Join artists Tom Nicholson and Khaled Sabsabi for a talk about their work in The National 2017. Then, using junk instruments, body percussion and our voices, we’ll learn to create rhythm and melodies together in our Social sounds workshop. Or you could catch the first film in our Straight-laced and scandalous series – the 1948 expressionistic masterpiece Oliver Twist.
