LISTINGS Reform Theatre Company Stand Wednesday 25 September, 7.30pm On a Saturday afternoon Phil and Kev begin to question their continual attendance at United’s tedious games as they run the full gamut of chants and insults at the pitch. Meanwhile Vicky and Laura put themselves through a similar process of self–doubt whilst undressing the men down the local with their words and looks. When the four come together for a Saturday night out they realise that they are all at a pivotal moment in their lives, which results in a shocking climax. Winner of The Sunday Times Playwriting Award, David Bown’s tragic-comedy of manners (or lack of) is an unmissable theatrical experience.

UK Touring Theatre MiSS JuLie Monday 7 october, 7.30pm Midsummer’s Eve, Sweden, 1888. While the servants’ party continues in the barn outside, aristocratic Miss Julie is drawn to the kitchen and to the socially ambitious Jean, her father’s valet.

Sell a Door Theatre Company ghoStS Monday 14 & tuesday 15 october, 7.30pm pre-show talk: Tuesday 15 October, 6.30pm -7.00pm, with Dr Nigel Ward, Course Leader for BA (Hons) Performing Arts. “Whenever I take up a newspaper, I seem to see ghosts gliding between the lines.” Helen Alving is trapped in a world where the ‘dead ideas’ preached by Pastor Manders rule outright, and her own family’s insidious legacy threatens scandal. She is desperately trying to conceal her husband’s philandering past by building an orphanage in his name, under the pastor’s guiding hand. But the celebrated return of her estranged son Oswald brings Helen’s ghosts back to haunt her, and all hopes of success are reduced to ashes. Though penned in 1881, it is not hard for us to see the parallels in our own society; the pious leaders of the past replaced with our own custodians of the status quo, and money their new religion. Suitable for ages 10+ tickets: £12.50 (£10.00 concessions, £8.50 student/child)

pre-show talk: Thursday 17 October, 6.30pm -7.00pm, with Professor Eugene Giddens, SkinnerYoung Professor of Shakespeare and Renaissance Literature.
This is all about us, everyone that is, thinking that something is true when it isn’t. It’s a true story.
Shakespeare’s supernatural tragedy is presented in a nightmarish new reading by Sebastian Rex. A violence of sleep-deprivation and guilt are brought to life using choreography, physical theatre and an acerbic new voice. The themes of greed and megalomania are showcased in the original Shakespearean language with modern-day additions as a timeless Macbeth feels the vice-like grip of past sins, and the harrowing consequences of murdering sleep. Reality and hallucination merge in this astonishing piece of theatre. Suitable for ages 12+ Contains some violence tickets: £12.50 (£10.00 concessions, £8.50 student/child)
It’s a look at what people believe without question and an attempt to unpick the oddity of what we think we think. Part thriller, part comedic romp through human psychology, Uncanny Theatre stretch logic to breaking point in a show that’s visually arresting and absurdly funny in all of its low-tech glory. The rules are simple, and with a little luck you’ll be all right. Then again, why should you believe us? Suitable for ages 12+ tickets: £12.50 (£10.00 concessions, £8.50 student/child)

This clever new show comes to life with an irresistible blend of live music, fabulous puppets and high energy storytelling. Little people will love this funny, heart-warming tale.

Dioneo Opera Company the four note opera friday 1 & Saturday 2 november, 7.30pm Yes there’s a lot of “emotion, darling” but have you ever seen an opera singer looking slightly dead behind the eyes? Ever wondered what, if anything, she was actually thinking? This is your opportunity to find out… Following their hugely popular production of The Emperor of Atlantis, Dioneo present Tom Johnson’s The Four Note Opera – which really does use only 4 notes! Naturally, in the hands of Musical Director John Murton, the piece runs the full gamut of emotions: from A to D…to E… to…G… Part absurdist, part minimalist, part satire and part simple comedy, The Four Note Opera invites you to conspire in a “behind-the-queens” operatic exposé, to peer into the recesses of the singer’s mind, and to gasp at what lies therein.

“I can give you your forbidden, secret desire – the soft bitter touch of my kiss, the surrender, the chance to live and love for ever.” The time is 1897. Mankind is on the cusp of vast technological change, scientific mastery and media innovation. Poised between traditional beliefs, the threat of the unknown and the shock of the new world,
an altogether darker fear is emerging. Stretching from London, through provincial England, to the mountainous wastes of Transylvania, Bram Stoker’s timeless gothic thriller embodies the struggle to break taboos, resist temptation and stop the unknown outside becoming the enemy within. As Dracula’s shadow looms large over England, a small group of young men and women, led by Professor Van Helsing, are locked in a struggle for survival where only the fittest will survive. Adapted by John Ginman, Blackeyed Theatre’s Dracula blends Victorian Gothic with the contemporary, with specially commissioned live music, powerful ensemble performances and innovative design. Suitable for ages 13+ tickets: £12.50 (£10.00 concessions, £8.50 student/child)

Over the past ten years Jonathan Burrows and Matteo Fargion have built a body of duets which juxtapose the formality of music composition with a radical and open approach to performance and audiences. Cheap Lecture and The Cow Piece are a conversation with the structure of John Cage’s Lecture on Nothing, at once a homage to and questioning of a way of thinking that has underpinned so much dance and performance in the last thirty years.

