SUMMARY:When the Blackbird Sings
DESCRIPTION:Please note this event begins in Blackbird Leys and mostly takes place on a bus through to the centre of Oxford with stops along the way\, ending at the Schwarzman Centre. There will be a shuttle bus leaving 15 minutes after the show finishes going back to Blackbird Leys. The starting venue will be announced soon and communicated to all bookers. \nAn immersive\, eye-opening\, heart-stirring journey through time.\nDirected by Erica Whyman and written by Natty Mark Samuels\, Helen Eastman\, and Afsaneh Gray. \nThis is the story of Paulette\, who was born in Jamaica\, crossed an ocean to expand her horizons and now\, in 1966\, she is determined to change the world. She hopes you will come along for the ride. \nJoin us in Blackbird Leys for a warm welcome and the start of a glorious odyssey through the city of Oxford. You will meet remarkable pioneers\, passionate changemakers\, a patron saint and fellow humans simply trying to survive. You will be invited to hop aboard a bus* to travel back to the 8th Century and forward to the 21st on a quest to find ancestors on whose shoulders Paulette can stand. We will end our journey at the new Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities\, with truth in our mouths and hope in our hearts. \n*Some walking or wheelchair travel is required\, on flat but sometimes uneven surfaces. Please ask us for more information – we are keen to make this experience as accessible as we possibly can within the constraints of some of the oldest parts of the city.   \nProduction originated as part of The Leys Festival 2026.

SUMMARY:Phase | Pattern | Pulse - The Sextets
DESCRIPTION:Presented in full 360° immersive audio\, these three sextets – Sextet\, Double Sextet and Six Marimbas – distill Steve Reich’s musical language into its purest form: interlocking rhythmic figures\, subtle shifts\, and harmonies which seem to vibrate in the air. In this innovative format the piece becomes a kinetic experience\, moving through space as much as through time. \nDeveloped by Loss﹥﹤Gain in collaboration with the Colin Currie Group\, this spatial reimagining places you at the heart of the music. Multiple instrumental layers pulse and overlap\, revealing the hypnotic beauty and physical energy that define Reich’s work.
