The season launches with a free concert as part of the Walter Carroll Lunchtime Concert Series with Ignacio Lara Romero (violin) and Richard Whalley (piano). The Thursday lunchtime concerts are free and there is no need to book, so you can just turn up on the day and enjoy the music! Following the exciting news that Manchester has joined UNESCO’s worldwide Creative Cities network as a UNESCO City of Literature, we are privileged to host several Literature Live events, including celebrations to mark UNESCO International Mother Language Day. As part of these celebrations, we welcome Ugandan novelist Jennifer Nansubuga Makumbi and poet, novelist and photographer Mariko Nagai. We are pleased to host Borderland, presented by Public Burning Theatre. The production, which is a story of race, religion, sexuality and boxing, forms part of LGBT History Month 2018. To celebrate International Women’s Day we will host a Manchester University Music Society concert as part of Musica, a special week-long festival celebrating all aspects of female music making, including composition, performance and conducting. You can join resident string quartet, Quatuor Danel as they conclude their exhilarating thirteenth season at the University.

INTRODUCING THE MARTIN HARRIS CENTRE The Martin Harris Centre for Music and Drama is a performance space at the heart of The University of Manchester.
350-seat Cosmo Rodewald Concert Hall
100-seat John Thaw Studio Theatre
The Creative Campus The Centre is situated at the very heart of the University’s campus. Since it opened in 2003, the Centre has contributed to the cultural life of students, staff, alumni and the wider community. It hosts new and emerging artists, as well as more established, internationally renowned figures. The Centre offers a varied programme of arts events, many of which are free, in order to educate, stimulate and engage audiences, as well as provide memorable and inspirational experiences. Events are open to the public and include concerts, theatre productions, literature and spoken word events, seminars and lectures. It incorporates two major performance spaces: the 350-seat Cosmo Rodewald Concert Hall and the John Thaw Studio Theatre, which can accommodate approximately 100 people.
Accessibility The Martin Harris Centre is open to all, and strives to be inclusive. In 2015, the Centre embarked on a journey to become a more dementia-friendly and accessible arts venue. Over the past few years, adaptations have been made to the venue, the programme and to facilities, in order to encourage participation. Relaxed Performances are now programmed each season. These concerts are designed to be less formal than other events and intended to be welcoming to people who may not feel comfortable visiting an arts venue. Small changes, such as leaving the lights on during a concert, and allowing audience members to move around or leave during a performance make the environment more welcoming. The events are open to everyone, including people living with dementia, a learning disability, or visitors on the autistic spectrum. Friends, family members and carers are also welcome.

Centre for New Writing 10 year Anniversary Season 2007-2017 Throughout the 2017/2018 season we celebrate the Centre for New Writing’s tenth year anniversary.
LITERATURE LIVE: Sophie Collins and Carol Mavor Sophie Collins is a poet, editor and translator. small white monkeys, a text on self-expression, self-help and shame, was published by Book Works in November 2017 as part of a commissioned residency at Glasgow Women’s Library. Her first poetry collection, Who Is Mary Sue?, will be published by Faber & Faber in February 2018. She is currently Assistant Professor of Poetry at Durham University.
Venue Cosmo Rodewald Concert Hall Time & Date 7.30pm, Monday 12 February 2018 Price £7 / £5
Sophie Collins
Carol Mavor is a writer who takes creative risks in form (literary and experimental) and political risks in content (sexuality, racial hatred, child-loving and the maternal). She shares this provocative approach with her students as Professor of Art History and Visual Studies at The University of Manchester. Her books include Reading Boyishly: J.M. Barrie, Roland Barthes, Jacques Henri Lartigue, Marcel Proust and D.W. Winnicott and Blue Mythologies. As Maggie Nelson writes of her latest book, Aurelia: Art and Literature through Carol Mavor the Mouth of the Fairy Tale: ‘Forget whatever you previously associated with “fairy tales,” and enter Carol Mavor’s kaleidoscopic universe of art and literature. Everyone from Ralph Eugene Meatyard to Kiki Smith to Frank Baum to Emmett Till to Francesca Woodman to Langston Hughes is here, and so many more, held together by Mavor’s casually erudite, finely spun web. Aurelia is as strange, enigmatic, and full of magic as its subjects.’ This event will be hosted by Vona Groarke, poet and teacher at the Centre for New Writing at The University of Manchester and is presented in partnership with The Real Story.

University of Manchester Drama Society:
Manchester In-Fringe Theatre Awards (MIFTAs) The MIFTAS are a series of 8 plays, whether original or published, that take place during February and March 2018, in theatres across Manchester, including the John Thaw Studio Theatre. This judged season is put together entirely by students, being the writers, directors, producers, actors and designers of all the shows. The opening production will be:
Yellow Icing Writer: Rory Calland Director: Ollie Norton-Smith Assistant Director: Elena Brearly Producer: Virginia Saul Harper struggles to appreciate the world in her time; destined to be an explorer perhaps she was born too late and the earth is now shrunken and shrivelled. Around her is only decay, the world is beyond its prime yet people still absurdly cling to existence. Joined by Captain Robert Scott, Harper simply desires to catalogue the animals on her beach, but her family is looming above her. Tickets are available from the Manchester Students’ Union Please call Box Office 0161 275 4278

Public Burning Theatre present
Borderland
written by James Harker directed by Danielle McIlven When a racist white boxer instinctively defends a young Asian woman in an after-school fight, neither is prepared for the chaos and beauty that follows. Borderland is an urgent gay love story, a cri de cœur against racial segregation. A challenge to liberal and traditional values alike. Suitable for ages 14+ “A provocative love story … filled with biting honesty.” Laura Longworth, Burnley Express
