Josephine is putting on a play - Boris and Sistahl help. It's about anorexia. But don't let that put you off.
Unflinchingly they confront big issues (and extremely tiny ones). Today they will tackle a particularly thin elephant in the room. Obsession, addiction and not wanting to get out of bed: a play with songs from 'You're Not Like Other Girls Chrissy' creator Caroline Horton.
2012 Stage Award Winner for Best Ensemble.
Caroline has been nominated for a 2013 Olivier Award for her solo show 'You're Not Like The Other Girls Chrissy'

The Paper Cinema's Odyssey returns to Battersea Arts Centre after a highly successful national tour.
Raging storms and supernatural forces prevail over one man's almighty quest to get home. Homer's cornerstone of literature is vividly told with beautiful illustration and masterful puppetry. Cinematic projection and cunning tricks transform a suitcase full of cut-out paper puppets into an array of living characters and striking landscapes. A silent film is created before your eyes, set to a captivating live score from exceptional musicians.

"Reclaim the heavens! Cities in the sky! Concrete solutions!"
Immersed in the social idealism of the 1960's, two architects believe they can design life. They move into the tower block they have created, engineered to encourage kinship and social harmony. As the building degenerates and Community breaks down, who should be held responsible?
Fusing playful dark humour with tragic scope, Let Slip/ Crank bring their irreverent and visually arresting style to explore the legacy of Britain's tower blocks.
