The UK’s Theatre and Performance Research Association (TaPRA) passed a BDS resolution today. 📣

It took an amazing group a lot work, but the vote was overwhelmingly in favour.

Tickets now available for Shane Boyle (@shaneboyle.bsky.social)'s presentation "Marxism and Theatre Ecology: The Metabolic Performances of Otobong Nkanga and Zina Saro-Wiwa", 26 March 6PM: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/shane-boyl...
Poster for Quorum with the Queen Mary University of London logo and a teal and white marble accent bar on the right hand side of the page. It reads: "Shane Boyle, Marxism and Theatre Ecology: The Metabolic Performances of Otobong Nkanga and Zina Saro-Wiwa. This talk looks to demonstrate the usefulness of Marxist ecological thought for performance studies by examining several recent works by Otobong Nkanga and Zina Saro-Wiwa that engage with the colonial histories of resource extraction in West and Southwest Africa. These performances—staged atop abandoned mines and oil pipelines—give aesthetic form to what Marx called the “metabolic rift” between humanity and nature. 26 March, 6PM, Rehearsal Room 2, ArtsOne, Mile End Rd, E1 4PA, London." Poster for Quorum with the Queen Mary University of London logo and a teal and white marble accent bar on the right hand side of the page. It reads: "Shane Boyle is Senior Lecturer in the School of the Arts at Queen Mary University of London. His books include The Arts of Logistics: Artistic Production in Supply Chain Capitalism (Stanford 2024) and the co-edited collection Postdramatic Theatre and Form (Methuen Bloomsbury 2019). For the 2024-25 academic year, Shane is a Global Dis:connect research fellow at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich."

Tickets now available for Patrick Anderson's presentation "Ephemeral Terror: Policing and Performance Theory", 19 March 6PM: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/patrick-an...
Poster for Quorum with the Queen Mary University of London logo and a teal and white marble accent bar on the right hand side of the page. It reads: "This project, for which Patrick was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship, is based on his experience serving on the commission charged with conducting community-based oversight of the San Diego Police Department. It is both ethnographic ­– providing a perspective on the inner workings of policing in a large city – and theoretical – using the tools and methods of theatre and performance studies to understand police practice and to argue for an abolitionist future. 19 March, 6PM, Rehearsal Room 2, ArtsOne, Mile End Rd, E1 4PA, London." Poster for Quorum with the Queen Mary University of London logo and a teal and white marble accent bar on the right hand side of the page. It reads: "Patrick Anderson is a Professor in the departments of Communication, Ethnic Studies, and Critical Gender Studies at the University of California, San Diego, and a 2023 Guggenheim Fellow. He is the author of Autobiography of a Disease (Routledge, 2017) and So Much Wasted (Duke University Press, 2010) and the co-editor, with Jisha Menon, of Violence Performed (Palgrave, 2009). His most recent book, The Lamentations: A requiem for queer suicide, was released by Fordham University Press in 2024."

Today marks our 9 year anniversary 🎉

For close to a decade, this migrant-led campaign has worked diligently to end #HostileEnvironment policy in UK higher education.

Our direction has changed. Read our "New Ways of Working" statement & get involved: linktr.ee/urbc

Bizarre statement @ucu.org.uk.

For 6️⃣ years you refused to work with us to end #HostileEnvironment policy in UK HE. As this policy extend to other areas, instead, you capitulate to the very neoliberal, marketised dynamics that harms migrant students & all staff alike.

Palestinians *will* return to their sea:

www.madamasr.com/en/2023/10/1...
Palestine is a maritime nation. Her poets dream of Mediterranean billows. Her children learn to dive and swim in the sea and play football on the sand. Her cuisine boasts fruits of the sea prepared in inventive ways. Palestinian families picnic on her beaches up and down the coast. Palestinian seaside homes open their shutters to Mediterranean air and water. Even as Palestine’s famed ports –Haifa, Jaffa, Acre– were usurped in the Nakba, Palestinians remain stubbornly attached to their sea. As Palestinians in Gaza await the fleet of Israeli and US warships “transforming the sea into one of the fountainheads of hell” — in echoes of Darwish’s Memory — the Mediterranean awaits their return.
