6.00 – 7.00pm
This evening the relationship between poetry and performance will be explored by artist Anna Barham, tap dancer Carrie Topley and poet Philip Terry.
Artist Anna Barham, performs Slick Flection (2012) with tap dancer Carrie Topley, a poem which borrows its structure from the annotation of a tap dance in which sylllables are reordered to the rhythms of voice and text. Poet Philip Terry, (Department of Literature, Film and Theatre Studies) will also add a subtle performative element to new work that takes its inspiration from Dante’s Inferno, re-set at the University of Essex. .
Literally, poetry in motion!
Please come along and join us at Art Exchange for an hour of performance and poetry over a glass of wine or beer.
