Screening of 'Frozen Atlantis' within the Utopia Now! Conference presented by the Faculty of English at the Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities.
Frozen Atlantis comes to the Schwarzman Centre on Friday 13 November, as part of the Utopia Now! conference. It's presented by the Faculty of English, and the whole thing is held within the Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities, so it sits right in the middle of the university's latest hub for the arts.
If the name sounds familiar, it's because Frozen Atlantis is the main feature of the evening, and it's also the title of the conference it belongs to. The Utopia Now! conference is a series of events brought together by the Faculty of English, and this is one of the sessions they're running as part of it. The conference itself looks at the idea of utopia — those imagined, perfect societies that have appeared in literature and thought for centuries — and asks what that looks like in the present day. Frozen Atlantis is one of the specific pieces they're using to explore that theme.
It's a Faculty of English production, so it's coming from the academic side of the university rather than a commercial theatre company. That usually means the focus is on the text and the ideas behind it, rather than a big, glossy production. The Utopia Now! conference is built around that same kind of curiosity, so this fits right in with the rest of the programme they've put together.

It runs at 19:00 on Friday 13 November, and the venue is the Oxford Cinema within the Schwarzman Centre, so you'll be in the cinema rather than a lecture hall or a theatre. If you're around Oxford that evening, it's a good one to keep on your radar — a Friday night in the city, and a chance to see what the Faculty of English has been working on.
