In conversation: ‘Gaze’ at Edinburgh Fringe

Earlier this year, over 40 Bristol students geared up to strut and fret upon the stage before crowds of strangers as part of the annual Edinburgh Fringe theatre festival. One of the productions representing Bristol University was the show Gaze written and directed by Lilly Camyab, which was quoted by the BBC as receiving praise for its ‘“great acting and sharp dialogue”’.

The show was initially written as a small piece for the University of Bristol’s Falstaff Society, before Lilly got the chanc

‘Home is where the art is’: The impact of art in forming community

Recently, I got a little drunk and a little philosophical with a friend of mine and we started talking about what it was that attracted us to the arts. As two students of English literature, we both agreed unquestioningly on our gut feeling that art was important but found we struggled to convey exactly why we felt this way. Eventually, I produced an explanation we could both agree on: ‘I think because at its core, it’s all about people’, I said. ‘Ultimately, it’s all about who’s making it or ho

"If you're happy everything else will fall into place" - In conversation with The Undertones

From the release of their first album way back in 1979 to their compilation album of 2022, The Undertones’ music has always been the sound of carefree adolescent recklessness.

Overcoming the Feeling of Lost Productivity During the Holidays

Isabel Williams explores the complicated emotions that many students face once the exam season concludes, discussing the science behind these feelings and what we can do to combat them.

Review: Girli @ Thekla

If you asked one of Girli’s fans to describe her image in one word, it would almost certainly be “pink”. The colour is central to the artist’s branding, and rightfully so, as it communicates much about both her music and her persona as an artist: bright, brash, and unapologetically hyper-feminine.

Whilst her exterior may seem tough, the artist never shies away from baring the soft underbelly of her personality, with lyrics that touch upon breakups, backstabbing friends, the pressures of modern

Infinity Pool is a satirical body horror that falls short of its potential

In Brandon Cronenberg’s latest cinematic release Infinity Pool (2023), sci-fi body horror and a Victorian-esque fear of the foreign combine to create a psychologically unnerving story of extreme exploitation.

When the central protagonist, unsuccessful novelist James Foster (Alexander Skarsgård), arrives looking for inspiration at an exclusive seaside resort in the fictional country of Li Tolqa, the last thing he expects to encounter is Gabi (Mia Goth): an actress who is a regular at the resort
