SUMMARY:Talk: The Art of Tim Burton: Exploring Dark Fantasy and Gothic Aesthetics
DESCRIPTION:Characterised by dark\, uncanny imagery and an off-beat persona\, Tim Burton has cultivated a reputation as an eccentric and irreverent filmmaker. Spanning both live-action and animation\, his work applies a macabre twist to everything from superhero and sci-fi films to biographical dramas and musicals. However\, it is through stop-motion animation that Burton’s grotesque monsters and misfits truly come to life\, allowing him to explore themes of bodily difference\, disfigurement\, and disassembly. \nIn this talk\, Dr Christopher Holliday\, a Senior Lecturer in Liberal Arts and Visual Cultures Education at King’s College London\, examines how Burton’s fascination with unstable\, conflicted bodies is enhanced by stop-motion’s inherent strangeness. We will trace his artistic beginnings at the California Institute of the Arts\, his early work at Disney\, and his departure to develop a gothic-inspired counter-style. By exploring Corpse Bride (2005) and Frankenweenie (2012)\, this talk reveals how Burton’s haunting aesthetic has shaped his legacy as a Hollywood outsider. By reflecting on Burton’s contribution to the development of animation as an art form over the last forty years\, Dr Chris Holliday reveals how his haunting visual style has come to symbolise the career of a filmmaker whose identity has remained increasingly difficult to place. \n  \nDr Christopher Holliday is Senior Lecturer in Liberal Arts and Visual Cultures Education at King’s College London. He has published widely on Hollywood cinema and animation history\, and is the author of The Computer-Animated Film: Industry\, Style and Genre (2018) and co-editor of Fantasy/Animation: Connections Between Media\, Mediums and Genres (2018) and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs: New Perspectives on Production\, Reception\, Legacy (2021). He has written multiple book chapters and articles on animation and contemporary media culture for academic publications\, as well as for Total Film\, The Independent\, and The Conversation\, and spoken on animation around the world\, including at the British Film Institute and Cinema Museum in London and recently at the Annecy Film Festival in France. He can also be found as the curator and creator of the website\, blog\, and podcast Fantasy/Animation.

SUMMARY:Music: Abigail Lapell / Steph Cameron
DESCRIPTION:Abigail Lapell\nToronto songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Abigail Lapell returns with Anniversary\, an evocative collection of original love songs. The album balances upbeat earworms with elegiac ballads\, ultimately emerging as an earnest celebration of commitment. Anniversary was recorded at 200-year-old St. Mark’s Church in Niagara-on-the-Lake\, Ontario\, co-produced with Great Lake Swimmers’ Tony Dekker\, who helped shape the project’s spooky\, resonant sound while lending his voice to a few spellbinding duets. \n  \n \nSteph Cameron\nSPILL MAGAZINE “Steph Cameron made waves with her debut record Sad-Eyed Lonesome Lady (2014)\, an effort that garnered its fair share of acclaim and rave reviews. Her sophomore release\, Daybreak Over Jackson Street shares the same heartfelt spirit and intimacy that drew listeners in the first time around. After a great deal of touring and writing\, the roots singer returns with tracks that reflect a confident songstress with maturity\, experience and an empathetic eye.” \nFOLK RADIO UK “It’s not unusual for artists plying an Americana trade to be likened to such names as Townes Van Zandt\, John Prine and Bob Dylan\, but the artists in question are usually men. It’s rare for a female singer to attract such comparisons. Vancouver’s Steph Cameron is both an exception and exceptional \n

