Club Urania is back! 

This October we’re hosting open-mics, a new performance by Babeworld, and Dior Clarke presents an extract of their work This Love Isn’t Taught, a black gay love story. All followed by dancing and soon to be announced DJ’s.  

Club Urania is committed to reducing barriers to access, providing pay-what-you-feel tickets, a decompression space at the venue, and live-captioning. We recommend booking to avoid disappointment.   

Previous seasons have featured brilliant, queer performances by Whiskey Chow, Catherine Hoffman, Harold Offeh, Pink Suits, Symoné, Wet Mess, Rebekah Ubuntu, Nando Messias, Jake Wood, Nat Raha, Duane Nasis, Cabbage the Clown, Vidya Patel, Zaki Musa, Emily Pope, Fatt Butcher and more!  

Club Urania is a collaboration between Cambridge Junction, Wysing Arts Centre, Roeland van der Heiden, Diarmuid Hester, and Celia Willoughby. 

Featuring: 

Babeworld are an art collective based across Stoke-on-Trent and London. Babeworld’s work entangles popular-culture inspired film, installation and sound design to interrogate themes of political and societal identity, disability/access, neurodivergence, sex work and race. Babeworlds research explores what it means to make, participate in and spectate art as marginalised individuals. Previous projects include No Sleep Just Clouds, The Art House, Wakefield (2024); Love is Real and It’s Inside Of my Computer, Grand Union, Birmingham (2024); and Voices of a Tempest, a group show curated by Anne Duffau at Somerset House, London (2023).  

At Club Urania, Babeworld will present a new performance exploring the ways we obsess over choices and decision making, through the game ‘would you rather’. 

Dior Clarke is an actor, writer, director and producer. They trained at The London School of Dramatic Arts, The National Youth Theatre and The Academy of Live Recorded Arts. Their first short film Batty Boy (2018) was made with Sky Arts, and their play Passion Fruit (2022) debuted at the New Diorama Theatre. For Club Urania, Clarke presents an extract of This Love Isn't Taught, a black gay love story examining identity and sexuality.
