And today’s ThisWeek-tipped, LDN-based events are…

Song Of Riots | Battersea Arts Centre | 13-17 Oct
This is a multi-media piece incorporating dance, music, poetry, acting and video projection, focusing on two young men from very different backgrounds – one comes from the inner city, the other from a fairy tale land. It’s a coming of age story that attempts to explore how boys mature, how they step across the gap into adulthood, and it sounds pretty compelling. See this page here for more info.

Abraham Cruzvillegas – Empty Lot | Tate Modern | 13 Oct-3 Apr
Well, you’ve got plenty of time to take in this exhibition, no need to all rush over there today; but this is Day 2, and you might as well get in there early. Mexican conceptual artist Abraham Cruzvillegas is providing the inaugural Hyundai Commission, a new series of annual site-specific commissions at Tate Modern, and that’s about all I can tell you really, because details are sketchy, though there’s some speculation that a big load of soil will be involved. See this page here for not-much-more info.

Emma Sidi – Character Breakdown | Pleasance Islington | 14 Oct-17 Oct (pictured)
This is, I believe, Emma Sidi’s first solo show, but it’s already received lots of positive reviews and glowing plaudits, plus… I don’t know… I just have a feeling that she’s going to go far. Great characters, great characterisation, great writing and a great performance. Find out more about the show, and book tickets, right about here.
