The Fall From Home,
POSTPONED DUE TO COVID-19, Contact Theatre
( supported by Black Gold Arts and Commonword)
The Fall From Home is an interdisciplinary exploration of the epistemology of belonging, written and performed by Ruby-Ann Patterson.
Using spoken word, vocal performance and visual poetry, she interrogates the meaning of lineage and the experience of displacement as a Mixed-Race and (sometimes reluctantly) British Woman.
Through mapping her heritage and examining critical theory, Ruby-Ann exposes a hybrid way of responding to outdated ideas still lingering in Britains collective ideology.

'The Other Side of You' is a visual poetry exploration which investigates British Mixed-Race identity and the epistemologies of belonging, dissecting themes of memory, ritual, lineage and displacement.
The Other Side of You is an intertextual visual poetry anthology working to expose a hybrid way of responding to outdated academic theories which attempt to homogenise the Mixed-Race experience. Ruby-Ann is hosting an Open house and discussion.
