On 24th January 2017, the Royal School of Speech and Drama will be hosting a special discussion. Attendees will explore the views of actresses and actors from different cultural backgrounds, ages and genders – to compare and contrast what they think about hair and how they deal with their own. This live debate will reflect the topics that were covered in my series ‘Afro Archives: A Performers World’. Alongside the differences we would expect, there are also some very interesting common experiences. Tickets are free, but limited, so if you are interested in attending – please book ASAP!
Over the 12 Afro Archives episodes, I’ve looked at what those common experiences are, what binds us together through relationships with our hair, and then what separates and defines us culturally.
On the 24th of January 2017, join me at the Royal School of Speech and Drama for a debate about hair, where I’ll be sharing my own hair experiences as a performer (My Fro & Me), while opening up an inclusive discussion about hair and who we are.
Register now if you’re able to join me!
