The invitations have been sent and there’s no going back… it’s Party Season! \nXander is back in town\, and this weekend he’s on parenting duty. The kids are in the ball pit; the Entertainer is blowing bubbles; the adults gobble Perelló olives and pretend to like each other. As ancient grudges rear their heads\, the tension rises like a helium balloon. Caught between who he was and who he’s supposed to be\, Xander must decide whether he’s going to grow up or just pass the parcel. \nFrom the multi-award-winning creators of Education\, Education\, Education and The Last of the Pelican Daughters comes a sugar-fuelled\, bobbin-winding fever dream where class identities collide\, social niceties unravel\, and underslept parents do their best to hold it all together. \nParty Season is a razor-sharp new comedy about privilege\, party rings and the pressures of being a parent. RSVP! \n\n\n\n\nParty Season\n28 April 2026 – 7:30 pm\n29 April 2026 – 7:30 pm\n30 April 2026 – 7:30 pm\n1 May 2026 – 7:30 pm\nTicketsStandard: £18\nPay More: £22\nPay Less: £14 \nLinksThe Wardrobe Ensemble

SUMMARY:Ballet Black at 25
DESCRIPTION:From £15* \n\nAge\n7+\nInterval\nYes\nVenue\nOxford Playhouse\n\n\nCassa Pancho‘s Ballet Black celebrates its 25th anniversary with a much-anticipated return to Oxford Playhouse. \nThis landmark double bill features Ingoma (2019)\, the choreographic debut of former Company dancer\, Mthuthuzeli November. Inspired by the 1946 South African miners’ strike – a precursor to the anti-apartheid movement – Ingoma captures the suffering and resilience of Black miners and their communities\, bringing rarely told stories to the ballet stage. The work won both the 2020 Olivier Award and the Black British Theatre Award for Best Dance Production and now makes its Oxford premiere. \nAlongside it comes a joyful new commission from Alvin Ailey royalty Hope Boykin\, a two-time Bessie Award winner\, making her UK choreographic debut. Boykin\, who says “I make work and create environments from personal and lived experiences”\, creates a celebratory piece especially for Ballet Black‘s 25th year – a vibrant tribute to the company’s journey and a bold look towards its future. \nAudiences can expect Ballet Black‘s signature blend of powerful storytelling\, striking choreography and rich global influences\, in a programme that honours the past while celebrating the future. For 25 years\, Ballet Black has transformed the landscape of British ballet – creating vital opportunities for dancers and artists of Black and Asian descent\, while building a repertoire that resonates with audiences around the world. \n\n\n\n0 Stars \n Ballet Black consistently brings new and exciting work to Oxford Playhouse\nOxford Dance Writers

SUMMARY:Elinor Cleghorn A WOMAN'S WORK
DESCRIPTION:A Woman’s Work is a radical and inspiring new history of mothering\, and a timely reminder that the fight for reproductive freedom isn’t over \n\n\n\n\nA Woman’s Work \nMothers make history. For centuries\, motherhood has sparked social and political change. Yet the acts of growing\, birthing and nurturing children – and the power they hold – have been pushed to the margins\, overlooked in our narratives of the past. \nIn A Woman’s Work\, Elinor Cleghorn reveals the mothers\, othermothers\, midwives\, activists\, and community leaders who have shaped this extraordinary history. They include Hildegard of Bingen\, the medieval nun and mystic with pioneering views about the maternal body; Mary Wollstonecraft\, who laid the intellectual groundwork to release motherhood from male control; and Sojourner Truth\, who drew attention to the abhorrent treatment of mothers under chattel slavery. \nBeginning in the ancient world\, we learn how in each era\, the patriarchy constructed its own idealised notion of motherhood – from the misogynistic dogma of the early church and the stigmatisation of single mothers in 17th century England all the way through to the post-war myth of the perfectly contented housewife. But we also learn how mothers of all classes and circumstances fought back\, and lobbied to be valued\, respected and supported – not as reproductive vessels\, but as people. \nElinor Cleghorn \nDr Elinor Cleghorn has a background in feminist visual culture and history\, and her critical writing has been published in several academic journals including Screen. After receiving her PhD in 2012\, Elinor spent three years as a post-doctoral researcher at the Ruskin School\, University of Oxford\, working on an interdisciplinary medical humanities project. She has given talks and lectures at the British Film Institute\, where she has been a regular contributor to their education programme\, Tate Modern\, and ICA London\, and she has appeared on the BBC Radio 4 discussion show The Forum. In 2017\, she was shortlisted for the Fitzcarraldo Editions essay prize. She now works as a freelance writer and researcher. Her non-fiction debut\, Unwell Women\, was published in June 2021.

