SUMMARY:Deaf Education & Audiology: A Journey through Artefacts\, Archives and Creativity
DESCRIPTION:The histories and lived experiences of deafness are rich and complex. Extraordinary technological advances have been made in the exploration of hearing\, alongside a better appreciation of the social and psychological impact of sensory perception on learning. The materials displayed offer an insight into the varied historical and contemporary approaches in deaf education and audiology\, from a range of perspectives. The exhibition also provokes questions around how we understand\, collect and communicate D/deafness in a dominant hearing world. The exhibition is part of the 100 year anniversary celebrations of Deaf Education and Audiology at The University of Manchester. \nCurated by Dr Jenna C. Ashton \nLecture and Programme Director of Heritage Studies\, The University of Manchester \nFree – please drop in \n  \n[image – Complexities of Lived Experience (2019)\, by Lawiza Tahir]

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:Scrooged – Christmas Film
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the Grimmfest annual Christmas movie gathering. This year’s choice is an eighties classic\, which pays off-kilter homage to tradition – Richard Donner’s cult classic\, Scrooged. It sees Dickens’ tale of miserliness and redemption relocated to 80s New York\, and Ebeneezer Scrooge magnificently re-imagined in the form of Bill Murray’s hard-nosed TV executive\, Frank Cross. \nWith a suitably scabrous and cynical screenplay by notorious Saturday Night Live and National Lampoon scribe\, Michael Donoghue and Dickens buff\, Mitch Glazer\, who would later go on to adapt Great Expectations for Alfonso Cuaron\, and boasting an all-star cast of cult luminaries\, including Robert Mitchum\, Carol Kane\, Karen Allen\, Bobcat Goldthwaite\, Michael J. Pollard\, John Glover\, and New York Dolls frontman David Johansen\, it’s a brash and black-hearted take on a heart-warming tale. \nPick up a free mince pie on arrival\, and make sure you check out the Grimmfest stall\, for discounted stocking fillers including DVDs\, movie posters and t-shirts – fantastic gifts for the horror movie fan in your life! \nDoors open: 5.30pm\nCertificate PG
