Meet our performers

• Paris Jensen, Original Music - "Paris writes lyrical folk songs about the search for freedom and the struggle against anxiety. She has carried her guitar from Death Valley USA to Hanoi, farms in New Zealand to champagne bars in her namesake city."
• Shreya Mohapatra, Stand-Up Comedy - "A stand-up sketch by someone who did stand-up one time and rode that high for 8 straight years before braving it again."
• Misha Seong, Original Music - "Tentatively Potato Band is a one-man project by a PhD student who gets heartbroken a little too often. To cope, said PhD student / Potato writes songs, some of which appear under this act. Some songs are crispy; others, mushier. These days, he writes indie-folk-y songs — though once upon a time, he wanted to be a rapper. Instagram: @tentatively_potato."
• Kiara Tay, Original Poetry - "Kiara Tay is a poet whose prose and wit rival Rupi Kaur's. She seeks to connect with people with her light-hearted, funny, and sometimes meaningful poetry."
• Roshni Lakhani, Singing - "Roshni Lakhani is a singer from India with a Trinity College of London Grade 7 certification in Rock and Pop Vocals. She has been teaching vocals for the last 5 years and loves performing on stage. She also enjoys doing playback, and has lent her voice for videos and advertisements as well as for the title track of a movie. In lieu of the cozy winter weather, Roshni is bringing some songs that speak to the spirit of the season."
• Apoorva Bora, Poetry Reading - "According to UN women, every 10 minutes, partners and family killed a woman or a girl intentionally in 2023. My act is a bilingual poetry piece performed in ‘Hindi and English’ around this."
• Meghna and Arundhati, Dance Duet - "This performance is a self-choreography and the song is taken from Youtube. The song is Sapphire by Ed Sheeran featuring Arjith Singh."
• Zion Richardson, Spoken word/Rap - "Performing under the stage name Z Rich, Zion blends spoken word and rap to deliver reflective, storytelling driven performances about ambition, growth, and navigating life as a young creative. His style mixes smooth lyricism with conversational energy, creating a vibe that feels personal, grounded, and uplifting. Z Rich’s set brings a mix of rhythm, honesty, and momentum that invites the audience into his world while keeping the room fully engaged."

More about this event

Just economics and politics? Think again. While LSE does not teach arts or music, there is a vibrant cultural side to the School - from weekly free music concerts in the Shaw Library, and an LSE orchestra and choir with their own professional conductors, various film, art and photographic student societies and regular public exhibitions.
