Q&A: Dirtbox

One of VFD's most iconic nights, Dirtbox, recently made its comeback, bringing with it lots of familiar faces and popper-scented memories of debauched days... We caught up with Dirtbox crew, Jos, Alex and Michael, for a Q&A.

Q: Dirtbox is the stuff on legends in VFD’s history. Can you recount where the inspiration, and the name, for the night came from?

A: When we first started talking about doing a night we very much wanted it to be a no-frills night with good music. We very much were inspired by gay discos from the 1970s and 1980s in terms of music with very sexy undertones but not overtly sexual (although a lot of things happened...). When it came to picking a name we were looking for something that we felt would be the embodiment of that sentiment and so settled on Dirtbox.

Q: Describe the sound of Dirtbox? A: It's evolved a lot since we started which was really eclectic from hiphouse to newbeat, but it's now really about modern deep house vibe interspersed with old rave classics

Q: What makes Dirtbox unique in terms of a clubbing experience? A: Dirtbox had a reputation as a no-holds-barred, anything-goes kind of night.

Q: What’s the most outrageous story from the original days of Dirtbox? A: Urm, probably that time that circle jerk happened on the dancefloor. It was just in time for Christmas. (That's the only thing I can remember anyway, too much poppers...).

Q: What made you decide to rebirth the night after its 2 year hiatus? A: When we started there wasn't much going on in Dalston, even Superstore hadn't opened. There was just fashion parties in Shoreditch but then it exploded over the years; there was so many parties it was time to take a break but everyone kept asking and asking us to do one again so we thought, why not?

Q: Do you think the clubbing landscape in Dalston has changed since the original nights? If so, what’s different / what do you miss? A: It's definitely changed a lot. When we first started back in 2009 there were only a handful of bars and not much else. It was also a lot less busy on weekend nights with mostly people from East London or those in the know coming to parties as it was a bit more of an effort to get there before the overground opened at Dalston Junction.

Q: In 5 words, tell us why we should come to the next instalment on Saturday 13th August? A: Poppers, sweat, men, sexy times and more poppers.

DIRTBOX is back: Sat 13 Aug from 10pm.

Tue 16 Aug: Extra Second London

Extra Second London is a new monthly poetry/debate night where we take an extra second to reflect on the ideas touched on by our featured poets. We give you, the lovely audience, a chance to make your voices heard - because poetry shouldn't just be a spectator sport. This month's theme is: The Future of British Politics.

With the Tories taking a sharp turn to the right, Labour seemingly on the verge being torn apart, the rise of UKIP, the possibility of another Scottish referendum and the small matter of an EU exit to negotiate, our political system seems to be approaching a turning point. So where do we go from here? Come along and have your say.

We have 4 wonderful featured performers this month as well as an OPEN MIC! If you'd like to perform we ask that you keep it topical, but it is a free county (for now...).

Sign up is on the door from 7.30.

Once all that poetry is out of the way we will open the floor for the main event - a roundtable audience discussion on the month's theme. Looking forward to hearing all your opinions on a topic that's sure to spark some heated debate.

This month's featured speakers:

JASON PILLEY has been performing poetry in London for the last four and a half years. In 2012 he won and lost various slams, he featured at all the best and most of the worst poetry-nights, he won the oh-so-prestigious "Farrago Zoo Awards" award for Best Debut Performance and was selected to take part in Apples & Snakes's "The Word's A Stage" programme. In 2013, in a futile but glorious attempt to position himself as the Humphry Osmond of poetry, he put together a group called The Mind Gang and organised open acid-trips at various unlikely sites: groups of poets took legal analogues of LSD in the British Museum, Kew Gardens, the Tate Modern, Durdle Door, etc. In 2014 he collaborated with the classical violinist Oktawia Petronella on the epic "The Invention Of Opera": having decided that pubs and bars and coffee-shops are the opposite of poetry, the pair performed their reimagining of the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice at graveyards and in churches, in art-galleries and on random buses, in a disused cavernous tunnel under the Thames and by the legal-graffiti wall in Leake Street... Also that year he handed out three million free copies of his one-off poetry-zine entitled "Uh! Uh! Uh! Uh! Uh! Uh! Uh!" 2015 was boring. So far in 2016 he's published a collection of his and his friends' poems called "SPIES 4 LIFE," he's distributed three hundred copies of that collection to random strangers as part of Intergalactic Poetry Day, and September will see the release of his new poetry-pamphlet, a depraved experiment entitled "SEEDPOETRY.".