SUMMARY:Music: The Deep Dark Woods (solo)
DESCRIPTION:One might be tempted to think of the Deep Dark Woods as a band steeped in capital-T tradition\, and that may be true\, but now nearly two decades into their life as one of Canada’s finest folk-roots ensembles\, that tradition is one of their own invention. The voice of founding member Ryan Boldt sits at the forefront of the band\, and it doesn’t take long to reveal that he is a master of subtlety and shading\, working in the lineage of iconic singers like Bob Dylan\, Bert Jansch\, Rick Danko\, and Jason Molina. Boldt\, a relentless lifelong listener of music\, says “It’s all I do. When I’m not playing music\, I’m listening to it\, trying to find songs that make me feel an aching pain in my chest.” Accordingly\, his singing is full of highly emotive nuance and an elegant\, relaxed precision that makes it seem downright effortless\, a perfect vehicle for the band’s particular brand of updated folk music. Fellow travellers like keyboard whiz Geoff Hilhorst\, veteran drummer Mike Silverman\, and Evan Cheadle round out the Deep Dark Woods unit\, and they are often assisted by like-minded collaborators such as singer-songwriter Ellen Froese\, Erik Nielsen\, Leon Power\, and the acclaimed duo Kacy & Clayton. This crew creates a powerful combination and has amassed a pile of celebrated albums\, EPs\, and a host of nominations from music awards outfits from across the country. Together they recall classic units like The Band\, mid-period Wilco\, and American Beauty-era Grateful Dead\, but also legendary late ’60s UK groups like Fairport Convention\, Pentangle\, and Steeleye Span. \nWhich brings us to the Deep Dark Woods’ latest album\, Broadside Ballads\, Vol.III. Intertwined amongst their albums of original material\, Deep Dark Woods has been steadily building up a series of releases called Broadside Ballads\, focusing on traditional Irish\, English\, and Scottish folk songs. It’s a fitting tribute to the music that influenced Boldt’s writing and singing since first forming the band\, and like their forebears\, Deep Dark Woods aims to take their own experiences of traditional music and create something new and vital. The songs in this collection mine some of the more brutal depths of human experience\, touching on broken hearts\, love\, murder\, and the act of leaving. Boldt notes that “there are not too many jolly songs in there”\, but the album is not a dour affair\, instead benefiting from tasteful\, unstated arrangements and an organic\, no-frills recording sound. The songs on Vol.III generously display The Deep Dark Woods’ deep-seated links to the past while still sounding just like themselves. \nA brand new album of original music recorded by David Parry (Loving\, Alice Phoebe Lou) will be released on Victory Pool throughout 2025 complimented by tours of the UK\, Canada\, and Europe. \n  \n \n

SUMMARY:Music: Sam Outlaw Plus Special Guest\, Hannah Aldridge.
DESCRIPTION:After a wonderful show in The Studio in March 2022\, Sam Outlaw returns Bristol with his new album Terra Cotta \nSam Outlaw is a southern Californian based singer-songwriter steeped in the music and mythos of west coast country\, absorbing the classic vibes of everything from ’60s Bakersfield honky-tonk to ’70s Laurel Canyon troubadour pop and refashioning them into a sound that’s pleasurably past\, present and future tense. \n  \nSpecial guest Hannah Aldridge. \nHannah Aldridge grew up on the muddy banks of Muscle Shoals—her birthright is music and Alabama. A reckoning between her coming-of-age in the South and a lifetime of trying to create an identity outside of it\, her songs strike a delicate balance between rebellion and self-discovery. These two themes weave through Aldridge’s gifted storytelling\, making for records that soothe like a lullaby and crack like a whip. For those raised in the Bible Belt\, Aldridge’s music sounds like the voice of an old friend who understands. For those not in the know\, her music is an initiation to the dark side of the South\, Christian fundamentalism and the struggle to forge a future in a place haunted by its past. \n  \nSam & Hannah will be joined on stage by the wonderful Demi Marriner.

