The Convergence: Conversations for the Future

這週末我們歡飲自拍藝術家，BDSM 表演者盧小小為來賓。以她的身體為工具，小小近年來跨國把作品和演出帶到世界各地，包括日本與紐約。

我們會深入到關於生體的討論，例如看待身體為創作物體，和它在生與死中扮演的角色。

邀請大家來參與這份討論，12月13號台灣晚上6.30！到時間！

This weekend, we speak to Actor, Dancer and Writer, Mogali Masuku. Hailing from South Africa and a descendant of activists during Apartheid, Mogali has armed herself during her training and her career with an alchemic blend of legal prowess, unwavering faith and self-awareness.

Despite being a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company, she continues to develop her craft as an individual. Whether it is writing for The Othello Project or speaking openly about issues surrounding racial or gender discrimination, Mogali is the embodiment of a political actor.

In this episode of The Convergence, we dive into last week's can of worms and assess the safety of actors in training. What infrastructures currently exist to ensure the safety of those who wish to hone their craft? How do we consider existing infrastructures of accountability? Why are these questions even important?

This weekend, we speak to Luyanda Unati Lewis-Nyawo, a London-based actor and voiceover artist and one third of the Dungeons and Dragons podcast Three Black Halflings.

She has carved a diverse career for herself since leaving The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, premiering Danai Gurira's The Convert at the Young Vic; you can listen to her on BBC's Doctor Who spin-off The War Master: Hearts of Darkness, alongside Sir Derek Jacobi; she can also be heard voicing multiple characters in video games.

If that sounds like a lot, she is also, first and foremost a theatre practitioner in her own right, teaching at Guildford School of Acting, guiding young actors along the drama school path.

We will be talking about how she manages the life of a working actor, her own personal development, the drama school system and how those pieces fit together post-graduation.

We hope to see you at the event, so please like, share, RSVP and we will see you there!