MARC LIVINGSTONE is marxist poet from Glasgow. He writes poems slagging off capitalism in the vain hope that he will be appointed poet laureate after the revolution.

DEAN MCKEE is a spoken word performer based in west London, who has a taste for word play and imagery and uses these to create stories that will touch your very core. He uses honesty about his upbringing and childhood to give you a look into who he is and his almost rap like flow will mesmerise you. Definitely one to watch for the flow alone.

SAM BERKSON, aka 'Angry Sam', has been hosting and promoting live poetry events with Hammer & Tongue for ten years. He has won slams, performed in three continents and published two books of poetry with Influx Press. His debut, 'Life in Transit' was described as "a highlight of 2012" by cultural theorist Mark Fisher. He followed this with a commission for Fishbar photogallery of poems written around Dalston's Ridley Road market, composing the text of Lorenzo Vitturi's award winning photobook, Dalston Anatomy. His most recent collection, Settled Wanderers, records his experience living on the Western Saharan refugee camps and contains the first English translations of Saharawi poetry. Poet Chris Searle, writing in the journal Race & Class, said that the "poems carry a particular kind of powerful witness in their lyrical solidarity. They are narratives of empathy with the lives of people he encountered”. 

Chloe Isadora: The Divine Feminine

Chloe Isadora will be channelling the divine feminine at her inaugural evening at VFD; her Full Moon Fire Ceremony is a ritualised release of energy, of things that are no longer serving us by offering them into the fire. This is an opportunity to let go and call in what we would like to receive for ourselves and the planet. Advance tickets available here.

Read more about Chloe's transition from the world of fashion to the world of the feminine divine here and here, and watch this space for more events with Chloe.

Flights of Fancy, Kava Girls and Absolut-ly supporting Stonewall

VFD creative director Lyall Hakaraia: Reviews Fancy Chance: Flights of Fancy 

Last Tuesday I went to see the scratch performance of Fancy Chance's Flights of Fancy as part of a two night run with the support of the Soho theatre. The vehicle for the night was a flight across the world from London to the US to Korea with Fancy as our stewardess, inflight movie and cultural tour guide, played to great effect with a mixture of video messages and live performance.

The mixture of autobiographical material with revelations her adoption and search for her American and Korean identity and trying to find and where she ‘fits in,’ combined with a strip tease and lack of technical fluidity gave the production a raw edge. There were laughs a plenty and Fancy is a natural comedian with great timing and an effortless ability to include her audience. Laughs with an edge make for an interesting evening and I look forward to seeing where she takes the production from here. Soho Theatre have just booked a longer run so if you missed it first time round, check out her Twitter feed here for more information.

Kava Girls

On the the day of the EU referendum I traveled out of the my East End comfort zone and headed to a decidedly damp Balham and the Theatre N16 to catch the performance of KAVA GIRLS.

The unfolding story picks apart the lives of three aspiring actresses who are all on the verge of getting their next big break that will provide them with the fame, financial stability and the recognition that they all desire.

The story is set backstage and the 3 are all understudies for 1 part. This promotes a distinct pecking order. Debra is the first understudy and is happy that for 3 years she has never been called on stage; the emotional stability of being in that position suits her lack of ambition and faded talent well. Salma is much more ambitious and is constantly seeking to find her self new roles only to be ’heavily penciled ‘ for parts that never come through, she wishes for a life on stage under the lights. Sinalei is a young Fa’afafine from Samoa who is assuring herself and everyone else (including her mother via the phone) that everything is going well for her and that she is street smart even though she is ‘green’ to London and the stage.

The staging of the play is ingenious and with a few simple props an expanse of vision is achieved  and sustained through out the piece. There is much singing as befits a story told backstage of a West End musical and the lyrics fall somewhere between Tim Rice and an episode of Glee. There is an audience for this work and the story line, while not unexpected, is never the less pleasing and makes for an enjoyable evening.

Good luck to the KAVA GIRLS as they journey around the UK on their PRIDE TOUR. The all female cast is refreshing and the inclusion of a Fa’afafine (a word that describes men who live as women in the pacific) character adds another dimension to a well acted and sung piece of work.