SUMMARY:Music: Sarabeth Tucek CANCELLED
DESCRIPTION:Due to unforeseen circumstances\, we are sorry to announce the cancellation of this show\nCRH Music\, by arrangement with Outsider Artists\, present …\nSarabeth Tucek\nHer 2023 double album release\, Joan of All has garnered impressive critical acclaim. \nSBT and her music are the product of America\, and whilst sounding somehow familiar is unlike anything that has come before – it is an utter rejection of pastiche. \nAmerican singer-songwriter Sarabeth Tucek returned in 2023 after a decade-long intermission with the new moniker SBT and her long-awaited third album ‘Joan Of All’\, which was issued world-wide on her own imprint Ocean Omen. \nAfter the first single “The Gift” received heavy play on BBC Radio 6 Music courtesy of Marc Riley\, Gideon Coe and Cerys Matthews\, anticipation for the new double-album kicked into high gear\, and it did not disappoint\, hailed by critics and fans alike as her masterwork. \nShe followed up by mounting three full-band tours of the UK which saw her perform the epic ‘Joan Of All’ in its entirety. SBT now returns to the UK and Ireland in April/May 2025 for a very special\, intimate set of acoustic shows with her longtime producer Luther Russell which will cut a swath through her whole catalog\, including her classic self-titled debut\, the much beloved sophomore album ‘Get Well Soon’ and of course the genre-defying\, ‘Joan of All’. \n“A glorious peak” ––MOJO ⅘**** \n  \n

SUMMARY:Talk: The Philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche
DESCRIPTION:Unravel one of history’s greatest thinkers exploring the ‘death of God’\, the meaning of life\, and the value of our values. Followed by Q&A. \n  \n‘God is dead’ proclaimed Nietzsche in 1882\, a saying which has become world-renowned alongside his recognition as a philosopher of ‘nihilism’. Nietzsche is one of the key figures to address the decline in religion in Europe alongside increasing modernisation and what this means for life’s fundamental questions. If a higher power doesn’t exist\, then what do our lives mean? Similarly in a largely post-religious society\, how can we think about universal values? \nJoin Dr Elliott to explore Nietzsche’s key ideas. First\, we will assess the importance of the famous ‘death of god’ message from Nietzsche’s The Gay Science\, exploring its implications for thinking about nihilism\, commonly understood as the absence of any ultimate value or meaning to life. We will also address the nuances of Nietzsche’s own position about what nihilism really is. Secondly\, we will explore what tools or resources Nietzsche gives us for thinking about the meaning of our lives. We will look at the reasons for his rejection of traditional religious narratives about the meaning of life and take Nietzsche seriously about his claim to re-think the “value of our values”\, and what possibilities are opened up to us in the wake of the death of God. \nDoors open at 7pm\, talk starts at 7:30pm – come down early to grab a good seat! \nFollow us on IG @seedtalks \nDr Richard J. Elliott is Lecturer in European Philosophy at Birkbeck College\, University of London. He has published widely on Nietzsche and many other topics in modern European philosophy. He currently has a book under contract on the topic of Nietzsche and the Death of God with Cambridge University Press.

SUMMARY:Talk:The Psychology of Autism and Relationships
DESCRIPTION:Discover the unique aspects of autistic communication and gain practical strategies for strengthening relationships. Followed by Q+A. \nAutistic individuals communicate and build relationships in unique ways with both autistic and non-autistic individuals. They may face challenges like camouflaging – adapting or minimising their behaviour to fit in – and social rejection. These experiences can be understood through Double Empathy Theory\, which suggests that people with different worldviews may struggle to empathise with each other due to differences in language use and comprehension. \nIn this talk\, Emine Gurbuz will unpack the distinctive nature of autistic communication\, through the lens of Double Empathy Theory. She will focus on the role of non-autistic partners and explore how these experiences affect mental health. She will conclude by offering actionable insights and tools to bridge the gap and enhance understanding and communication between autistic and non-autistic individuals. \nDoors open at 7pm\, talk starts at 7:30pm – come down early to grab a bite to eat! \nSpeaker Bio \nEmine Gurbuz is a senior lecturer at the University of Portsmouth’s School of Psychology and Sport Sciences. She is part of the Centre for Interaction\, Development and Diversity Research which examines social interactions across human development. Her research supports families\, children and professionals in education\, employment and care settings. Emine uses Collaborative Participatory Research Approach to study the experiences of autistic adults using both qualitative and quantitative methods. \n
