Holy Hiatus, published by Parthian in September 2010, will be launched at a symposium entitled 'Holy Hiatus: performing ritual, community and place' at the Small World Theatre in Cardigan on 25-26 September.

A two-day interdisciplinary symposium organised in conjunction with PlaCe Research Centre, The University of West England, this event will explore the vital role that ritual plays in creatively re-imagining places and our relationships to them.

It features illustrated talks, performative lectures and workshops led by specialists in the creative arts, humanities and social sciences. Leading up to the symposium, on Friday 24th September 3.30 - 9 pm, a movement and sound workshop will take place at Small World Theatre led by Maura Hazelden and Lou Laurens.
