Arifa Akbar & Wendy Erskine: Wolf Moon
This event has been cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances.
Writer Arifa Akbar discusses her personal and artistic journey into the landscapes of night shifts, hidden night work and nightlife with author Wendy Erskine. Wolf Moon describes dance floors from London to Leeds to Berlin, and continues the conversations of our Dance Your Way Home summer season.
Arifa Akbar is chief theatre critic for The Guardian. Previously literary editor at The Independent and a trustee of the Orwell Foundation and English PEN, she’s currently a fellow of the London Centre for the Humanities.
Wendy Erskine’s debut novel, The Benefactors, follows prize-winning short story collections Dance Move and Sweet Home.
