Glam Role Model

A dude who is fast becoming a recognisable face on British TV with appearances on Live At The Apollo, Mock The Week, QI, Never Mind the Buzzcocks, 8 Out of 10 Cats and more, Katherine Ryan embarks on her second UK stand up tour. The fresh, often dangerously fierce, pop culture-obsessed Canadian was unaffected by publicised death threats and survived the world's first crack-smoking mayor.

Home:Life An intriguing installation with live performance: political, imaginative social commentary and personal explorations investigating Home and all that might, or might not, encompass - the challenges of navigating a system that can help but also hinder. What constitutes power and who should have it? Does everyone deserve a second chance? How do we manage our emotions and what does it take to reach from negative to positive thought and intention, especially when it feels like the world is judging?

Created and performed by young people, show is for adults and young people aged 13+ This show is happening at the end of July. Check our website for updates and more details… and also to see the Miss Represented short film offering a unique insight into this transformative and ground-breaking project. brightondome.org/missrep © Lauren Joy Kennett

Who’s Afraid of the Human Rights Act?

European Aerial Dance Festival Gravity & Levity, in association with South East Dance and Brighton Dome & Brighton Festival, is delighted to be hosting the EADF for the 6th year. As well as some of the more familiar classes for participants to develop their aerial skills, there will be a whole host of extra classes and weekend treats this year too. Bookings available through eventbrite.com.

Mon 10 – Sun 16 Aug Corn Exchange

Hailed as an Act to ‘bring rights home’, the UK Human Rights Act was passed in 1998 with cross-party support. It has come under attack from successive governments and the media, blamed for a wide variety of ills: from exploitation by convicted criminals to unbalancing the constitution.

We explore why some critics deem it ‘insufficiently British’, ask what a proposed Conservative British Bill of Rights would look like, and consider what it would mean to lose the Human Rights Act all together.

Panel Includes: Dr Michael PintoDuschinsky, Professor John Dearlove, Dr Caroline Skeet and Paul Bowen QC.
