SUMMARY:Talk: The Art History of Howl’s Moving Castle with Helen McCarthy
DESCRIPTION:What do a Welsh children’s book\, the Iraq War\, and a master of Japanese animation have in common? They collide in Howl’s Moving Castle—the dazzling follow-up to Hayao Miyazaki’s Academy Award-winning Spirited Away. Though now beloved by audiences worldwide\, the film almost wasn’t Miyazaki’s. Originally intended for another director\, this spellbinding story only came under his care after global events reshaped its destiny. \nHowl’s Moving Castle\, like many other Ghibli films\, finds its roots in a European children’s book\, in this case Diana Wynne Jones’ 1986 book of the same name. It was an important book for the New Mythology movement\, which is defined by the emergence of a new heroic archetype that transcends old cultural concepts and confronts them with modern ideals. The central character\, Sophie Hatter\, with her courage and determination in the face of difficulty\, is an ideal New Mythology hero.  Sophie also fits neatly into the Miyazaki canon of brave\, capable female leads – with a unique and interesting twist. Miyazaki’s adaptation\, however\, adds his signature touch: a poignant anti-war message\, breathtaking artistry\, and one of Studio Ghibli’s rare adult romances. \nDiscover the twists\, turns\, and heart of Howl’s Moving Castle\, a film that redefined bravery and love for generations. \nHelen McCarthy is a writer and speaker on anime and manga. She’s been studying anime since 1981\, writing over a dozen books\, over a hundred articles and essays\, and giving talks all over the world. Her talk on the Art History of Studio Ghibli has wowed audiences all over the UK for Seed Talks. Exploring Howl’s Moving Castle dives deep into the studio’s inspirations with new ideas and information for even the most dedicated Ghibli fan\, but even a complete Ghibli beginner will enjoy this exploration of the film’s art\, story\, legacy and the people who made it.

SUMMARY:Comedy: FINLAY CHRISTIE
DESCRIPTION:Stand Up For The Weekend with Finlay Christie featuring Jenny Collier plus compere Meryl O’Rourke\nStand Up For The Weekend is our flagship weekly comedy show from The Comedy Box\, featuring top circuit headliners and guest acts plus incredibly funny and engaging comperes who host the show. A choice of table seats\, reserved row seats and unreserved row seats are available to book online.\n\nAt 19\, Finlay Christie became one of the youngest ever winners of the prestigious So You Think You’re Funny competition\, following in the footsteps of Peter Kay\, Lee Mack and Sarah Millican. 3 years later\, his debut Edinburgh show “OK Zoomer” was nominated for NextUp’s “Best Show” award and was released as a special in October 2023\, with over 365\,000 views. His material\, based around his experience as a Gen Z\, led Chortle to describe him as “the voice of his generation”.\n\nHis 2024 Fringe show “I Deserve This” received multiple 5 star reviews\, won the Entertainment Now “WoW” award and was nominated for the ISH “Best Show” award. The Guardian described it as “Comedy gold” and Edinburgh Festivals Magazine stated there was “Barely a single joke that wasn’t a fresh zinger.”\n\nSo what we are saying is\, if you want to see a future stand up star in the making you’d better come along before he moves up to the enormo-rooms!\n\n\n“Comedy gold… Pleasingly black-hearted wit.” The Guardian\n\n