ABSOLUT MIX: STONEWALL FUNDRAISER

I was delighted to be invited as one of this year's Absolute Mix designers, alongside greats like Sibling and Gareth Pugh. You can see my collaboration with artist Tino Seubert here. The bottle went to auction and raised £550 for Stonewall which is fantastic!

These lively discussions will be interspersed with live bands and performances and, of course, a musical selection of Punk and Queer anthems.

When Kevin and Lewis met Stella... #Lift2016

VFD Creative Director Lyall Hakaraia reviews Lift Festival's play, Stella, and invites reflections from contemporary queer performers Kevin Le Grand Bailor and Lewis G. Burton: What makes a great play, performance, theatrical experience? Is it timing, delivery, words and rhythm, glorious settings or lack thereof? All of these elements in measure help to create a magic that can rivet an audience and submerge them in emotion, this balance has been beautifully achieved in the new Neil Bartlett play, Stella, at Hoxton Hall.

The play centres on the life of notorious late 19th Century female impersonator Stella and is performed in two strands; one by the young Stella who is giddily readying herself to celebrate her 21st birthday, and the other by an older Stella in her fifties who has resigned herself to treatment for the cancer that she expects to be the final chapter of her life.

The play opens with the older Stella (forcefully played by the exemplary Richard Cant) in a heightened emotional state as she twitches between lamentation of her youth and loves, her terror of going to hospital, and haughty recollections of the downward spiral of her life. Cant’s venerable and conflicted Stella is delivered in an all-too-believable manner as she emotionally recounts events in her life that have brought her to teeter on the precipice.

The young Stella (inhabited by Oscar Batterham) has youth on her side and is a far more flippant creature who has no worries of tomorrow or cares what others think, she is naive and reckless. Stella’s mother is an off-stage presence that is supportive of her son’s lifestyle giving practical advice, encouragement and living vicariously through Stella’s exploits. There is also the lover, Arthur, who is expected on this night to present Stella with a ring (wedding) to be worn with her new cerise pink ballgown. Arthur sends a note to say he will be late, which Stella sees as a dark omen and she sees their relationship as a tenuous and tortured thing.

So, yes, this is not a play to lighten your way, and in many ways, it plays to the tragic ending expected from a story about those who transgress society. But the truthful and powerful telling of Stella’s story is rewarding for an audience who are drawn in to sigh, breath and cry with our heroine. The sad and ignominious ending of Stella’s life for me is one that is thankfully in contrast to the fulfilled and rewarding lives that are lived by trans artists today. No longer does a Queer artist have to adopt a gender or personality to be accepted by society, their stories and journeys can now flow into the public consciousness, their humanity shared and appreciated.

Neil Barlett work reaches out across time and as he has said the presence of Stella haunted, possessed and urged him into writing this piece. Stella’s deft and adept manipulation of the Georgian society echoes the finding of ‘place’ for a new generation, as the plays timely examination of transgression echoes our era of trans people finding their political voice.

I invited two of VFD's favourite young Queer performers along to see their reactions to the play's theme, click here to watch Kevin Le Grand Bailor and Lewis G. Burton interview.

Stella runs until 18 June at Hoxton Hall.

Sun 7 - Tues 9 Aug: FREAK

A work in progress by Nathan Penlington Supported by Arts Council England

Sunday 7 Aug, 7.30pm Monday 8 Aug, 7.30pm Tuesday 9 Aug, 7.30pm

FREAK is stranger than fiction – a true story that reaches from depression era America, through the Ringling Bros and Barnum & Bailey Circus, the second world war, the phenomenon of Ripley’s Believe it or Not, and the burgeoning civil rights movements of the '50s and '60s.

This work in progress is told through a combination of live documentary, storytelling and magic. Nathan follows freak shows from the peak of their popularity, through controversies of human rights, and visits the oldest living sideshow operator in the USA.

It is an exploration of difference, tolerance, and the lives of tattooed ladies, rubber-skinned men, fat women, conjoined twins, and the ‘world’s strangest married couple’. Lives that turn the assumptions of exploitation and disability upside down.

Audiences are invited to see FREAK by author and performer Nathan Penlington at an exciting stage of its development.

£3 entry

Praise for Nathan’s previous work: 

'Deeply nostalgic and dazzlingly modern’ - The Independent ‘A directive to live actively and make choices’ - The New York Times 'An awkward, unusual, tender story about what it is to be awkward and unusual’ - The Times 'That rare creature, a truly lovely show’ - Evening Standard
