2 years post the introduction of our online mindfulness events, we’re excited to explore the various paths ventured towards looking after our wellbeing. So far, we’ve ourselves hosted mindfulness workshops, soundbaths, a Pilates session and DJ set – with the aim of exploring other modalities/avenues. A venue I’ve genuinely wanted to visit for the past few years now, Go Banya have very kindly invited Theatre Full Stop to explore their approach to wellbeing and we therefore look forward to visiting the venue in the near future.
Established in 2012, Go Banya draws from a millenia-old Russian tradition. A staple of the culture, Banya, translating as ‘sauna’ consists of a ‘Parilka’ – a steam room furnished with a wood-fired stove that heats stones consistently doused with hot water to maintain optimum heat. The ‘Venik Ritual’, a signature component incorporating a bundle of tree leaves used to encourage better blood circulation and smoother skin and lastly a ‘cold plunge’, consisting of one submerging themselves into an ice cool pool of water to support the immune system and support with muscle recovery. Included also in this unique experience is the chance to sample the Banya’s tasting menu as well participate in specially curated events.
Deadline: Sunday 5 October 2025

The polar bear, known as Ursus Maritimus or sea bear has become one of the most recognised symbols of climate change as a result of their natural habitat, the Arctic drastically melting away and sea levels rising as a consequence. With estimations placing the number of polar bears at 26,000 worldwide, the risk of this number dwindling further persists. Alongside climate change, other contributing factors impacting the polar bear’s existence include – commercial activities, conflicts with people, pollution, disease, inadequate habitat protection and the potantial for over-harvest in smaller or declining polar bear populations (Polar Bears International). An exploration of this disheartening reality, Disney animator, writer and director Aaron Blaise presents Oscar 2026 Qualifying short film Snow Bear, a literal, as well as metaphorical tale about a lonely polar bear’s search for connection amid crisis.
