive world bleeds into their encounter through a series of interventions in disconcerting and hilarious ways’ (Ben Cook). \nBuy tickets from BFI Southbank. \n  \nExperimenta focus: Stephen Dwoskin season\nA unique and challenging filmmaker whose themes include disability\, sexuality\, diaspora\, and memory. \nStephen Dwoskin arrived in London from New York in 1964\, aged 25\, with a trunk of 16mm films shot in the milieu of Andy Warhol and Jonas Mekas.

SUMMARY:Dwoskino: Ballet Black + discussion with two of the film’s stars\, Jacqueline Boatswain and Colin Charles
DESCRIPTION:Part of Experimenta focus: Stephen Dwoskin\, a series of film screenings and talks at the BFI Southbank from 1-24 February \nBallet Black\n+ discussion with two of the film’s stars\, Jacqueline Boatswain and Colin Charles\nTuesday 15 February 2022 18:10 NFT3 \nA very personal documentary about pioneering Black British dance troupe Ballets Nègres. \n\n\nDirector – Stephen Dwoskin\nWith Jacqueline Boatswain\, Colin Charles\, Astley Harvey\, Joy Richardson\nUK 1986. 83min. 16mm\n\n\n\nDwoskin’s lifelong love of dance culminated in this very personal documentary about the Ballets Nègres\, the pioneering Black British dance troupe\, founded in London in 1946. Using a wealth of rare archival material and interviews\, Ballet Black tells a story about pre-Windrush Black British culture that is still little-known today. \nThe story is brought alive by Dwoskin’s cast of younger dancers\, seen rehearsing and performing the original troupe’s dances in a variety of inventive styles\, and at a reunion party with the older generation. On its first release in 1987 it was shown in a double-bill with Black Audio Film Collective’s Handsworth Songs. \n“The film climaxes with a spectacular and vibrant performance of ‘They Came’ by young black dancers. The fact that a ballet 40 years old appears exciting and contemporary is surely a tribute to the company’s place in the development of ballet and British culture.”– Chinyelu Onwurah\, Guardian\, 1986 \nBallet Black will be followed by a discussion of the making of the film and its legacy by two of its stars\, Jaqueline Boatswain (Shameless\, Cuckoo) and Colin Charles (Cats – original production\, English National Opera). \nBiographies\nJacqueline Boatswain is an actor\, dancer\, and singer whose West End roles include Kiss Me Kate\, Chicago\, and Jesus Christ Superstar. She has numerous television credits\, including long-running characters in Grange Hill\, Hollyoaks and Doctors. Her recent roles include Shameless\, Vera\, Bancroft\, Miracle Workers\, Shakespeare & Hathaway\, David Hare’s Collateral\, and alongside Orlando Bloom and Cara Delevingne in Carnival Row. \nColin Charles trained at the Rambert School of Ballet and Contemporary Dance. His West End credits include We Will Rock You\, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat\, Miss Saigon\, Cats\, and Five Guys Named Moe; and he has appeared in in English National Opera productions of Orpheus in the Underworld\, Faust\, and Aida. He is current performing in Dirty Dancing at the Dominion Theatre. \n\n\n\n\nBuy tickets from BFI Southbank \n\n\n\n\n  \nExperimenta focus: Stephen Dwoskin season\nA unique and challenging filmmaker whose themes include disability\, sexuality\, diaspora\, and memory. \nStephen Dwoskin arrived in London from New York in 1964\, aged 25\, with a trunk of 16mm films shot in the milieu of Andy Warhol and Jonas Mekas.

He became known for a series of films in which the camera’s unblinking gaze is returned by his female subjects. Laura Mulvey wrote that he ‘opened a completely new perspective for me on cinematic voyeurism’. In the mid-70s\, Dwoskin turned his gaze on his own body\, disabled in childhood by polio\, before making a number of personal documentaries about disability and diaspora. In the 2000s\, with his mobility severely impaired\, he embraced the possibilities of digital technology to return to the underground and the erotic obsessions that powered his extraordinary 50-year career. \nRachel Garfield and Henry K Miller\, co-programmers \nFor details of the entire programme\, please visit the Experimenta focus: Stephen Dwoskin page. \n

SUMMARY:Researching the history of printing in Iran: particularities and challenges
DESCRIPTION:Dr Borna Izadpanah\, Department of Typography\, University of Reading \nThis event organised by the Centre for Book Cultures and Publishing (CBCP) is free and open to all. This research seminar will be a hybrid event\, taking place on the University of Reading campus\, Typography Department\, Room A6\, and online. \nPlease register your interest to receive the Zoom link here: \nhttps://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/researching-the-history-of-printing-in-iran-particularities-and-challenges-tickets-242664866147  \nThis seminar introduces some of the particularities and challenges that Borna’s recently completed PhD research faced in developing the chapter that deals with the introduction of Arabic-script printing to nineteenth-century Iran. One of the significant aspects of Arabic-script metal types produced in Iran is their extremely minimal use. This is also true of the number of surviving copies of the early Persian publications in Iran which were printed with those types. For example\, the first Qurʾān printed with both typography (1827) and lithography (1834) are limited to two identified copies. Additionally\, the condition of extant copies of books printed in Iran during this period are often extremely poor and\, in many cases\, incomplete. \nThis presentation demonstrates Borna’s experience of investigating the early Persian publications in Iran\, which shows that many of these publications have yet to be identified. As will be shown\, the discovery of previously unknown publications in libraries or private collections – which is not an infrequent occurrence – often overturns the received history of printing in Iran. \nBorna Izadpanah is a typeface designer and researcher based in London. He holds a PhD in Typography & Graphic Communication from the University of Reading\, where he also graduated with an MA in Typeface Design. His doctoral research explored the history of the early typographic representation of the Persian language. Borna has received numerous prestigious awards for his research and typeface design including the Grand Prize and the First Prize in Arabic Text Typeface in Granshan Type Design Competition\, TDC Certificate of Typographic Excellence\, and the Symposia Iranica Prize for the best paper in Art History. \nThis research seminar will be a hybrid event\, taking place online and on the University of Reading campus\, Room A6\, Typography Department http://www.reading.ac.uk/web/files/maps/whiteknights-campus-map.pdf (Building number 21 on this map). \nFor details of further CBCP events\, please see the events schedule.
