Saturday 17 November 2012 – Sunday 10 February 2013 Djanogly Art Gallery Admission free

A sensational new exhibition inspired by Alan Sillitoe’s groundbreaking novel and the film adaptation directed by Karel Reisz.

First published in 1958, Saturday Night and Sunday Morning helped frame its cultural moment. It charts a year in the life of Arthur Seaton, machinist in the Raleigh cycle factory, and young urban rebel. The novel appeared at the time of a spate of accounts of urban working-class life by academics, playwrights, novelists and documentary filmmakers. Many were concerned with the emergence of a new working-class affluence and individualism.

The end of post-war austerity also signaled the advent of a distinct youth culture; for the first time young people defined themselves outside of their parents’ culture, and had spending power, like

never before, which they used on fashion, music and entertainment. The 1950s and 60s also witnessed the most radical urban re-housing programme in this country’s history that was to change British society irrevocably.

Taking seminal moments from the book and film, the exhibition explores the depiction of these social changes in contemporary photography. Focusing in particular on working-class culture, it highlights the various approaches taken by a generation of photographers drawn to ‘the regions’ in an attempt to capture the authenticity of ‘ordinary lives’.

The exhibition features a selection of never-before-exhibited stills from Reisz’s iconic film, much of which was shot on

location in Nottingham, plus work by ‘Young Meteors’: John Bulmer, Graham Finlayson, Terence Donovan and Roger Mayne. Their works are complemented by that of other national photographers such as Maurice Broomfield and Shirley Baker, as well as an array of accomplished local amateurs.

Drawing its material from Nottingham and the Midlands, as well as the Black Country and Manchester, Saturday Night and Sunday Morning captures the essence of Sillitoe’s world and a country at the point of profound cultural change.

Michelle Stuart: Drawn from Nature Saturday 16 February – Sunday 14 April Djanogly Art Gallery Admission free Admission free

Michelle Stuart: Drawn from Nature is the first exhibition of the American artist’s work in the UK since her major solo show at London’s ICA in 1979. Since the late 1960s, Stuart has become internationally known for a rich and diverse body of work stemming from her lifelong interest in the natural world and the cosmos. Working in drawing, sculpture, photography, video, installation and site-specific earthworks, she has pursued a subtle and responsive dialogue with nature, distinct from the epic gestures of American Land Art.

Spanning the period from the late 1960s to the present day, the exhibition encompasses a characteristically varied and unconventional range of media, while highlighting Stuart’s major contribution to the practice of drawing. During the 1970s she became known for her monumental drawings made outdoors, where rolls of paper were smashed with rocks, stroked with earth, or rubbed with graphite until the characteristics of a given site became ingrained in their surfaces. At the Djanogly Art Gallery, these expansive scrolls are shown alongside a video documenting a 460-foot long drawing produced in this way.

Niagara Gorge Path Relocated 1975

Other works in the exhibition respond to the Nazca Lines, the Uffington White Horse and Mexican petroglyphs—pushing our understanding of drawing beyond the page. Expansive maps of real and imaginary landscapes form the backdrop to a selection of Stuart’s sculptural works and hand-made books, made with natural materials gathered on her travels. The exhibition concludes with Stuart’s recent photographic grids, expansive works which encapsulate the potent blend of ‘real history, imaginative history and natural history’ that has characterised her work for over forty years.

Still: Dean Rogers For over 10 years, Dean Rogers has worked closely with some of our most talented film directors including Shane Meadows and Anton Corbijn. Commonly catching actors while ‘off set’ and employing a cinematic approach to lighting, his photographs are full of their own narrative possibility and emotion.

This exhibition complements the selection of film stills included in the Saturday Night and Sunday Morning exhibition.

Barbara Walker A strand of Barbara Walker’s recent artistic practice has been concerned with the politics of display, and specifically the self-defining style choices made by men. During a 3-month residency at Lakeside she will work on a series of large-scale charcoal drawings pursuing her theme in the public and very visible space of the Angear Visitor Centre.

Water!

Pipes, Pumps, Floods and Drains in The University of Nottingham’s Water Archives Drought conditions or torrential rain affecting water supply always make headlines.

Yet there is much more to the story of water. Our Victorian ancestors built an impressive network of pumping stations, water mains, reservoirs and sewerage pipes, much of which is still in use today, to improve sanitation and provide clean drinking water for all. Earlier generations cut drains to reclaim agricultural land, and built canals, weirs and locks to improve navigation. In the twentieth century, scientists and engineers worked to predict floods and construct flood defences.

This exhibition focuses in particular on the city of Nottingham, and the work of the various authorities and public bodies charged with providing reliable water supply, sewerage and water treatment, and flood prevention schemes. It draws on original archives and photographs held by the University’s Department of Manuscripts and Special Collections.

Thursday 14 February Global water stress, climate change and uncertainty 1.2 billion people currently live in water scarce regions of the globe. How will this change in the future? How much is climate change to blame for water stress? And how certain can we be about projections of water stress for the coming decades? Dr Simon Gosling of the School of Geography explores these questions within a global context.

