SUMMARY:Talk: Vampires & the Human Psyche
DESCRIPTION:Discover the fascinating connections between vampires and the human mind\, from Dracula to Buffy the Vampire Slayer. With Q&A. \n\nWhy are we so drawn to vampires? What do they reveal about us? \nLong before Hollywood\, vampires started with folklore\, born out of fear and superstition. Over the centuries\, these figures have evolved into a key element of pop culture and left a lasting mark on our collective consciousness. From Dracula and Nosferatu to Lost Boys and our beloved Buffy the Vampire Slayer\, this talk will explore these enduring symbols and their connections to the human psyche. \nJoin Katie Evans in exploring why we both fear and love vampires\, and how their stories resonate with us on a personal level. Through psychoanalysis\, forensic psychology and the lens of gender and sexuality\, we will dig deep into vampiric legend. From Freud and Jung to modern ideas of narcissism\, we will explore how these blood-sucking figures represent otherness\, internal struggles and the complexities that many of us face as humans. \nSpeaker Bio: \nKatie Evans is a BACP-accredited therapist and self-confessed horror nerd. Her passion for all things spooky began in childhood and continued through her studies in music\, film\, and media at Liverpool University\, before moving into the field of mental health. She holds advanced accreditation in GSRD Therapy (Gender\, Sexuality\, and Relationship Diversity). In addition\, Katie has presented at conferences across Europe and has spoken for organisations including The Maudsley\, the British Psychological Society\, The NHS\, LGBT Foundation\, and HMPPS\, among others. She is also a registered guest lecturer at Liverpool John Moores University. An advocate for using pop culture in psychotherapy\, Katie previously hosted The Mental Health Monsters Podcast and continues to explore how fictional narratives – especially those from the horror genre – can help us better understand ourselves. \n\n\n

SUMMARY:Comedy: Ian Stone - IAN STONE IS LOOKING FOR THE WOW
DESCRIPTION:“Life can’t just be the humdrum\, the mundane and the routine before the inevitable slide to disease\, decay and death. Why can’t we sneak in a bit of awesome\, a tad of amazing and maybe a smidge of wonderful? A forest canopy opening onto a huge vista would be enchanting for some but my ancestors wandered in the desert for forty years\, I think we’ve been outdoors enough. Others get their fix from the spiritual but I’ve been harbouring a grudge against God since my mother stopped me going to Arsenal after my Barmitzvah. Forty nine years ago. ’God will be watching’ she said. Well\, at least he got to see the game. The point is\, life could be so much better so I’m on the lookout. Come and join me on the hunt.”\n\nIan Stone is a “A masterful exponent of self-mocking Jewish humour” according to The Times\, he’s been ranked “one of the top ten comedians in the UK” by the The Independent and The Guardian said that he’s “Seriously funny”. His show at the 2023 Edinburgh fringe ‘Ian Stone will Make it Better’\, played to packed houses and won a Spirit of The Fringe award.\n\n\nIan is a hugely experienced broadcaster\, podcaster\, writer and a brilliantly funny comedian. He performs at all the major comedy venues/festivals in the UK and around the world. He’s recently begun posting reels on Instagram\, Tik Tok\, Facebook and X and very quickly built up a following of over seventy thousand. His reels have had millions of hits.\n\nWhen he’s not doing stand up comedy\, Ian presents a football chat show on TNTSport. Guests have included Alan Davies and Omid Djalili as well as football legends Lee Dixon and Rob Lee.\n\nHe hosts the Handbrake Off Arsenal podcast for The Athletic. They recently did their first live show at a sold out Leicester Square theatre.\n\nHe wrote To Be Someone\, a book about growing up as a teenager and loving The Jam. It’s had over five hundred four and five star reviews on Amazon and Goodreads. Paul Weller gave him a quote for the front cover.\n\nFor five years\, he co-hosted the award winning Rock N Roll Football on Absolute Radio with Ian Wright.
