Book Launch | Thursday 23 October 2014

Vagabond Voices invites you to the launch of Sheep and Goats, the first novel by Glasgow writer and musician Lewis Gordon.

350 Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow

Sheep and Goats follows teenage drummer Nicky as he slides from his church-going ways into a high school punk band. Adopted by a whole new crowd of misfits and piss-artists, he stumbles off the 'narrow path', as faith struggles against friendship, sex, drink and unholy music. Constructed from compressed, profane sketches, this recounting of teenage thrills and playground drudgery is concerned more with its characters' comings and goings than their coming of age.

World Class Dance Show Set to Amaze at Tramway in October

In Tramway 1 on 17 and 18 October, acclaimed and controversial choreographer Jérôme Bel has joined forces with Theater HORA - Switzerland’s professional theatre company of actors with learning and mental disabilities - for a special collaboration called Disabled Theater. Jérôme Bel has been interested since his early works in what lies beyond representation. 

In Disabled Theater, he sheds light on the elements of exclusion that lead to the marginalization of those who are considered unable to produce. On the contrary, he exposes how they are able to question the very mechanisms of representation. Disabled Theater opens up a space where disability is not expelled from visual and discursive practices, nor hidden behind the screen of political correctness.
