RIGHTS, RISKS AND REPUTATIONS – CHALLENGING A RISK AVERSE CULTURE
30th September 10:00 – 13:00
FREE
Are you interested in tackling a risk averse culture?
We are delighted to offer a Workshop at CentrE17 as newly born Rights, Risks and Reputations Ambassadors! We, that is Tanja Erhart – Austrian independent disabled artist and scientist – and Sarah Blanc, Irish performer, choreographer and TV presenter – want to invite artists and people within the Arts Sector to come together in an open and honest discussions, to voice challenges, fears and experiences relating to creative and reputational risk and to share stories of what can be sensitive and difficult topics around censorship, freedom of expression and safe risk taking. What does risk mean? What are the challenges we face? Can we support each other to take risk? We believe coming closer is important in order to be risky and to be risky is important in order to come closer. So let’s meet, talk, risk and move!
The event is free.
Tea, coffee and biscuits will be provided.
If you have any further questions, need any assistance and want to sign-up for the Workshop, please contact us via this email address: tanja.erhart@gmx.at and you will get a confirmation email sent back to you

Reviews
“Disciplined, succinct, and effective. Documentarian Dieudo Hamadi follows the work of a senior Congolese policewoman in charge of stopping sexual violence and physical abuse against women and children” —The Hollywood Reporter
“A blistering portrait of a society that takes all their hardships out on its innocent and vulnerable children… Powerful”— In the Seats
“Hamadi’s style of documentation lets people speak for themselves, while his framing allows for sensitive issues such as memory, solidarity, conflict, and government neglect to come to the fore” – George Kibala Bauer

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE MCDONALD?
25th October 20:00
£7
Direct from successfully bribing the Edinburgh Fringe for a 4**** review, the show celebrating a 20-year obsession with Wakefield’s number one export, the legendary JANE MCDONALD, makes a return voyage to Walthamstow this October.
Welcome back to the Walthamstow chapter of the self-help group ‘Jane McDonald Anonymous’. Place yourself in the very experienced hands of Grant McLachlan, the newly-elected leader of an elite group of Jane superfans called the ‘Cruisettes’ and allow him to steer you through your 8-step journey, from admitting to celebrating your obsession with everything that is Jane McDonald.
Grant devised the show after he was filmed at his school for the Channel 5 show ‘Jane & Friends’. Thanks to her recent award-winning ‘Cruising with Jane McDonald’ series, she is at the top of her career, so this show will speak to anyone who feels that they need a bit of showtune sparkle, camp banter and Jane McDonald in their lives – and frankly, who doesn’t?
“I mean, I’ve been cruising many, many times, but this is the biggest thing I’ve ever seen” Jane McDonald, 2017.
“There’s so much to commend about this debut, and it will be exciting to see what McLachlan will offer as he grows in confidence as a performer.” The Wee Review