SUMMARY:Brokenness and repair exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Venue:\n\nThe Glass Tank\, Oxford Brookes University\n\n\n\nDate(s):\n\nMonday\, 26 January 2026 to Friday\, 6 February 2026\n\n\n\nTiming:\n\n9am – 5pm\n\n\n\nCost:\n\n0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInspired by the sublime beauty of techniques of visual repair across cultures\, these works invite reflection on brokenness and why it matters. \nIn recent years\, the traditional Japanese technique of repairing broken pottery using lacquer\, often embellished with gold or other precious metals\, known as ‘kintsugi’ has fascinated and inspired not only contemporary artists\, but also pscyhologists\, philosophers\, scientists and archaeologists. But the idea of caring for something that is broken and finding beauty in its imperfection resonates much more widely. Whether we are living with the painful yet precious memories of loss\, or trying to reassemble places of belonging from the remnants of abandoned buildings\, brokenness and repair speak to our fundamental ways of being in the world. \nThrough sculpture\, sound\, images\, and pottery\, this exhibition creates a space of dialogue between Japanese aesthetics of brokenness and repair and those of other cultures. Each piece invites visitors to reflect on the complex\, sometimes challenging beauty of brokenness\, and the care and attention involved in repair. \nThe exhibition includes original works from Rob Simpkins\, Katie Taylor\, Johanna Tulloch\, Dan O’Brien\, Natasha Durie\, Juliet Eccles\, and Rachel Barbaresi\, as well as kintsugi pieces by Iku Nishikawa (Oxford Kintsugi). \nAll are invited to join us to meet the artists and organisers over wine and refreshments. \nThis exhibition and reception was made possible through the generous support of the Great Britain Sasakawa Foundation. \n\n\n\n\nFurther Information\n\nContact Details:\n\n\nhttps://www.brookes.ac.uk/about-brookes/…\nhttps://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/brokennes… \ndobrien@brookes.ac.uk

SUMMARY:Pets & their People
DESCRIPTION:  11 March – 27 September 2026 \n ST Lee Gallery\, Weston Library \n Free admission\, no ticket required \nAbout the exhibition\nWe have been domesticating animals for over ten thousand years. But why do we want tame wolves in our homes or wild cats on our laps? \nThis exhibition explores the relationship between humans and their pets – or pets and their humans. \nPets & their People draws on depictions of pets in stories\, imagery and poetry in the Bodleian’s collection – from one of the earliest recorded depictions of an assistance dog for the blind to a rare copy of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland that has never been displayed in the UK before. The exhibition asks how the special bond between owners and their pets has evolved over time\, and what that evolution tells us about who we really are. \nAre we taming our pets\, or are they bring us back to our wild roots? \nCurators\nCharles Foster\, Fellow of Exeter College and bestselling author of Being a Beast \nAcknowledgements\nPets & their People is made possible with generous support from the John S Cohen Foundation.

