03.11.15 • Encore I: Be A Man/That’s Not Very Ladylike – True Stories Live
Part 1 of 2. Every day we are given clear instructions about how to behave. These orders come from passers-by, window displays, bus ads or perhaps the supermarket. Phrases like ‘be a man’ or ‘that’s not very ladylike’ seep their way into our unconscious and lie there, heavy and immovable. On this battlefield, we must stop and take stock of our moments of weakness, as well as our moments of bravery. And one night in October, Spark audiences came together to stop and celebrate;l pause and acknowledge. Together we told stories of our experiences on this theme. Many thanks to the charity Tender for suggesting the theme. You can find out more about their work at tender.org.uk28.10.15 • Sick & Tired – Mat & Louise – True Stories Told Live
Two true stories of being sick and tired – both literally and figuratively. From breaking a leg on holiday to surviving a particularly bad case of man flu, being left on our last nerve at a stressful job, or those situations that are far more serious, our audience at the Brixton Ritzy heard about those moments when we are at our lowest physically or mentally, and rise above it.
Thanks to Mat and Louise for allowing us to share these stories – and our team in Brixton: Charley Harrison, Hannah Ratcliffe and Nicole Thomas Wyeth.
Nicole is leaving our Brixton night this month to pursue other projects, some Spark related, and we all wish her the very best fortunes for the future. Cheers Nicole!
