A Positive Life - AutinDT (live performance) We are working towards a 3-year project including creative workshops with Young People, consultations, research and the creation of an immersive and interactive dance theatre experience, A Positive Life, based on the interpersonal stories of 5 characters around sexual health, self-love, sex education. This first R&D period took place from April to October 2016 and marked the first stage of a larger and ambitious project on a national scale. We are keen to present the live performance of ‘A Positive Life’ alongside a series of creative workshops/dialogues around the themes of gender, sexuality and sexual health through the medium of contemporary dance, physical theatre and spoken word. The work is adaptable to non-traditional performance spaces and we are particularly interested in collaborating with secondary schools, colleges, youth and arts centres as well as organisations from the health and social sectors. Available for touring from February 2017. During this first R&D period Creative Director, Johnny Autin has been working alongside 5 performers (dancers, actors, spoken word artist/poet) and a vast Creative Team to create a work in progress, an interactive live performance of 1 hour long and aimed at young people aged 14 – 24 years old. www.autindt.com

An introduction to PKU

Filmed by Tom Chimiak and Stephani Steventon at one of Birmingham's art spaces, 'The Edge'.

Cuts of the Cloth Writer and Performer: Hafsah Aneela Bashir Co-creator & Director: Nikki Mailer ‘An exhibit for the people.’ A Muslim woman has been archived in a museum in the not-too-distant future, to speak to visitors about her relationship with the cloth. What happens to her in a society obsessed with policing the female body, amidst the rise of Islamophobia, UK state violence, and the Prevent counter-terrorism strategy? Evoking the dystopian feel of A Handmaid’s Tale and George Orwell’s 1984, Cuts of the Cloth is a disturbing portrayal of a Muslim woman caught in the net of the ‘war on terror’. Cuts of the Cloth is a new piece of work commissioned by HOME especially for Push Festival 2019. Funded by Future’s Venture. “There’s a lot here… Captures the dystopian mood of the moment.” – The Guardian “A politically-charged, passionate, and topical performance… [Hafsah Aneela] Bashir’s honesty, boldness, and passion in her performance was just beautiful.” – Reviewer Number 9 ★★★★ “There is a lot resting on the shoulders of one performer, but [Hafsah Aneela] Bashir maintains everyone’s attention throughout… It would be worth a larger team developing Cuts of the Cloth, and it would be worth it because this was some incredibly important work from Bashir and very smart commissioning from HOME for Push Festival 2019.” – North West End “A profoundly powerful, thought-provoking piece about the rise, and possible consequences, of Islamophobia… In the times we live in, its important message cannot be understated.” – The Play’s The Thing “Hafsah Bashir is a star in the making, her poetic delivery at times is utterly captivating… Blooming brilliant.” – Caught in the Act “It’s a small show but it holds itself with a confident heft of its own… Its polemic is potent.” – Exeunt Want to know more about Outside The Frame Arts?