SUMMARY:Brokenness and repair exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Venue:\n\nThe Glass Tank\, Oxford Brookes University\n\n\n\nDate(s):\n\nMonday\, 26 January 2026 to Friday\, 6 February 2026\n\n\n\nTiming:\n\n9am – 5pm\n\n\n\nCost:\n\n0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInspired by the sublime beauty of techniques of visual repair across cultures\, these works invite reflection on brokenness and why it matters. \nIn recent years\, the traditional Japanese technique of repairing broken pottery using lacquer\, often embellished with gold or other precious metals\, known as ‘kintsugi’ has fascinated and inspired not only contemporary artists\, but also pscyhologists\, philosophers\, scientists and archaeologists. But the idea of caring for something that is broken and finding beauty in its imperfection resonates much more widely. Whether we are living with the painful yet precious memories of loss\, or trying to reassemble places of belonging from the remnants of abandoned buildings\, brokenness and repair speak to our fundamental ways of being in the world. \nThrough sculpture\, sound\, images\, and pottery\, this exhibition creates a space of dialogue between Japanese aesthetics of brokenness and repair and those of other cultures. Each piece invites visitors to reflect on the complex\, sometimes challenging beauty of brokenness\, and the care and attention involved in repair. \nThe exhibition includes original works from Rob Simpkins\, Katie Taylor\, Johanna Tulloch\, Dan O’Brien\, Natasha Durie\, Juliet Eccles\, and Rachel Barbaresi\, as well as kintsugi pieces by Iku Nishikawa (Oxford Kintsugi). \nAll are invited to join us to meet the artists and organisers over wine and refreshments. \nThis exhibition and reception was made possible through the generous support of the Great Britain Sasakawa Foundation. \n\n\n\n\nFurther Information\n\nContact Details:\n\n\nhttps://www.brookes.ac.uk/about-brookes/…\nhttps://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/brokennes… \ndobrien@brookes.ac.uk

SUMMARY:Pets & their People
DESCRIPTION:  11 March – 27 September 2026 \n ST Lee Gallery\, Weston Library \n Free admission\, no ticket required \nAbout the exhibition\nWe have been domesticating animals for over ten thousand years. But why do we want tame wolves in our homes or wild cats on our laps? \nThis exhibition explores the relationship between humans and their pets – or pets and their humans. \nPets & their People draws on depictions of pets in stories\, imagery and poetry in the Bodleian’s collection – from one of the earliest recorded depictions of an assistance dog for the blind to a rare copy of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland that has never been displayed in the UK before. The exhibition asks how the special bond between owners and their pets has evolved over time\, and what that evolution tells us about who we really are. \nAre we taming our pets\, or are they bring us back to our wild roots? \nCurators\nCharles Foster\, Fellow of Exeter College and bestselling author of Being a Beast \nAcknowledgements\nPets & their People is made possible with generous support from the John S Cohen Foundation.

SUMMARY:Party Season
DESCRIPTION:A Wardrobe Ensemble\, Royal & Derngate\, Northampton & Lowry Co-Production \nThree parties. One weekend. The invitations have been sent and there’s no going back… it’s Party Season! \nXander is back in town\, and this weekend he’s on parenting duty. The kids are in the ball pit; the Entertainer is blowing bubbles; the adults gobble Perelló olives and pretend to like each other. As ancient grudges rear their heads\, the tension rises like a helium balloon. Caught between who he was and who he’s supposed to be\, Xander must decide whether he’s going to grow up or just pass the parcel. \nFrom the multi-award-winning creators of Education\, Education\, Education and The Last of the Pelican Daughters comes a sugar-fuelled\, bobbin-winding fever dream where class identities collide\, social niceties unravel\, and underslept parents do their best to hold it all together. \nParty Season is a razor-sharp new comedy about privilege\, party rings and the pressures of being a parent. RSVP! \n\n\n\n\nParty Season\n28 April 2026 – 7:30 pm\n29 April 2026 – 7:30 pm\n30 April 2026 – 7:30 pm\n1 May 2026 – 7:30 pm\nTicketsStandard: £18\nPay More: £22\nPay Less: £14 \nLinksThe Wardrobe Ensemble

SUMMARY:Ivo Graham: Orange Crush
DESCRIPTION:Tickets £19.69*\n\n Graham in glorious technicolour\nThe Guardian \n\n \nWhat is the best orange thing in the world? Aperol spritz? Sunsets? Claudia Winkleman? You probably never stopped to think about what your favourite orange thing was\, but you’re damn sure thinking about it now. Maybe it’s marmalade\, or maybe it’s Garfield\, or maybe it’s the album Channel Orange by Frank Ocean. There’s just so many to consider. And no one on earth has considered more of them than Ivo Graham. \nIvo Graham has always been a fan of orange things. Baked beans. Sriracha mayo. The Tiger Who Came To Tea. But in 2025\, a series of emotional days in his favourite colour prompted Ivo to commit harder than ever to the bit: colour-coordinating his life for his daughter\, for his mother\, for his football team\, and\, he desperately hopes\, for your entertainment. Come and help this orange lunatic make his orange list\, in a show about hats\, haters\, hometown heroes\, and whether Hare Krishnas are better than Hobnobs. \n\n \n\n0 Stars \n Few stand-ups can waffle so winningly\nThe Telegraph \n\nDuration\n1hr 50mins\nInterval\nYes\nVenue\nOxford Playhouse

