Friends Deciding To Do Stuff
Poetry - But Not As You Know It!

We’re talking about poetry as a catalyst for exchange/collaboration between poets, artists and audiences. We’re talking poetry as a springboard, poetry as conversation starter, poetry as pick up line; we’re talking poetry as any number of approaches and possible art collaborations – verbal, physical, intellectual, visual, ephemeral, social, political, mechanical, transcendental, musical – where we re-imagine the reading.

Works in progress by Artists and Poets:
Amy Turton, Klare Lanson, Tara Gilbee, Adam Ford, Penny Larkins, Bronwyn Blaiklock and
Emilie Collyer

Performance Venue & Dates:
Saturday April 14th at 2.30pm
ICU-1 Halford Street, Castlemaine
