   Every Saturday 11.30-1.30pm: OXFORD PSC STALL in Cornmarket by St Michael at Northgate church. The OPSC Saturday street stall on Cornmarket Street is one of the main ways we use for raising the issue of Palestine with the public at large. It is an important activity

    •  
      for offering information leaflets to the public, inviting them to join PSC or leave their email for Oxford PSC updates. Generally we are there 11:30 to 13:30. Always a minimum of two people on shift. Please consider volunteering for a shift: it’s an opportunity to meet other PSC members, those wanting information and occasionally those wishing to challenge our views, even volunteering for one shift a year would help.

      Faraway, So Close

5 & 6 Dec, 7.30pm (Doors 7pm) Three young friends, three national identities – Israeli, Palestinian, British – reconnect after ten years apart. As they seek refuge from the violence unfolding around them in Jerusalem, the ghosts of the past emerge, forcing them to confront the politics of the present.

Faraway, So Close is a compelling, new physical theatre piece, exploring the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Britain’s legacy in the region and what this might mean for British citizens today. At times hard-hitting, at times humorous and playful, it combines physical-theatre, theatre, dance, sound and video projection to immerse the audience in aspects of this complex, contemporary conflict.

Devised and directed by emerging theatre director Amy Hailwood, Faraway, So Close is inspired by travel to Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories and based on interviews with Israeli, Palestinian and other human rights activists. This performance is the premiere of the piece.

Three post-performance workshops are available on 11th, 12th and 13th December, exploring the themes of Faraway, So Close in an informal educational setting. http://www.oldfirestation.org.uk/event/faraway-so-close/
