Whether you fancy a longer or shorter route, there is something for everyone:

- 5km group: Join at the halfway point at Guards Memorial (Horse Guards Rd) at 10.15
- 3km group (WALK): Join us at Apsley Gate (SE corner of Hyde Park) at 10.15, we will take a gentle walk through the park
We will all finish together by Queensway, and end the morning with a well-earned drink and snack at Blank Street Coffee. All are welcome to join us there, even if you did not join a run or walk group!
All participants should be comfortable jogging at a relaxed pace of around 6 to 7 min/km.

Sophie Tappeiner’s booth highlights the work of Zurich-based artist Jasmine Gregory, which explores tensions of artistic production and history of paintings and addresses absurd and abstracted notions of culture and commodity. Gregory was a finalist for the Swiss Art Awards 2023 and 2025.

The Hellenic Centre presents the UK première of RUSH(ES), a compelling new solo performance by renowned Greek-Swiss visual artist and choreographer Alexandra Bachzetsis. Conceived as an introspective journey, RUSH(ES) confronts behavioural taboos and interrogates the commodification of desire — constructed and deconstructed through the moving body.
Alexandra Bachzetsis, RUSH(ES), The Hellenic Centre, London W1U 5AS, 16 and 17 October 2025.
The piece is characterised by rapid transformations that push the body to its limits, reflecting pleasure, joy, solitude and anxiety through the intense physicality of the performer. In the process of corporeal metamorphosis, Bachzetsis navigates her body so that it ceases to be human and morphs into something else – an animal, an object, a tool.
Blending autofiction and auto–documentation, RUSH(ES) invites both performer and audience into a heightened state of awareness and transformation.
Tiran Willemse presents an intense, tension-filled solo. Through a focus on hand gestures, blackmilk complicates a mainstream repertoire of legible identities, evoking ‘black male melancholia’ and examining limiting stereotypes and shifting identities.
TIRAN WILLEMSE
