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.

Did not get the chance to go in or close, as it was getting late and had some other places planned to visit. But it was a great achievement unlocked.

Westminster Abbey is a breathtaking historical masterpiece rich in culture and heritage. Its stunning Gothic architecture, intricate stained glass, and impressive royal tombs make it a must-visit. Walking through its halls feels like stepping back in time, with centuries of British history surrounding you. The atmosphere is both grand and peaceful, perfect for reflection. While it can be crowded, the experience is truly unforgettable. A visit here offers a deep appreciation of history, art.

The fast track was very fast, there was no waiting, and I scanned the code to enter when I arrived.
There were staff taking photos before entering the cabin, and after playing, I could make a souvenir book in the exit gift shop, which cost more than ten or twenty pounds.
It took about 20 minutes to go around.
There are many self-service machines in the visitor center where you can buy tickets by yourself.

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.
