SHP & FLIC: Unique client-voices theatre performance (Camden)
2019-07-03 13:00 - 14:30
Fulfilling Lives Islington & Camden (FLIC) invites you to join us for a unique theatre experience, where you will hear the real stories of people with lived experience of multiple disadvantage, as told in their own words. Brought to life by professional actors, the script is based on the powerful personal testimonies of people FLIC has worked with in Camden and Islington over the past four years.
Produced in partnership with the Human Rights theatre company Ice & Fire, the piece showcases both the struggles and the achievements of people experiencing multiple disadvantage and asks us to see the world, perhaps for the first time, through their eyes.
The performances will mark the launch of England’s first ever Multiple Disadvantage Day and the national #seethefullpicture campaign, which aims to reduce stigma and increase awareness and understanding of multiple disadvantage.
FLIC is run by Single Homeless Project (SHP), a London-wide charity working to prevent homelessness and help vulnerable people to transform their lives. To find out more about our work visit www.shp.org.uk/fulfillinglives
RSVP today to reserve your seat at either of these two performances:

‘Then they separated us. We tried to say no, we applied for asylum as a couple. They say we don’t have any civil evidence that we are a couple. And we’re like – how can we show you any civil evidence if homosexuality is forbidden in my country?’
This Is Who I Am interweaves three first-hand accounts of LGBT+ people seeking asylum in Britain, their experiences in their own country, and on arrival in Britain, addressing the particular challenges they face. Read by members of the Actors For Human Rights network, an outreach project run by ice&fire, followed by a Q&A discussion.

Asylum Monologues @ Ben & Jerry's Cone Together Manchester: Welcome not Walls
2019-06-22 13:00 - 15:00
Be & Jerry’s will be hosting a Wall of welcome messages in Piccadilly Gardens in Manchester this weekend. Ice&Fire will be performing readings of Asylum Monologues 1-3pm on Saturday 22nd June
https://www.facebook.com/events/2126481530783221/
We need a society where everyone feels welcome. And, right now, there are too many people being shut out from our communities. Which got us thinking, it doesn’t need to be this way…
So, along with some friends at national and local refugee organisations as part of Refugee Week, Ben & Jerry’s are building a wall, with a bit of a difference – to welcome, not divide.
We’ll be asking our fans to cone together and decorate our wall with messages of solidarity and welcome for people who are seeking safety.
Plus, our wall will be complete with a celebration of refugee-led music, arts, spoken word set to bring people together through what unites and not divides us. And of course, we’ll be bringing a scoop or two of our chunky and swirly Fairtrade ice cream. It’s time to raise a paintbrush (and a spoon)!
The wall of welcome will be heading to Manchester on 21-22nd June for Refugee Week, so stop down and see us between 9-6pm on either day.
People seeking asylum are our co-workers, neighbours and friends but every day people are being shut out, unable to participate fully in society. There’s never been a more important time to stand against regressive policies which seek to divide us. Because what’s sweeter than people coming together, to say “we’re all equal, and we’re all welcome here”.

Arming The World @ Brighton, Ship Street
2019-06-22 12:00 - 15:00
Unmasking Britain’s shadowy arms trade
Free performances: 12 noon and 2pm: 22nd June 2019
In the words of the #ArmingtheWorld team:
“In the UK, we do many things well. Stately homes, the James Bond franchise, fish and chips and tax havens. But there’s one important source of national pride that is often overlooked. Triumphing over past decade, the UK has been the second largest exporter of arms in the world (damn you USA!), with over 300 British companies involved in the trade. Our stunning weapons have been deployed across the globe and we want to help you get to know them a bit better.” (Sept 2017)
This show “…..brings the shadowy world of our government’s involvement into arms trading out into the light of day”

“This waiting for the Home Office to decide – me, I always say that it is a diplomatic form of torture. They are not raping us, they are not burning us with cigarettes, they are not hitting us with guns, but they are torturing us mentally, and that’s the worst. Because – my scars, they heal. It was painful but if I touch them now, I feel no pain. But the torture that is mental – this is constant…”
The first script created for ice&fire’s Actors for Human Rights project, Asylum Monologues is a first-hand account of the UK’s asylum system in the words of people who have experienced it read by actors. The Actors for Human Rights programme was founded in 2006 and is a network of more than 700 professional actors across the UK who are dedicated to drawing public attention to human rights concerns, responding to requests for rehearsed readings of our documentary plays and can go anywhere at any time.
ice&fire explores human rights stories through performance, putting human rights at the core of everything they do to make accessible theatre for a wide range of audiences across the UK. The reading will be followed by a Q&A Panel Discussion.
‘This was not what I expected. I was expecting some kind of inauthentic moralising verbatim theatre experience. The acting (in Asylum Monologues) was delicate, minimal, allowing the words to speak for themselves. Although we know it must go on, it’s still shocking to hear the first-hand accounts of people devoured by the heartless machine of bureaucracy. This was brave, honest, close to the bone.’ – OXFORD THEATRE REVIEW
