Fat Kid Running.. Spoken Word by Katherine McMahon: Edinburgh
The Baker's Arms 87-91 Henderson Street, Edinburgh, Edinburgh EH6 6ED
A spoken word performance by the talented Katherine McMahon followed by a panel discussion.
What does it take to be at home in a body? How do you have fun moving in a world of body shaming and fat burning? Join Katherine McMahon as she takes you cross country on her journey from the fat kid skiving PE lessons, to a fat, fierce, feminist runner. This is not an inspiring before-and-after picture. It won’t make you thinner, or faster. It is a sometimes moving, sometimes funny, always honest exploration of the complicated business of being in a body. This spoken word performance will be followed by a panel discussion. Due to high demand, performances will take place in both Edinburgh (13th) and Inverness (15th).
Content notes: Descriptions of bullying, body shaming, pain / injury, anxiety, ableism. Use of expletives.
