It’s hard to be good all the time. A good mother, a good daughter, a good partner, a good friend, a good person. To be ambitious but not ruthless; a success but not a sell-out. A gentle parent but not a pushover. To be smashing life and make it look easy. The juggle. Suzi is exhausted and she hasn’t even started. This is a stand-up show and a support group!
The Juggle is a brand-new tour from confessional multi-award-winning comedian Suzi Ruffell.

Investigate how Black women carved out their own place in the action hero film genre.
Black women have a unique representative journey in film. Travelling from the servitude of 1915’s The Birth Of A Nation (Dir. D.W. Griffiths), through to the ‘bad mamma’ icons of the Blaxploitation genre, landing on today’s images that fulfil at least some of the archetypes of the action, superhero characteristics.
Theme - Community
This month, our photo social will focus on the theme of community and will be hosted by photographer, and Take It Easy team member, Hannah Platt.
Taking inspiration from the latest exhibition by Hyde Park Art Club - 'Is This What We Have Left?’, we want to explore how photography can be used to document a community, create a sense of belonging, and showcase it's heritage.
A room full of different everyday objects invites young and older to stack, balance and join to make 3D artworks from the stuff that surrounds us and is thrown away when it could be used to make art. Each day we will photograph one and post it on our social media as #Play 'sculpture of the day'.
Whilst you are here, why not explore the Gallery for artworks featuring everyday things, spend time in our Sculpture and Photography exhibition, and pop-next door to our sister gallery the Henry Moore Institute to find the Hany Armanious 'Stone Soup exhibition.

Six hours of DJ MUTANT MOVEMENT.
The idea is not to just play records released in a particular year but more about recreating the buzz that was around at the time, including tracks released on record in previous years but still very relevant as well as those not yet on record but a staple part of an artist's live show, B-sides and album tracks or sessions recorded for radio broadcast such as on John Peel's show.
Either way, every track I play at these anniversary events were heard in the year we celebrate and no doubt in someone's list of favourite tracks of that year.
