The average UK dress size is 14 -- 16 and yet the media feeds us a diet of skinnier = better.

Victor Quijada's choreography blurs the boundaries between urban, contemporary and classical dance. In Gravity of Center he has succeeded in containing the ferocity of hip-hop in a perfectly refined choreographic language.
Set to Stravinsky's seminal composition for the infamous 1913 ballet The Rite of Spring, this sensual and intense dance work by celebrated choreographer Meryl Tankard explores the conflicting forces of nature and man, masculinity and femininity, violence and nurturing, strength and vulnerability.
In just one generation, many age-old ideas about women have been swept aside -- but what does that have to do with men?
Michael Kaufman, co-founder of the White Ribbon Campaign, the largest effort in the world of men working to end violence against women, guides both men and women through an A to Z of feminism for men, in an hour of humour, serious conversation, story-telling and hard-hitting analysis.
This session was part of Southbank Centre's Women Of The World Festival 2013. More information: http://wow.southbankcentre.co.uk/events/the-guys-guide-to-feminism-sun/
