Welcome to
Southbank Centre.
HIGHLIGHTS MARCH 2016
WOW 2016
When we started WOW: Women of the World six
years ago, we could never have predicted how
many people – women, men, girls and boys –
would support it. Now the festival is in 15
countries and nine UK regions and still growing.
We’re thrilled to be back this year with the likes
of Caitlin Moran, Annie Lennox, Baroness
Doreen Lawrence, and the world premiere of
Eve Ensler’s Fruit Trilogy.
Also back are two more of our great festivals:
Chorus, a celebration of the many different
choirs and ensembles in the UK; and Urban,
the best of the music, dance, sport and visual
culture born from the streets.
Jude Kelly CBE
Artistic Director, Southbank Centre

WOW: Women of the World returns for another year of
passionate debate, heartfelt storytelling and fun.

WE CAN
BE HEROES
Whether it’s a boss, a celebrity, a
relative, an artist, a friend or a fictional
character, most people can think of a
woman who inspires them. Ask your
friends about their personal heroines
and you might hear about women
who’ve been famous for a while –
Elizabeth I, Joan of Arc, Rosa Parks,
Elizabeth Bennett – newcomers
to the hall of fame, like J K Rowling
and Beyoncé, and women who have
only recently become celebrated for
their achievements, like 19th-century
computer programmer Ada Lovelace,
or scientist Rosalind Franklin.
This year’s WOW festival packs in
plenty of events looking at historical
heroines alongside our personal
inspirations. Multi medal-winning
Paralympian Tanni Grey Thompson
talks about her sporting idols, and a
panel of heroic women talk about the
women they aspire to be like in our
WOW Schools event.
We asked some of the participants
in WOW 2016 about their own
personal heroines.
WOW 2016 TAKES PLACE FROM TUESDAY 8 – SUNDAY 13 MARCH
2
Music legend Annie Lennox is
known for decades of recordbreaking hits, and her work
for social causes, such as
awareness of HIV as it affects
women and children in Africa.
Who is your historical or
contemporary heroine and what
did she achieve?
There are countless contemporary
heroines in the world today who
mostly go unseen and unnoticed, but
if I were to name just one, then Eve
Ensler would be at the top of my list.
Eve is an absolute champion feminist
campaigner. Besides writing the
groundbreaking play, The Vagina
Monologues, she went on to create
V-Day, a global activist movement
which has raised over $100 million
and educated millions around the
world on the issue of violence against
women and girls. As well as V- Day,
she established One Billion Rising,
the global day of action which
galvanises women and men towards
ending gender-based violence.
V-day has funded over 13,000
community-based anti-violence
programmes and safe houses in
countries such as Haiti, Kenya,
Egypt, Iraq and the Democratic
Republic of Congo.
There are 757 million adults
who cannot read or write a
sentence – two out of three of
these are women.
What battles do you think remain
for today’s heroines?
PS - of course men can be heroic
feminists too! There are 757 million
adults who cannot read or write a
sentence – two out of three of these
are women. In Africa, 28 million girls
are not in education and will never
step inside a classroom. Women
around the world aged 15 – 44 are
more at risk from rape and domestic
violence than from cancer, car
accidents, war and malaria.
Annie Lennox appears in conversation
on 12 March as part of WOW 2016.

Calls cost 7p per minute plus your
phone company’s access charge.
Mari Hannah is the author of the Kate Daniels
series of detective novels.
Who is your historical or contemporary heroine and what did
she achieve? Why do you admire her?
The one that stands out for me
is aviation pioneer and author,
Amelia Earhart, a woman of
true courage who fulfilled her
destiny as the first female to fly
solo across the Atlantic Ocean.
This relatively young woman
from a small town in Kansas
became a legend worldwide,
an inspiration to all. I admire
her spirit and strength of
character. Not content with her
achievements in the air, she
went on to campaign for
women’s acceptance in the
field of aviation.
Do you have any fictional role models, and if so, who are they?
Asking me that question is like asking if I need oxygen. DCI Kate
Daniels is on my list, of course, but I’m guessing you’re after
someone else’s creation. We can all look up to Agatha Christie’s
kindly, sharp and logical Miss Marple; PD James’ young,
intelligent and dynamic Cordelia Gray; Lynda La Plante’s clever
DCI Jane Tennison, forced to fight hard against sexism in the
workplace.
Mari Hannah headlines Polari, London’s leading LGBT literary
salon, on 9 March, as part of WOW 2016.
Author and sociologist
Michael Kimmel is an
expert on masculinity and
advocate of male support
for women’s rights.
contemporary heroine and
what did she achieve?
Why do you admire her?
Sojourner Truth, the first
intersectionalist, who spoke the
simplest of words, ‘ain’t I a
woman?’ and changed
everything forever. Edna St
Vincent Millay, a brilliant poet,
unafraid to go for it, emotionally,
sexually, poetically. Gloria
Steinem, a clear-eyed visionar y
who has always given credit to
others for building this
movement. Anita Hill, who
named something that had been
going on for decades (sexual
harassment of working women)
and withstood so much filthy
vitriol thrown her way. Her
courage enabled women all over
the country to tell others what
they had experienced.
What battles do you think
remain for today’s heroines?
What needs to change for
women in 2017?
Freedom to live authentically,
to experience life fully, to make
choices and be agents without
obstacles related to
circumstances of birth (class,
race, religion, gender, sexuality).
Obstacles? Those experiences
that inhibit our ability to live
more authentically: women’s
fear of violence, lack of adequate
policies to enable balancing
work and family and overt
discrimination.
Michael Kimmel speaks about
why gender equality is important
for men too as part of WOW 2016.
Nimco Ali is co-founder
of Daughters of Eve,
an organisation that
campaigns against
female genital
mutilation and
supports women who
have undergone FGM.
My heroine right now is my
four-year-old niece Sofia. In
her is the strength and self
belief that she can do and be
whatever she wants to be. The
freedom and fearlessness in
her reminds me of Arawelo,
who ruled over what is today
known a Somalia/
Somaliland. Like many female
rulers, Arawelo fought for
female empowerment and
was one of the earliest rulers
in the world who was also a
figure of female empowerment.
But unlike Arawelo, I hope
Sofia’s fierceness is
celebrated as she grows up
and not feared, mocked and
written out of history.
I want girls and young
women to know that
they are always enough
and no act of violence
against women and girls
defines them.
How would you hope to
inspire other women
yourself?
I hope I give other women the
faith in themselves that our
society seems to want to
knock out of them. I want girls
and young women to know
that they are always enough
and no act of violence against
women and girls defines them.
Nimco Ali speaks about social
activism as part of WOW 2016.

