Girls' Night Out

Black Swan is a 2010 American psychological horror thriller film directed by Darren Aronofsky from a screenplay by Mark Heyman, John McLaughlin, and Andres Heinz, based on a story by Heinz. The film stars Natalie Portman in the lead role, with Vincent Cassel, Mila Kunis, Barbara Hershey, and Winona Ryder in supporting roles. The plot revolves around a production of Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake by the company of New York City Ballet. The production requires a ballerina to play the innocent and fragile White Swan, for which the committed dancer Nina Sayers (Portman) is a perfect fit, as well as the dark and sensual Black Swan, which are qualities better embodied by the new rival Lily (Kunis). Nina is overwhelmed by a feeling of immense pressure when she finds herself competing for the role, causing her to lose her tenuous grip on reality and descend into madness. The film received five nominations at the 83rd Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director (Aronofsky), with Portman winning Best Actress; it also received four nominations at the 68th Golden Globe Awards, including Best Motion Picture – Drama and Best Director (Aronofsky), with Portman winning Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama. In 2021, Portman's performance was included in The New Yorker's list of the best film performances of the 21st century. Please note we will not be showing the film at the meeting. Make sure you watch the film before you attend and then come and join in with the conversation. It’s just a discussion. It’s not a screening. We will be meeting in The Ludski Bar in the Rio Cinema.

In the cinema, before the opening credits roll - we’ll be running a few fun Shrek-themed games and activities to get you in the mood and separate the fans from the mega fans 🏆 Then it’ll be time to dim the lights, grab the popcorn and settle in for an evening in the kingdom of Far Far Away ✨ And of course, they’ll be plenty of chance to singalong to their legendary soundtrack and relive plenty of magical nostalgic moments!

**On Friday 5th June, we're hugely excited to be heading into the City of London for our latest Spy Hunt!** If you've never joined us for a themed "**[Chicken Rush](https://chickenru.sh/)**" event before, this event can best be described as a fun and awesome hybrid of a pub crawl, a scavenger hunt and a classic game of hide and seek. The main aim of the game is very simple: **find the spy, hiding in a top secret pub in London 🕵️** With the help of a circle around the spy's approximate location, that shrinks every 2 minutes - you’ll need to race in teams and go pub to pub to hunt the spy down. The first three teams to successfully find the spy earning a lion share of the points available. **But there's a couple of plot twists 🤫** If you enter a pub or bar that doesn't house the spy - at least two members of your team will have to buy a drink! And this is not just a simple race to find the spy as we've also prepared a series of spy-themed tasks and challenges that you can complete on the way, that can help you earn extra points. The team with the most points by the end of the game will be crowned the winners 🏆 It's always great fun and makes for a memorable night of Friday social fun, and so hopefully you can join us for this! \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- **WHERE/WHEN** Meet Point - Fen Court Garden, Fen Ct, City of London, London EC3M 5BN ([https://share.google/Rzr1xvwg0E5f2g6yA](https://share.google/Rzr1xvwg0E5f2g6yA)) Closest Tube station: Fenchurch Street (5 min walk), Monument (10 min walk), Tower Hill (10 min walk) Start Time - 6:45pm Finish time: 10:00pm **\- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \-** **JOIN THE COMMUNITY** Set up in November 2021, the project was set up to help 20s and 30s in London meet, connect and hopefully build life-long friendships.
