English

English invites its audience into a conversation with performer Jonny Cotsen (Louder Is Not Always Clearer), inspired by language lessons and conversations with migrants in Wales and across the UK who learn English, whether for business, for pleasure, to study or for survival. A joyous, intimate, provocative encounter, English asks how language shapes us all, and what happens to our sense of self when we learn a new language, and don’t really know how to say who we are. This exuberant A to Z of language and identity – made in bilingual Wales, but with a global perspective – will pull apart pop songs, tear grammar to pieces and invite all the languages in the room to be heard.

This event takes place at The Dance House