organise everything for as little as £2,450.

We’re inviting happy couples to get
married together on the famous
Royal Festival Hall stage, before
enjoying a spectacular party. It’s
a chance to feel like a star as you
enjoy your big moment on the stage
where legends like Jimi Hendrix,
Stevie Nicks and Miles Davis
performed, in a building loved by
millions of Londoners.
THE BIG DAY
Big Wedding Weekend
takes place on
Saturday 27 August 2016,
as part of Southbank
Centre’s dazzling
Festival of Love.
*Extra guests can be invited at additional cost
Over 100 couples have got married with us to date.
We asked some of them about the experience…
Jon and Sinéad
Caroline and Simon
‘Our two sisters, who lived in a
shared house in Camden,
thought we'd be perfect together
so they cunningly devised a ruse
to set us up on a blind date.
Despite Caroline tripping on her
heels 20 yards along the road
(and literally falling for Simon) we
took a chance on a second date in
Brighton where Simon
romantically held Caroline's
hand on the roller-coaster – well
actually, to be honest, it was fear!
‘Seventeen years later, we
wanted to celebrate our
partnership with a really grand
gesture and what could be more
spectacular than [to do it] on the
stage with a choir and an organist
at one of London's most iconic
20
venues. There were so many
memorable moments, from the
morning preparation through to
the speeches and the evening
reception. However, walking
down the aisle followed by our
three children to the fanfare of
music and the cheering of the
crowd really did set the heart
soaring.’
‘We had our son, Levi, in
March and time (and money)
was always going to be an
issue when planning a
wedding. The package that
the Big Wedding Weekend
offered was fantastic and the
price was excellent too. Plus
we got to get married at a
world-famous music hall in a
fantastic and different way!
We had known each other for
a few years but bumped into
each other on a night out and
it was pretty obvious there
was something there straight
away. Sinéad texted her
friend that night to say she
had met the man she was
going to marry... and she had!
‘The ceremony was
magnificent. The music, the
setting, the atmosphere,
seeing all the other couples
and their guests and being
able to share our special
moments together… it was
truly incredible.’
‘To be on the great stage was truly
memorable... It was such a special moment
for both of us and our friends and family.’
Rita and Rob
Since 1951, Royal Festival Hall has
seen the best artists in the world take
to its stage. Here are just a few of the
famous names who have stood in the
spot where you’ll say ‘I do’.
Kate Bush
Miles Davis
Bob Dylan
Stevie Nicks
Joni Mitchell
Daniel Barenboim
David Bowie
Jacqueline du Pré
Patti Smith
Rosie and Sara
Rita and Rob
‘It was Rita's birthday and I,
Rob, had just moved to the
area. I spotted Rita walking
past me in the local pub and
jumped up to buy her a drink.
We couldn't stop smiling at
each other and nearly three
years to the day, we were
smiling again on stage at the
Royal Festival Hall.
auditorium, music, art and
views were amazing.
‘We wanted to do something
special and we love the South
Bank. When we found out
that there was going to be a
wedding weekend, we
jumped at the chance.
Coming in for the rehearsal,
we knew straight away it was
the venue for us. The staff,
‘To be on the great stage was
truly memorable. When we
were signing the register, the
choir sang 'It must be love',
and as we turned around, the
whole audience were on their
feet singing to us! It was such
a special moment for both of
us and our friends and family.’
‘We met courtesy of DIVA
magazine! For two years we
spent weekends alternating
between Southampton and
Aberystwyth. Rosie kept
telling Sara that moving to mid
Wales would be the best thing
she ever did and eventually
Sara agreed with her.
‘Our first meeting was at
Waterloo station, so getting married at Southbank Centre,
14 years later, felt like completing the circle. The whole day was
fabulous. If I had to choose a favourite bit, walking down the
‘aisle’ at the start was pretty amazing!’
