Inua Ellams
Inua is an award winning poet and performer, a writer with a style influenced by classic literature and hip hop, by Keats as it is by MosDef. Rooted in a love for rhythm and language, he crosses 18th century romanticism and traditional story telling with contemporary diction, loose rhythm and rhyme. 2009 saw the debut of his first play ‘The 14th Tale’, which toured nationally, scooping a prestigious Fringe First Award at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival before returning to London for a sold-out run at the Cottesloe, National Theatre. His second play toured nationally for 30 dates including 2 weeks at Soho Theatre in October 2010. @InuaEllams
James Giles
Dr James Giles is a philosopher and psychologist, holds a doctorate from the University of Edinburgh, and is Lecturer in the University of Cambridge Institute for Continuing Education. He has taught at several universities in Canada, Australia, Guam, Hawaii, and Denmark, and has also travelled widely through India, China, South-East Asia, and the Pacific. Giles’ writings on philosophical psychology, metaphysics, and human relationships, are much discussed. He is best known for his version of the no-self view of personal identity, the naked love theory of human evolution, the vulnerability and care theory of love, and the idea of sexual desire as an existential need. Author to several works, including The Nature of Sexual Desire, Giles’ is typically interdisciplinary and intercultural in his research, drawing on such areas as philosophy, psychology, anthropology, and biology, while exploring their expression in different cultures. Only through such an approach, argues Giles, can we hope to understand the human condition. Giles is a long-term teacher and practitioner of yoga. @jamesgiles33

Jamie McDermott
Jamie created The Irrepressibles, a ten-member orchestral ensemble described by The Sunday Times as "an enchantingly theatrical pop extravaganza.” Brilliant interpreters of the cabaret tradition, they blend cutting edge fashion, contemporary electronica and gay iconography. With successful spectacular productions at the Southbank Centre, Barbican, Cite De La Musique in Paris, Holland Festival, and many other celebrated homes for innovative artists, The Irrepressibles have established themselves as blazing young talents in the world of international performing arts. The Irrepressibles recently continued their reputation as creators of arresting images with the video for their last single, ''Two Men In Love''. The video has had over 50,000 viewings-- despite Youtube censoring the video with an 'Over 18 only'' for its depiction of men kissing men, women kissing women. Their third album, the self-released, ‘’Nude’’ received rave reviews including the Independent who called the record ‘"An act of bravery in a cowardly world." www.facebook.com/TheIrrepressibles @Irrepressibles
Alexa Meade
Alexa is an American artist best known for her painted portraits. However, she works on an unusual canvas: the actual human body. And she takes a classical concept -- trompe l'oeil, the art of making a two-dimensional representation look three-dimensional—and turns it on its head. Her aim is to do the opposite, to collapse depth and make her living models into flat pictures. The result is walking, talking optical illusions, 3D paintings that confuse how the eye processes objects in space.
David Knight
David Knight is a designer, author, and director of the architectural practice DK-CM. Concerned with the production of the built environment, David's work spans design, criticism, research and activism. He teaches architecture at Kingston University and the Royal College of Art, where he is currently also working on a PhD called 'Making Planning Popular', and he has lectured, exhibited and published widely. David co-authored 'SUB-PLAN: A Guide to Permitted Development' (published 2009) and has recently written for Domus, Architecture Today, and Building Design.
