19:00 | Sancho & Me - for One Night Only A special launch event for Think Human 2024 Oxford Brookes University’s Think Human Festival is extremely proud to present our Chancellor, Paterson Joseph, in Sancho & Me - for One Night Only. A performance by Paterson Joseph, alongside Ben Park, a composer, performer and educator who has written, produced and performed extensively for film, television, dance and theatre. The performance is built around Paterson's critically-acclaimed debut novel, The Secret Diaries of Charles Ignatius Sancho, based on the true story of the 18th-century writer and composer who became the first known person of African descent to vote in a British parliamentary election. The show is a partly improvised performance, delivered directly to the audience and explores ideas of belonging, language, education, slavery, commerce, violence, threat, politics, music and love – and where these themes intersect with Paterson’s own story of being Black and British. | The Old Fire Station, Oxford |