Wednesday 6 March Water journeys Dr Rachel Gomes of the Faculty of Engineering provides an introduction to the human interaction with the water cycle, and the treatment of used water. We are all water consumers but do we all know what happens to the water we use, and how does our behaviour as a water consumer impact on that water journey?

Wednesday 13 March A year immersed in the water archives Sarah Colborne, Project Archivist, gives a behind-the-scenes look at the work involved in making accessible the backlog of previously uncatalogued water records held by Manuscripts and Special Collections at The University of Nottingham.

Unknown, Virtually: Nottingham's Sandstone Caves Wednesday 23 January 2013 Dr David Strange-Walker, Trent and Peak Archaeology Since 2010 staff from Trent & Peak Archaeology have been exploring, surveying and visualising Nottingham's 550 man-made sandstone caves. Some of these are well-known fixtures on the tourist trail but most of these hidden gems are little-known, privately owned, and hard to visit. In this talk we will find out how the caves have shaped Nottingham, and how the Nottingham Caves Survey is using the latest technology to bring these caves to a whole new virtual audience.

Following the talk David Strange-Walker will demonstrate the surveying equipment in the Museum.

The Hallaton Treasure: An Iron Age Mystery Wednesday 27 February Helen Sharpe, Leicestershire County Council Archaeology Officer The Hallaton Treasure is one of the most important archaeological discoveries ever made in the East Midlands. It comprises over 5000 Iron Age and Roman coins, one of the highest quality Roman cavalry helmets ever discovered in Europe, the remains of over 400 pigs and mysterious silver objects. The objects were buried at a native British shrine in the years surrounding the Roman invasion of Britain. This talk explains what was found and what this incredible array of objects can tell us about life in the East Midlands 2000 years ago.

The talk will be followed by a chance to handle beautifully preserved gold and silver coins from the Hallaton Treasure and to find out what amazing stories these tiny objects can tell us.

The Orlando Consort The Rose, the Lily and the Whortleberry: Gardens and Horticulture in Medieval and Renaissance Music

Summon up a pictorial image of Medieval courtly love and it is almost inevitable that it will feature a garden. Throughout history, the symbolic and allegorical allure of flowers has been irresistible to artists, poets and composers who have delighted in the overt beauty and secret codes that flowers convey. This program explores the inventiveness of composers from the 13th to the 16th centuries from all over Europe who have employed floral imagery to illustrate earthly and heavenly love, in pure and sometimes erotic manner.

From France in the 13th and 14th centuries come some of the earliest of all written songs and music by Machaut, possibly the greatest of all musical portrayers of courtly love. From England, spellbinding sacred music from the 15th century in motets from the Song of Songs.

From 15th and 16th century Burgundy, France, and Italy, music by Ciconia, Brumel, Clemens non Papa, Gombert, and others that effortlessly switches between enchanting representations of horticulture and sentiments that would make any keen gardener blush!

The concert finishes at approximately 9.25pm

Unlike the later tone-poems, Sibelius's powerfully original 'En Saga' (Fairy-tale, or Saga) of 1892 has no specific story upon which the music is based, being rather, in the composer's words, an 'adventure in an inner landscape', and a work in which the listener is invited to imagine their own narrative. Tchaikovsky's remarkable ballet music reveals the most extraordinary delicacy of orchestral colour and texture in conjuring the fantastical happenings of E.T.A. Hoffmann's tale 'The Nutcracker and the Mouse King'. The concert closes with Brahms's gloriously optimistic and invigorating Third Symphony.

The Bridge is a silent film from the early 20th century to which composer Tim Wright has written a score for solo cello and electronics. Psappha was the first UK ensemble to perform Steve Reich’s Double Sextet which was composed in 2008 and won the Pulitzer Prize the following year.

LITTLE BOYS

Exhibition Created by Year 1 children from Dunkirk Primary School with the help of artist Jessica Kemp, you can re-enact your favourite scenes in this magical world from the show.

Written by Mike Kenny Music by Julian Butler Directed by Matt Aston A heart-warming tale of friendship‌ Two little boys had two little toys, each had a wooden horse. They spent long summer days playing as all children do. Warriors one minute, mishaps and broken toys the next. One thing was for certain, from happy-go-lucky boys to brave young men, their friendship would last forever.

Inspired by the song made famous by Rolf Harris, Olivier Award-winning writer Mike Kenny takes the lyrics to create a heart-warming new tale of life-long camaraderie and friendship.

Jim and Joyce recall their encounters with insight, confusion, humour and love.

Robertson’s Crusoe: No Man Is An Island…

Written and Performed by Gavin Robertson

“New beginnings. The end of one thing is the start of another, that’s all. And sometimes, even with relationships, you need ‘a temporary ceasing of being’. It’s ok to be on your own. Well it is, for me.

For now.”

