"The Democratic Set" The Junction are working with award-winning Australian company Back to Back Theatre to make a new film called The Democratic Set, and would love you to have your moving portrait taken for this alongside people from across Cambridge. The film explores social, political, and economic equity, rights, and opportunities, and they are working to ensure the film properly reflects the diversity of this city and our communities.

You are invited to spend time with the company at the Guildhall, between 1-3 November, to have your personal response filmed. This could be you on your own, in couples/duets or groups, using movement, sound, costumes or props. You can prepare your response in advance or make it the spur of the moment and on the day with the help of Back to Back Theatre’s Creative Team. On the day you’ll have 20 mins with the company to capture your 15 secs of fame (longer for big groups).

You will all be invited to the premiere of the resulting 20 minute film that will be at the end of January 2023 at a location TBC. Please get in touch at hires@junction.co.uk to reserve your slot or if you have any questions.

There is a light that never goes out

A fun and refreshing dusky lantern walk in nature on Halloween

Join David Lynch, Mindfulness Coach, and CPFT NHS FT Heart and Soul Chaplain John Nicholson on a 45-minute early evening Halloween walk in nature to reflect on your life and to cherish with gratitude the world about you.

You will be walking 500 metres from the heart of the Cambridge Biomedical Campus, meeting outside the front entrance to the Rosie Hospital, and walking with other mindful souls underneath the trees towards the light at the end, which is Nine Wells.

You don't have to register for this - you can just turn up! But if you register you will get reminders (and will also be informed if we have to reschedule for some reason).

This event is part of the ‘CBC Wellness Campaign’ – a series of webinars and events supporting the 21,000+ people who work on the Cambridge Biomedical Campus, many of whom are at the forefront of the changing face of healthcare. However, these events are also for anyone looking for additional support: you don't have to work here and there is no charge to attend. Register here
