In her show How (not) to Live in Suburbia, writer & performer Annie Siddons uses the metaphor of a walrus to describe her loneliness. In this cross disciplinary symposium, we look at loneliness through the practice of performance and the discipline of psychology.

Hosted by BA Theatre in collaboration with the School of Psychology, featuring a series of 20 minute academic papers from professionals in the industry, Q&A and discussion around the subject of loneliness and culminating in a live theatre performance by Annie Siddons.