SUMMARY:Justyna Zańko Violin Recital
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nInternationally celebrated Polish violinist Justyna Zanko returns.\n\n\n\nFollowing her acclaimed Oxford debut earlier this year\, internationally celebrated Polish violinist Justyna Zańko returns to perform an evening of exceptional artistry. \nRenowned for her virtuosic technique\, refined musical sensitivity\, and bold interpretive character\, Zańko presents a program that traverses the expressive spectrum of the solo violin repertoire – from the intricate Passacaglia of Heinrich Ignaz Franz von Biber to the brilliant Caprices of Niccolò Paganini and Henryk Wieniawski. \nCritics have praised her performances for their “immense variety and contrast\,” highlighting the fluidity with which she moves between introspective lyricism and virtuosic brilliance. \nThis recital promises a rare and memorable musical experience for all who appreciate classical music. \nWe look forward to welcoming you on Friday\, 29th May at 6 p.mat St Mary & St John’s Church. \nSuggested donations: £10(including tea and cake)In support of the church tower restoration. \n… \n“Polish violinist Justyna Zańko is an internationally recognized soloist and chamber musician whose artistry is defined by luminous tone\, technical finesse\, and a rare interpretive sensitivity. Represented by Eva Artistic Management\, she performs across Europe and the United States as both a celebrated performer and a visionary cultural builder. \nHer career has taken her to some of the world’s most prestigious stages\, including Carnegie Hallin New York\, the Elgar Room at London’s Royal Albert Hall in London\, Beethoven House in Bonn\, the Mozarteum in Salzburg\, Palais de Monaco in Paris\, the Malta Society of Arts\, and Green Room Teatru Rjal in Valletta. She is a laureate of multiple international competitions\, including first prizes at the Golden Classical Music Awards\, Grand Prize Virtuoso\, and the Bach International Music Competition. \nA sought-after guest at international festivals\, she has appeared at the Wieniawski Brothers International Festival\, the Andrzej Nikodemowicz International Festival “Time and Sound\,” Virtuosi Violin Festival (UK)\, TEDx Lublin\, and the Victoria International Arts Festival in Malta. Her performances are noted for their refinement\, expressive depth\, and delicacy — hallmarks of her distinctive artistic identity. \nA graduate of the Fryderyk Chopin University of Music in Warsaw and the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire in the UK\, Justyna refined her craft under legendary violinists including Rimma Sushanskaya — the last student of David Oistrakh — as well as Igor Oistrakh\, Zakhar Bron\, Yair Kless\, Anthony Marwood\, Roman Lasocki\, and Tadeusz Gadzina. \nAlongside her concert career\, Justyna is the Artistic Director of VirtuClassic and President of the Virtuoso Music Foundation\, where she champions music education\, interdisciplinary collaboration\, and cultural accessibility. Her leadership has resulted in several original artistic initiatives\, including the International VirtuClassic Festival\, the VirtuClassic International Music Competition\, and the concert series Classics in the Crown (Klasyka w Koronie). \nAmong her signature projects is Intimate Violin Sessions\, an international performance concept she created to bring classical music back to its most essential purpose: a direct\, personal encounter between artist and listener. Presented in elegant\, atmospheric spaces across Europe — and in online editions reaching audiences throughout the Americas — the series blends high artistic standards with modern sensitivity. Each edition allows listeners to experience masterworks from Bach\, Biber\, Paganini\, Wieniawski\, and Saint-Saëns at close range\, transforming the traditional recital into an immersive\, conversational journey through sound. \nDeeply committed to the next generation\, she supports young musicians through her foundation’s programs and has developed her own method for enhancing concentration and artistic preparation. \nElegant\, expressive\, and continually expanding her international presence\, Justyna Zańko stands as both a captivating violinist and a creator of meaningful musical experiences that bring listeners closer to the heart of classical music.“

