SUMMARY:Tom Moore & Archie Moss
DESCRIPTION:Accordion/Viola/Electronics duo debuting brand new material from their upcoming album to be released in 2020. \nWidely regarded as two of the best players\, innovators and performers in traditional folk amongst a precociously gifted generation\, their finely-crafted arrangements wield a rare potency. Now\, having toured with with some of the biggest and brightest acts in the British folk scene\, they reconvene to perform as a duo. \nWhilst intrinsically borrowing from English and other European Traditional Dance music\, sonically Moore and Moss have their heads firmly in the present\, understanding the values of contemporary music and art making.The distinct pulse\, energy and group-intuition of trad-music haunts their playing as they continue to push the creative boundaries for English instrumental music\, listening and responding to the world around them as much as their musical ancestors. \nDoors: 6pm; Performance start: 6:30pm

SUMMARY:Capturing the Crescents
DESCRIPTION:A Photographic Journey through Hulme in the 1980’s – 90’s\, and how I survived and thrived by Richard Davis \nA talk and book signing by photographer Richard Davis…. \n‘I arrived in Hulme in 1988\, having left behind Birmingham so I could study Photography at Manchester Polytechnic. For the next five years Hulme was Home and I loved every single second of it. Talk about Right Place\, Right Time\, –  Manchester\, or should I say Madchester\, felt like the centre of the universe and Hulme even more so. There wasn’t really a plan to document my time there via Photography\, it just sort of naturally happened and years on\, I’m so glad I did…….this is my story.’ \nFree – please drop in \n

SUMMARY:2084 - An Immersive Experience
DESCRIPTION:SORRY\, DUE TO HIGH DEMAND ALL PERFORMANCES HAVE NOW SOLD OUT \nAN IMMERSIVE PERFORMANCE INSPIRED BY ORWELL’S CLASSIC \nThe Ministry of Truth is recruiting… \n​Enter the dramatic world of Manchester Central Library after hours and embark on an immersive journey inspired by George Orwell’s dystopian novel. \nThis new immersive theatre production takes the audience inside a totalitarian state that monitors every act\, word and thought of its citizens. In our era of social media and digital corporations – when everyone is tracked\, analysed and influenced – Orwell’s compelling vision has never been more pertinent. 2084 puts the audience at the heart of this iconic story and explores how fragile are the freedoms that we take for granted. \nWelcome to the Party. \nREVIEWS OF PREVIOUS 2084 PERFORMANCES \n​”With major dystopian vibes and a brilliant new story\, explore Manchester’s Central Library in a way never before experienced.” Whatsonstage \n​”The company has fused the imposing physicality of Manchester’s Central Library with the appalling horror of George Orwell’s dystopian nightmare to create a thrilling piece of theatrical entertainment.” GM Reviewer \n“Disturbing and engrossing” Number 9 Reviews

SUMMARY:Prostheses in Antiquity: Everything You Never Knew You Wanted to Know
DESCRIPTION:A variety of different types of prostheses were used by the Greeks and Romans to replace various missing body parts. In this talk\, we shall consider the following questions: How common – or uncommon – were prostheses in classical antiquity? Who made them? How and why did they make them? Who used them? How and why did they use them? And how were they – and their prostheses – viewed by other members of ancient society as a result? \nThe Manchester Classical Association presents Dr Jane Draycott (University of Glasgow)\, expert on disease\, disabilties and prosthetics in the ancient world. Dr Draycott will give an illustrated presentation followed by discussion with the Manchester Classical Association Chair\, Dr April Pudsey of Manchester Metropolitan University. \nAll talks in this series are free and open to the public. Please join us for light refreshments from 5.30pm\, and take the opportunity to speak with members of the Manchester Classical Association\, and find out more about our work promoting Classics and Ancient History around the region. https://www.manchesterca.org.uk/ \nThis talk will be jointly hosted with the Society for the Promotion of Roman Studies. \nRefreshments from 5.30pm. Dr Draycott’s talk begins at 6pm and will be followed by discussion\, and an informal Q&A with the audience
