Quorum: Aoife Monks is thrilled to welcome Dr. Aoife Monks for this week's event. Dr. Monks will present an intriguing paper titled "Virtuosity is Ordinary - and Interesting." The paper delves into the realm of virtuoso performance, using Irish dancer Michael Flatley as a prime example. Virtuosity, a performance category that emerged in the 18th century, centers around the fantasy of an exceptional performer who astounds audiences with their technical expertise and seemingly superhuman abilities on stage. Dr. Monks explores why virtuosity often leads to imitation, impersonation, and mimicry. She questions why a category that claims originality is also a fertile ground for copying. Drawing on Raymond Williams' concept of the ordinary, Dr. Monks aims to shed light on the foundations of virtuosity. Additionally, she investigates the implications of virtuosity on audience engagement and the critical importance of studying virtuosos like Flatley. Dr. Aoife Monks, Director of the Queen Mary Centre for Arts, Culture and Creative Collaboration, and Reader in Theatre and Performance Studies, will present this hybrid event in person at Queen Mary University of London's Mile End campus in ArtsOne, RR2. Simultaneously, the event will be available online via Zoom. Please book a free ticket to secure your spot. For those attending in person, the event begins promptly at 18:00 and concludes around 19:00, followed by an invitation to enjoy refreshments and conversations.

Westminster Abbey

美好的你看世界

After watching the Buckingham Palace changing ceremony, we arrived at Westminster Abbey. There were a lot of people in the queue, about an hour and a half before entering the church. There is a interpreter at the door, you can choose Chinese. Follow the team and the interpreter is also explained. My favorite is the Matisse-style painting window. The staff in the church is very high quality and the temperament is very good, which is awe-inspiring.

Buckingham Palace is a must-visit for history lovers, featuring stunning architecture and beautiful gardens. The official residence of the British monarch, it dates back to 1703 and serves as the venue for royal ceremonies and events. Visitors can enjoy a glimpse into royal life, with the Changing of the Guard being a popular attraction.

I thought it was a special ride on the Ferris wheel, but the London Eye made me hit the face! When the capsule reached the highest point, I suddenly understood why the British love to chat. The Thames, Big Ben and the debris building look like they are shining in the sun, and it is really different every day. After landing, I found that the photos were all taken as glass reflections. Forget it, leave some regrets to be true.

Windsor Castle

The Queen&#39;s favorite palace is very luxurious, but it is not allowed to take pictures. It can only be taken outside. When entering, a photo was taken and was stopped by the staff. Knowing the life of the royal family, Windsor Castle is generally very quiet.
