The Boyfriend Trick - Installation. 23rd March 2-4pm, Studio 2, FAB

You are invited to an installation exploring the role of performance in advocating for social change. There are estimated to be 100,000 victims of modern slavery in the UK working in nail bars, car washes, the sex trade and criminal enterprises. The Boyfriend Trick installation uses verbatim material gathered in partnership with anti-slavery charities to tell the true story of one survivor from Albania.

Using the mediums of Text, Body and Artefacts the audience is invited to explore the story through an interactive installation consisting of:

Land of Eagles - five 4-minute audio monologues

The Boyfriend Trick - a 4-minute dance film

Artefacts - a collection of objects relating to the story

The installation will be followed by a panel discussion with creatives, charities and theatre scholars on how the arts can advocate for victims of modern slavery and human trafficking.

The panel members are:

Dr Margaret Shewring, Chair - Emeritus Reader of Theatre & Performance Studies, University of Warwick.

Alison Porter - Writer & PGR in Theatre & Performance Studies, University of Warwick

Polina Zelmanova - Film Director & PGR in Film & Television Studies, University of Warwick

Dr Evi Stamatiou - Senior lecturer in Acting for Stage and Screen, University of East London

Anxhela Bruci (online from Albania) - Global Crime and Justice scholar and activist with the anti-slavery charity, Arise.
