Elaine and Louise chat with the creators of Slash Leah Hennessey and Emily Allan. Slash is on @ Summerhall until the 27th August @10.15pm. We chat the creating the show, finding that person you connect with both personal and creatively and all things Fanfiction. Louise is in her element. Another great episode with brilliant humans.   
https://tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on/slash

Slash
The Blond (Emily Allan) and The Dark Haired One (Leah Hennessey) attempt to transcend the banality of identity and the terror of consciousness through cosplay, anglophilia, critical theory and song. Incorporating fan-fictional pairings such as Lennon/McCartney and Sherlock/Watson, interspersed with meta commentary by infamous second-wave feminists (Camile Paglia, Andrea Dworkin) and mashed up 80s punk songs, they guide the audience through an infernal fantasia of perverted intertextuality. Described as 'prankish genius' (TheParisReview.org) and 'the ultimate fanfiction play' (Syfy.com), Slash is a pop-feminist tour de force about the erotics of collaboration and friendship.

Episode 177: Slash - Leah Hennessey & Emily Allan

The Mount Vernon Literary Tour is created by The Baltimore National Heritage Area (BNHA), which promotes, preserves, and enhances Baltimore's historic and cultural legacy and natural resources for current and future generations. A site-by-site walking tour of this and other destinations is available at www.https://bnha.visit.zone/

Located at 215 East Biddle Street

Orphaned at age 17, Gertrude Stein (b. 1874, d. 1946) moved to Baltimore in 1892 to live with relatives. Within the straitlaced German-Jewish community, she found unconventional role models like her uncle, photographer David Bachrach, and Dr. Claribel Cone, the epitome of an independent woman.

Stein lived in this house while attending Johns Hopkins medical school. A failure as a med student, she instead moved to Paris and became one of the most influential cultural figures of the 20th century. She championed modernism, boldly experimenting with language in her literary works. Her famous salon brought together writers and artists who profoundly changed art and literature, from Picasso to Fitzgerald. She lived openly as a lesbian at a time when homosexuality was taboo.  

Stein wrote caustically about Baltimore yet acknowledged her formative experience here. In the end, she claimed Baltimore as her hometown, noting, “after all everybody has to come from somewhere.”

Mount Vernon Literary Tour: Gertrude Stein

The "Be Here" storytelling project, in conjunction with the Peale, Baltimore's Community Museum, and the Smithsonian's Stories from Main Street initiative, is an effort to gather and distribute stories about community life and places across the United States. The first version of this project began in 2011 with the Stories from Main Street storytelling initiative,  the brainchild of the Smithsonian's Museum on Main Street (MoMS) team. Today, the Peale is partnering with Museum on Main Street to continue the storytelling campaign, often connected thematically to MoMS' traveling exhibitions about topics like work history, waterways, food culture, traditional music, hometown sports, etc. Anyone with an interest in life in America’s towns and communities can add their own experiences to the archive.

The "Be Here" program is an effort to diversify the voices of American cultural stories, stories especially about places that are important to people. To leave a story, download the "Be Here Stories" app on the App Store. Learn more at https://www.thepealecenter.org/bherebmore/

Persistent and Nasty is a script-reading, debate and art as activism initiative for women and gender minorities in the stage and screen industries. We are committed to an intersectional approach and aim to use the space we’ve created to provide a platform for the spectrum of marginalised voices in our culture.

Through a series of script readings, live debates and a regular podcast series, we aim to amplify the unrepresented voices in theatre and film.

Our goal is to create a project that is safe and supportive, but that is also an act of protest. Persistent and Nasty is about changing the cultural narrative through the stories we tell.

Late night conversation are always so enriching whether they’re light-hearted or deep they hit an emotion that leaves us fulfilled for the most part. Every Thursday, join in on those nighttime  conversations with your host Nagham. A mix of chats on feminism, relationships, navigating life while overthinking (something I’m notorious at) everything that might pop up in between.
