At BPH, we're keen to encourage creative connections, expand networks and see exciting work locally and nationally through our Go & See series. This October we have not just one, but three trips planned!
Tickets are limited and places are competitive, so we offer tickets randomly through a ballot process as this is the fairest way to allocate them. We draw each ballot independently, so you can enter to attend as many trips as you like. All we ask is that you know you can definitely attend when you enter each ballot.

About each show
WRESTLELADSWRESTLE
WRESTLELADSWRESTLE, a new live performance by acclaimed artist and choreographer Jenni Jackson, explosively combines theatre, dance, judo and pro-wrestling to transform T2 into a battleground of joy and reclamation.
Inspired by her Bolivian mother, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and entertainment wrestling, Jenni dares to confront and reimagine a ‘historical’ racist incident she witnessed her mother endure when she was a child.
Jenni draws on her real-life teenage career as the under 50kg British Judo Champion and brings an almighty Girl Gang of 30 women to join her in this ambitious and exhilarating theatrical event.

Rokia Koné
One of Mali’s most beloved and dynamic artists, Koné is a force to be reckoned with. Her captivating performances in the city’s local maquis clubs very often last for hours, as Koné runs the gamut of emotion from joy to despair, fury to tenderness, wielding that astounding voice with grace and power.
Accompanied by maestro Malian guitarist Salif Koné and a bed of Mandé percussion, audiences will have a unique opportunity to witness a once-in-a-generation vocalist up close, in an atmospheric setting left wide open for improvisation and epic musical storytelling.

FAQs
Our Go & See trips are popular, so the fairest way to allocate tickets is through a ballot process. Please enter each ballot via the links at the top of this page. Once the ballot closes, we allocate tickets through random selection. Each ballot is drawn independently so you can apply for as many trips as you like.
N.B. Please only apply if you know you can attend. If you’re allocated a ticket and do not attend without 48 hours’ notice, we may need to charge you for your ticket.
Ticket costs are covered as part of our Go and See trips. However, we realise other costs may cause a barrier to you being able to attend – and we can help with that.
We have travel and access funds available to make these opportunities as accessible to as many people as possible. Please let us know what you need after entering the ballot by completing our Bursary and Access fund request form. Please note that bursaries are not available for these Go & See trips.
Things we can cover:
Access costs: additional costs you may have to enable you to attend; things like disability support, interpretation, or childcare.
Travel costs: if you have any other associated travel costs that you need assistance with, please let us know in your entry.
We do not means-test or ask you to prove that you need this financial support, but where possible we need to agree in advance on what costs we will cover, and you will need to provide receipts to claim costs back from us. Please only apply for these if you need to, as this will ensure we can provide funds to those who really need them.
