Becoming British is back
Lora's Newsletter #24
I am over the moon to announce that my latest show, Becoming British, is back for two exclusive live performances and a total of four weeks install across two locations!
To celebrate this, I have turned on the referral option of my Substack for a limited time only. You can now invite friends to join my newsletter and earn rewards for helping me grow our community.
If you enjoy my sporadic missives, I would love if you could share them with friends; and why not invite them to see the show with you?!
Becoming British in Birmingham and Rotherham
How much do we change when we move to a new country? What do we embrace, resist, leave behind? Can we really, one day, become "truly" British? And what does that even mean?
Becoming British is back for two presentations: At Centrala in Birmingham (live show on Friday 7th February 4pm-10pm and installation until Saturday 15th February) and at ROAR in Rotherham (live performance on Wednesday 5th March from 3pm-9pm and exhibition until Friday 28th March). The live performances are ticketed and you can now get yours via the links below (or refer 3 friends to my newsletter and get a free ticket). My hostile environment costs mugs are now also on sale so you can grab yourself one when booking your ticket (mug to be collected at the venue).
I can’t wait to see you at the show. Oh and if you are coming to ROAR, we are having an after party to celebrate the project so make sure to select a (free) ticket for that as well :)
Pluto Press x Becoming British collab
Pluto Press, the radical publishers, are supporting Becoming British by supplying many of the books we use as part of the show. For a limited time only you can get a free book from our library. To do that, you need to refer this newsletter to 15 pals and I will hand select and send you a book. Referrals will be open until the 7th March only and is limited to the first 3 people who hit 15 referrals. All books will be sent after the 7th as they first need to perform in the show ;)
More things to come!
I am working with Sheffield City Council to create an event celebrating the city’s amazing creative communities. On the occasion of the new Sheffield cultural strategy being launched, I want to celebrate the amazing work of community organisers and creatives and bring us all together. Do you have any suggestions or want to get involved? Anyone you know who *must* be part of this? Please get in touch, I would love to connect.
Substack and referrals
I am trialing the new Substack feature which allows readers to share what they read and win rewards if their friends subscribe. It’s all quite new to me but i LOVE a good incentive so i thought… why not! As it happens, i have lots of things to share with you and would love to grow our community in the process.
So if you share this post or my substack (using the buttons provided) and 5 of your friends subscribe, you can win a free Becoming British ticket (venue of your choice). If 15 subscribe, i will send you a book from our Becoming library (limited to the first 3 people who hit 15 referrals). And if you are an mega champion and refer 25 people you win a free coaching session!
Thank you for reading and supporting my work, hope to see you very soon!
