APHASIADISIAC event festival
les ballets C de la B
Aphasiadisiac
corn exchange MAY 6th /7th 8pm
Choreographed by Ted Stoffer
Aphasia - the inability to express or understand thought in spoken or written words.Aphrodisiac - arousing the mood of sexual excitement. - the tongue-tied inarticulacy of love.
Aphasiadisiac..
Devised by choreographer and brilliant former Rambert dancer Ted Stoffer, les ballets C de la B's second Festival performance lifts the lid on the politics and private languages of love. Its impetus is our inability to express its complex and contradictory emotions. Using words, movement, music and physical props Stoffer's quintet of dancers and performers explores this universal experience to a live soundscape composed and performed by the cast itself. In a series of compelling vignettes, they encounter love's less exalted tropes - the illusions, the misconceptions, the denials, the disappointments - yet also the jubilation of true romance.Aphasiadisiac is the slap in the face of love - the stupid, ironic, dangerous things that make it an unfathomable fairytale for grown-ups.

Bad Science with Ben Goldacre
Bad Science with Ben Goldacre
I went to this on Saturday 28th Feb -- very good
Ben Goldacre is a writer, broadcaster and medical doctor from the UK who writes the hard hitting 'Bad Science' column for The Guardian newspaper. This talk exposed the claims of scaremongering journalists, highlight quack health products, get behind the facade of pseudoscientific cosmetics adverts, and laid bare the evil of multinational pharmaceutical corporations, as well as focusing on wider themes such as the medicalisation of everyday life and the psychology of irrational beliefs.
It also promoted his book -- when I got it to sign it, he wrote "pass this on someone who really needs it" or , in fact, "give this book to someone who disagrees with you."