SUMMARY:Brokenness and repair exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Venue:\n\nThe Glass Tank\, Oxford Brookes University\n\n\n\nDate(s):\n\nMonday\, 26 January 2026 to Friday\, 6 February 2026\n\n\n\nTiming:\n\n9am – 5pm\n\n\n\nCost:\n\n0\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInspired by the sublime beauty of techniques of visual repair across cultures\, these works invite reflection on brokenness and why it matters. \nIn recent years\, the traditional Japanese technique of repairing broken pottery using lacquer\, often embellished with gold or other precious metals\, known as ‘kintsugi’ has fascinated and inspired not only contemporary artists\, but also pscyhologists\, philosophers\, scientists and archaeologists. But the idea of caring for something that is broken and finding beauty in its imperfection resonates much more widely. Whether we are living with the painful yet precious memories of loss\, or trying to reassemble places of belonging from the remnants of abandoned buildings\, brokenness and repair speak to our fundamental ways of being in the world. \nThrough sculpture\, sound\, images\, and pottery\, this exhibition creates a space of dialogue between Japanese aesthetics of brokenness and repair and those of other cultures. Each piece invites visitors to reflect on the complex\, sometimes challenging beauty of brokenness\, and the care and attention involved in repair. \nThe exhibition includes original works from Rob Simpkins\, Katie Taylor\, Johanna Tulloch\, Dan O’Brien\, Natasha Durie\, Juliet Eccles\, and Rachel Barbaresi\, as well as kintsugi pieces by Iku Nishikawa (Oxford Kintsugi). \nAll are invited to join us to meet the artists and organisers over wine and refreshments. \nThis exhibition and reception was made possible through the generous support of the Great Britain Sasakawa Foundation. \n\n\n\n\nFurther Information\n\nContact Details:\n\n\nhttps://www.brookes.ac.uk/about-brookes/…\nhttps://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/brokennes… \ndobrien@brookes.ac.uk

SUMMARY:Pets & their People
DESCRIPTION:  11 March – 27 September 2026 \n ST Lee Gallery\, Weston Library \n Free admission\, no ticket required \nAbout the exhibition\nWe have been domesticating animals for over ten thousand years. But why do we want tame wolves in our homes or wild cats on our laps? \nThis exhibition explores the relationship between humans and their pets – or pets and their humans. \nPets & their People draws on depictions of pets in stories\, imagery and poetry in the Bodleian’s collection – from one of the earliest recorded depictions of an assistance dog for the blind to a rare copy of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland that has never been displayed in the UK before. The exhibition asks how the special bond between owners and their pets has evolved over time\, and what that evolution tells us about who we really are. \nAre we taming our pets\, or are they bring us back to our wild roots? \nCurators\nCharles Foster\, Fellow of Exeter College and bestselling author of Being a Beast \nAcknowledgements\nPets & their People is made possible with generous support from the John S Cohen Foundation.

SUMMARY:Party Season
DESCRIPTION:A Wardrobe Ensemble\, Royal & Derngate\, Northampton & Lowry Co-Production \nThree parties. One weekend. The invitations have been sent and there’s no going back… it’s Party Season! \nXander is back in town\, and this weekend he’s on parenting duty. The kids are in the ball pit; the Entertainer is blowing bubbles; the adults gobble Perelló olives and pretend to like each other. As ancient grudges rear their heads\, the tension rises like a helium balloon. Caught between who he was and who he’s supposed to be\, Xander must decide whether he’s going to grow up or just pass the parcel. \nFrom the multi-award-winning creators of Education\, Education\, Education and The Last of the Pelican Daughters comes a sugar-fuelled\, bobbin-winding fever dream where class identities collide\, social niceties unravel\, and underslept parents do their best to hold it all together. \nParty Season is a razor-sharp new comedy about privilege\, party rings and the pressures of being a parent. RSVP! \n\n\n\n\nParty Season\n28 April 2026 – 7:30 pm\n29 April 2026 – 7:30 pm\n30 April 2026 – 7:30 pm\n1 May 2026 – 7:30 pm\nTicketsStandard: £18\nPay More: £22\nPay Less: £14 \nLinksThe Wardrobe Ensemble
