FREE FILM SCREENING: The Condition of the Working Class
A DOCUMENTARY FILM BASED ON THE BOOK BY FRIEDRICH ENGELS
This film is inspired by Engels’ book written in 1844, The Condition of the Working Class in England. How much has really changed since then? In 2012 a group of working class people from Manchester and Salford come together to create a theatrical show from scratch based on their own experiences and Engels’ book. They have eight weeks before their first performance. The Condition of the Working Class follows them from the first rehearsal to the first night performance and situates their struggle to get the show on stage in the context of the daily struggles of ordinary people facing economic crisis and austerity politics. The people who came together to do the show turned from a group of strangers, many of whom had never acted before, into The Ragged Collective, in little more than two months. This film, full of political passion and anger, is a wonderful testament to the creativity, determination and camaraderie of working people that blows the media stereotypes of the working class out of the water.

Liverpool Soul Full Reading Group
There are so many wonderful books out there that inspire, feed and teach us! You are invited to a reading group with a difference – a group where we can share our thoughts and views on a range of books and writers, where the common thread is of enabling us to have more fulfilling, meaningful and happier lives! For this first group we will be looking at ‘The Gifts of Imperfection: Let go of who you think you’re suppose to be and embrace who you are’ by Brene Brown, focusing on the introduction and the first section ‘Courage, Compassion, and Connection: The gifts of imperfection’. Available HERE: http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=0bvm3UgSlQcC&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_ge_summary_r&cad=0#v=onepage&q&f=false Here’s a couple of lines from the introduction to whet your appetite: ‘If you’re thinking great. I just need to be a superhero to fight perfectionism, I understand. Courage, compassion and connection seem like big, lofty ideals. But in reality, they are daily practices that, when exercised enough, become these incredible gifts in our lives’. The group will be relaxed and informal. It’s not a test on your knowledge of the book...it’s an opportunity to enjoy sharing our thoughts, our views and ideas and connect with each other! Attendance is free with refreshments provided Feel free to contact us: 01517072277
