Dana's Note
Dear Readers,
It's finally arrived! The full DaDaFest list! And in the middle of this supposed Indian Summer (so why am I still wearing my scarf then, why?) it's as bright and new and shiny as any Bollywood jewels.
Enjoy! Dana.

DaDaFest 2009 FULL PROGRAMME!
Resistance: Which Way the Future? Exhibition 17 November - 5 December Contemporary Urban Centre, The Annex, Liverpool L1 0BS
Tuesday - Saturday: 11am - 6pm, Sundays: 11am - 4pm Exhibition opens at 2pm on 17 November www.contemporaryurbancentre.org
Created by Liz Crow. Resistance is a national touring moving image installation exploring Aktion-T4, the Nazi mass-murder programme that led to the death of quarter of a million disabled people. Through the story of Elise, a woman who showed courage in the face of horror, we bear witness to one of the truly imperfect moments of the last century. Challenging a neglected part of our history whilst raising critical questions for today, Resistance is a disturbing, sometimes chilling work of art. It is also tender and hauntingly beautiful, delivering hope and a sense of promise for the future. The installation runs for 30 minutes, beginning at quarter past and quarter to every hour. 27th and 28th November : Linked event at the Bluecoat, School Lane, Liverpool, L1 3BX Telephone: 0151 702 5324 www.thebluecoat.org.uk.

Spastic Fantastic and Unshakeble Comedy Friday 27 November Tickets £7/ £5, 7.30pm Tullie House Museum, Castle Street, Carlisle, CA3 8TP Telephone: 01228 618718
Laurence flies in the face of a society that seems more concerned with political correctness and language than actually listening to disabled people. Earlier this year he attempted to reclaim the word ‘spastic' through the power of stand-up comedy and hidden camera stunts. He says: "Black people, gay men and lesbians have all reclaimed negative terms that were used about them in the past. It's about humour, irony and seizing power by taking ownership of words that were once used destructively". Two of the North West's best comedy performers appearing for one night only!

Written and performed by Paul Betney Directed by Keith Carter Script supervision by Laurence Clark It took doctors 18 years to figure out that Paul Betney had Parkinson's Disease. When the diagnosis finally came, the medication that followed brought his severe tremor under control. This was to be the beginning of a strange journey of self discovery as he slowly came to realise just what the tremor had meant to him and to ask what getting back to ‘normal' really means. Hard hitting, poignant and hilarious,
Unshakeable is the amazing true story of how one man's life was dramatically changed by some little yellow pills. Paul Betney started his stand up career in Tokyo. He then spent six months performing in the USA. He has returned to Liverpool and performs throughout the UK. He is also a cast member of Abnormally Funny People. ‘One of the discoveries of my Fringe. He buoys you with his enthusiasm. It's life-affirming.' JAY RICHARDSON, THE SCOTSMAN ‘...he has a perfect sense of timing for the duration of his expertly thought out set.' EMPORIUM OF MIRTH

Have a Taste of This sees another stage in the
continuing development of this remarkable musician. ‘In a world of derivative and imitative slide guitarists, Tom's sound is unique and special.' BOB BROZMAN
