Your host
Erin Enfys (they/them)
Erin Enfys (they/them) is a disabled, neurodivergent and queer-non binary performer, writer, and musician based in Brighton. They trained in Musical Theatre at the London College of Music and have had a diverse career in theatre, film and musicals. They create subversive, authentic, community-driven performances that are informed by their own lived experience.
Your cast
EM Williams (they/them)
EM is a queer non binary performer from the midlands, where they grew up with their Jamaican-Irish family. Their specialisms include circus, puppetry, physicality, song and poetry, and their work in movement and performance has taken them to three continents (so far). But what they're doing here, now, today? They're here, against all odds, standing for words and movements that are, in no uncertain terms:
Irresponsibly kind
Progressively unreasonable
A challenge to urgency
Intuition building
Creating common grounds that are, above all, catalysed by the energy source that is love.
(And yes, they are a Sagittarius)
Hattie Snooks (she/her)
Hattie Snooks is a Brighton-based singer, songwriter, theatre-maker, and cabaret creature with too many alter-egos who can’t seem to stop making things…
Hear ye! Hear ye! Hast thou ever wondered what "Espresso" by Sabrina Carpenter would sound like if it were rewritten into a historical ditty about a knight's armour? Hattie Snooks hast!
Your chainmail-clad cabaret queen is swapping synths for lutes, with a playlist of pop girlies and the desire to go medieval on your ass! Expect factually (in)accurate olde worlde mayhem and endless bops from a bardcore bae!
Bring thy voice, thy vim, and thy vaguest grasp of history, for Hattie careth not for veracity.... only for CHAOS
Robin Kathaas (any pronouns)
Robin Kathaas is a Belgian poet who now lives in the UK with their cat, Orlando. Their poetry focuses on themes of dislocation through both time and space. Working with abstract images to explore familiar emotions, they aim to make people feel the weight of their own presents, pasts, and futures (plural for each one of us). They can be found on Instagram at @robin.kathaas, or by asking a postal dove really nicely
Sophoenixx Silk-Fyah (she/xe)
Creativity is my rebirth right
Weaving word webs
Trying to catch some truth
My art is my living’s proof
Sketching out some dreams
Stretching out old seams
Flowing out gold streams
Keeping up with cream
I will rise again
just like Maya
I will show the blaze
what it means to be fire
Sophoenixx is a multidisciplinary artist whose experimental work in fine art, illustration, graphic design, filmmaking, fiction, poetry and performance coalesces into a powerful profound personal and social exploration.
Often channeled through a genre of socially conscious realism, this body of work forms a singular, evolving exploration of inner landscapes, external environments, and the vital connective tissue between nature, self, and community.
Studies: BA Design & Illustration at Central Saint Martins & MA Visual Arts, Camberwell College, UAL.
Accolades include a nomination for the Best in British Illustration Awards, a place on the Pan Macmillan 'Writers on the Rise' scheme, and selection for the prestigious Soho House Fellowship.