RUSKIN GALLERY
VISUAL ARTS
The Ruskin Gallery is a unique exhibition space surrounded by artists’ studios on the Anglia Ruskin University’s Cambridge campus. Open to the public, all exhibitions are free and carefully selected to provide a singular and memorable gallery-going experience. With its vaulted ceilings and period character, the Ruskin Gallery is the perfect backdrop for traditional shows. The new digital technology (including the world’s first Panasonic 103” 3D Full HD plasma screen and a state-of-theart Bose audio system) is fully flexible, allowing both traditional hanging and digital viewing, either independently or simultaneously. The Ruskin Gallery opens many of its Private Views to members of the public as well as staff, students and invited guests, giving the whole community a chance to share in the experience. We see the Private View as an official celebration of the artists’ works, and often these events are attended by the exhibiting artists themselves, who may give speeches, provide Q&A sessions or discuss their works with guests. The Ruskin Gallery enormously enriches the cultural life of our University’s staff and students – an experience which we are delighted to share with the wider community. Enjoy the gallery: Monday – Saturday: 10.00am – 4.30pm

When you re-warm the baby, the brain cells no longer receive that signal to go down the death pathway.” Filmed in NICU Addenbrookes Hospital, film maker Shreepali Patel explores this state of human suspension that allows lifesaving medical intervention. The exhibition is a window into an intense and complex world suspended between life and death, science and emotion of those involved in this ‘bubble’ world of NICU.

Landscapes of exploration – contemporary british art from antarctica Ruskin Gallery ruskin gallery: thursday 3 october – thursday 24 october private view at ruskin gallery: Wednesday 2 october, 4.30pm the polar Museum, Scott polar research institute: 3 october – 16 november
Landscapes of Exploration highlights the role of contemporary art in examining Antarctica. What perspectives can art offer on this terra incognita? This is a forbidding environment where temperatures rarely rise above freezing, yet one that offers a wealth of geological and glaciological data, including indicators of climate change. Ten visual artists, one musician and three writers undertook residencies in the Antarctic between 2001 and 2009, as part of the British Antarctic
Survey’s Artists and Writers in Residence Scheme, supported by Arts Council England. This exhibition brings together the work that resulted from their various investigations, offering an opportunity to reflect upon the very different subject matter, media and artistic responses evident in the range of work produced. Curator Liz Wells, (Professor in Photographic Culture, Plymouth University) First shown at Peninsula Arts Gallery, Plymouth University, 2012.

the Seventh billion citizen Ruskin Gallery Wednesday 30 october – thursday 14 november private view: thursday 31 october, 5.00pm This video project is a response to the announcement by the UN, which drew attention to pressing issues surrounding the rapid growth of the global population. Each of the five videos was made by different artists in each of the five major population zones of the world and followed an agreed formula, inspired by the nineteenth century landscape paintings of Caspar David Friedrich that shows a lone figure, facing away from the viewer, and gazing upon a sublime landscape. The project seeks to convey awe and tranquillity, collectivity and isolation. It seeks to address the ambiguity of our era which the force of the UN announcement seems to hinge upon: the concern for the individual, in the face of overwhelming societal challenges.

LunchtiMe concert SerieS
Music at Anglia Ruskin has a long and distinguished history and our numerous public concerts and musical performances throughout the year range from early music to jazz, classical symphonic works to electro-acoustic extravaganzas, and of course, our full-scale operas. Frequent orchestral and choral concerts are mounted at venues in the city and a large array of smaller ensembles form a regular part of our University’s and city’s musical life. As well as performances in our own Recital Hall, there are also concerts and musicals in the Mumford Theatre, local churches, The Junction and West Road Concert Hall. Our regular series of Friday lunchtime concerts, which draws some of the world’s finest performers to our University, has become one of the highlights of Cambridge’s musical calendar. The series (directed by Alan Rochford) is generously supported by the Anglia Ruskin Arts Council and we are therefore able to offer free admission to all lunchtime concerts. We hope to welcome you to these events.
