Where From Here Symposium Line Up
Where From Here: 21 Years of Third Angel
A one day Symposium hosted by Leeds Beckett University and Compass Live Art
Headingley Campus, Leeds
Thursday 17 November, 10am - 6.30pm (followed by drinks)
FREE - but advanced book advised: click here.
We are delighted to announce the line up for Where From Here, our 21st anniversary symposium.
The day's papers will reflect on the past, present and future of Third Angel, and explore the territory of work we have inhabited and influenced over the years, from making live art, durational performances and video art through to our theatre making practice and collaborations with other artists. It's also a chance celebrate Third Angel's longevity and place this into context in the current political, economic and artistic climate.
The programme for the day includes performances, short films, presentations and papers; it will be of interest to performance academics, teachers and students, plus audience members interested in finding out more about the work. We're thinking of it as something in between a symposium and a one-day festival. So we are very pleased that with the support of Leeds Beckett University's School of Film, Music and Performing Arts, the Symposium is free to attend.
The final line up is still being confirmed, but we are very pleased that Where From Here will feature contributions, presentations and performances from artists and academics including:
- Aletia M Badenhorst
- Oliver Bray
- Gillian Dyson
- Lucy Ellinson
- Christopher Hall
- Caroline Horton & Dr Jacqueline Taylor
- Andrew Jeffrey
- Alexander Kelly
- Gillian Jane Lees & Adam York Gregory
- Dr Hannah Nicklin
- Michael Pinchbeck & Linford Butler
- Henry Raby
- Jodean Sumner
- Dr Jocelyn Spence
- Kirsty Surgey
- Chris Thorpe
- Rachael Walton
Plus the premiere of The Small Celebrations, new video works by:
- Action Hero
- Hannah Butterfield
- Massive Owl
- RashDash
- Third Angel
Where From Here: 21 Years of Third Angel is convened by Oliver Bray, Alexander Kelly, Michael Pinchbeck and Hannah Nicklin. Compass Festival of Live Art runs 11-20 November 2016.

The Desire Paths in Sheffield
This weekend we will be out in Tudor
Square, in front of the Crucible Theatre, drawing a giant map of the city
centre renaming the streets of Sheffield.
As research for this, we’ve been reading
The Sheffield Street Names Study Guide* by Mary Walton. It’s a really engaging
tour of the city and the origins of its street names.
“Between the two roads ran several lanes, jennels, alleys and yards. A lane will admit some traffic; an alley has front doors in it; a jennel runs between the side walls of buildings; but a yard is a weird and wonderful thing.”
It’s full of great detail, from the
brilliant fact that Bridge Street used to be called simply Under-The-Water because it
used to flood a lot, to stuff you didn’t realise you were aware of until it’s
pointed out to you: “Gate means street and Bar means gate.” (You can download it here).
It also confirms something we do all know. City
centre streets were often named after a direction of travel (London Road),
after the builder’s or landowner families, to commemorate military victories, or
to indicate the activity or industry that they led to, what was made there. A
street was known for one activity.
Street names were instructions as to what
is made there, where they’ll take you, or they commemorate events from the
past. But who gets to choose what events, which people, are honoured in the
street names of a city?
Of course now the streets are busier,
cities throng with pedestrians, and all of those people in the streets carry
different hopes and dreams for their lives. Whilst there might not be as much manufacturing apparent in the streets of the city these days, there are plenty of new industries out there. And in
the hearts and minds that travel along those streets, we are making the future.
So on Saturday
that’s what we’re doing: commemorating the future. Renaming the streets of
Sheffield after the hopes, dreams and ambitions of the people who live in them.
We hope you can
come and join us.** And if you’re not in Sheffield follow our progress on Twitter and
Instagram at #DesirePaths.