This unique solo show creates an urban and gritty world where a Hit Man, an Alzheimer’s sufferer and a ‘single white male’ share their thoughts and theories on being alone - interwoven with the classic ‘Crusoe’ story and an exploration of cosmology.

An extraordinary blend of precise physicality and bold images, ‘Robertson’s Crusoe’ is atmospheric and cinematic – minimum set, maximum effect, supported by an originally composed evocative underscore.

Gavin Robertson performs with a subtle conviction that is compelling to watch...

Alice Oswald Memorial In her book-length poem, Memorial, Alice Oswald takes Homer’s Iliad and translates it into an astonishing, beautiful and shocking twenty-first century elegy. Her performance of it is starkly dramatic and intensely moving, and is absolutely unlike any other poetry reading you will see.

Alice Oswald won the Forward Prize 1996 with The Thing in the Gap-stone Stile, the T S Eliot Award with Dart, the Geoffrey Faber Memorial Prize 2006 with Woods, Etc. the inaugural Ted Hughes Award with Weeds and Wild Flowers and a Cholmondeley Award in 2009 for her contribution to poetry.

All poetry has a memorial aspect – the fixing of a moment, a place, the passing of a life. But this is remembering on a grand scale. This is a concentrated, intense, multi-tasking elegy. And it is written with a freshness to match Homer's own – as if each soldier had died on the day of writing.

On Order and Anarchy Colette Sadler (UK) With live music and dance, this new work by choreographer Colette Sadler in collaboration with four dancers and two musicians starts with the idea ‘Composition means to build an instrument’ by composer Helmut Lachenmann and presents the audience with an abstract game based on unstable logic and shaped by the performers relationships.

This work is not about representing a social or political system but rather about people trying to 'do' something together, negotiating the space between individual freedom and communality.

'On Order & Anarchy' follows 'Musical' a previous collaboration between the artist and Viennese composer Noid, also presented at Lakeside during the 2011 Nottdance festival.

Co-produced by Dance4 Nottingham. Supported by the National Lottery through Arts Council England. Supported by Haupt Stadt Kultur Fonds Germany in collaboration with SophienSaele Berlin.

Additional support from Choreographic Futures (DanceBase Edinburgh and the Workroom Glasgow funded).

APNEA

Maria Hassabi (USA) Performing with a Persian carpet, Maria arranges her movement as an investigation of fluid sculptural process. The carpet – originally a kind of grounding frame for the dance – becomes, variously, a prop, an outer skin, architecture. These shifts describe the negotiation of desire in a dancing figure approaching visibility, and connect with the material of a defining sculptural ground. This desire manifests itself as a changing temporal process, as complex and interwoven as the many patterns in the carpet.

Gazing at this exquisitely designed living sculpture, you also feel your own body straining with Hassabi, and in the slow friction between these two views, mysterious emotions ignite.

The Village Voice

Rodrigo Sobarzo (Netherlands) Apnea: the temporary cessation of breathing Drawing on the iconography of sports divers and escape artists Rodrigo immortalises the human body.

Pushing at the boundaries of the physical and of the human, he creates a visual and immersive experience of air and the act of breathing.

Here Rodrigo translates the physical implications of submersion into the audience’s territory, their minds and inner bodies.

Concept and performance Rodrigo Sobarzo; Lighting design Jan Fedinger.

Ship of Fools Niv Sheinfeld & Oren Laor (Israel)

Box office 0115 846 7777 Spiced with the music of ABBA, Pet Shop Boys and Michael Jackson, we confront a woman and two men on board their own Ship of Fools, an allegorical vessel without a helmsman or captain, seemingly ignorant of their own direction.

Each is bound in a closed, protected world of their own.

Nevertheless their encounters are inevitable. As the boundaries that separate the performers are crossed, their personal baggage falls apart and becomes exposed.

'Who is the fool? Us or them?'

Both entertaining and thought-provoking, this work examines the fragile encounter between the human need to protect one's distinctiveness from destruction and a yearning for acceptance.

This is a welcome return to Lakeside after their warmly received show in January 2012, Big Mouth/Covariance.

Commissioned by Israel Festival 2011 and supported by Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Choreographers Association, Suzanne Dellal Centre and Adama.

Lysistrata Directed by Martin Berry Translated from Aristophanes

by Alan Sommerstein The ancient world is gripped by a seemingly interminable war. With the men of Athens all serving in the forces, the women of the city can take no more. In secret, they meet with the enemy women and form a pact. The battle moves into the bedroom. No sex for the men - unless the women get peace. Lysistrata is the original battle of the sexes and its themes of feminism, power and politics are as relevant now as they were in ancient Greece.

The sublime and the ridiculous combine in this hilarious story of a small dog with a big personality and even bigger dreams, brought to life by Little Angel Theatre using beautiful puppets, well-loved ballet music and dazzling comedy.

This play is based on the original book Dogs Don’t Do Ballet © 2010 text by Anna Kemp, illustrations by Sara Ogilvie First published in the United Kingdom by Simon and Schuster UK Ltd
