[Cue dramatic music]
Just when you've been complaining that not enough poets/ people in general collaborate across disciplines....
[building up]
just when you've been writing a chapter for a book on the need for interdisciplinary both within and outside of academia...
[peak crescendo]
and just when you said you'll be involved in just one more public gig before the end of the year...
[dun dun duuuuhhh!]
EXPERIMENTAL WORDS
According to the flyer, this is a high-energy collision of science and spoken word. Bang! Whoosh! (etc.)
According to me, this has been an opportunity to team up with the brilliant Dr Jess Wade, share ideas about her research on LEDs - and how to find poetry within it - and combat the fear of physics and biology I've harboured since falling asleep during my GCSE exam at 16 (long but true story). I can't really divulge too much else, except for the fact that we'll be creating some multimedia magic on stage this evening, along with other poet/scientist teams.
So... sign up to the waitlist here (there's a waitlist as it's SOLD OUT!) or just turn up and hope for the best, or better yet, stay plugged into the website to see what it's all about and to stay up to date on the ticket situation. There's also info about previous events in other cities - and the project will hopefully appear in other places too!
In the meantime, here's a link to the poem I wrote in collaboration with Jess after our first conversation.
And here's a lovely trailer for the project:
