New Writing from Aberdeen
|
Wordfringe presents two evenings at the Aberdeen Arts Carnival showcasing new writing
from Aberdeen and North-East Scotland
Admission £3
one ticket covers both nights
|
|
In recent years the literary scene in Aberdeen has been flourishing, and there are
probably more active writers' groups in the city than ever before. Come along to
this two-part Arts Carnival showcase event to hear some of the best new writing
from Dead Good Poets, Aberdeen Writers' Circle, Portal Creative Writers, Anything
Prose, Spring Tides Poetry Group, Lemon Tree Writers, Huntly Writers, Deeside Writers
and Ellon Wordies.
Each evening features a variety of poets and fiction writers reading from their
work, and there will also be a multimedia element to each show. On Monday night
poet Maureen Ross reads her poem Messenger with dance and instantaneous video
from Leán Coetzer and music from Haworth Hodgkinson in a performance first
seen at Duff House during this year's Wordfringe festival. Also transferring from
Wordfringe, on Tuesday night the Blue Salt Collective and dancer Mhairi Allan bring
a segment from their show originally given at the Museum of Scottish Lighthouses,
and a preview of their show for the See, Salt and Sound festival in Aberdeen
in September. The Blue Salt Collective combines poetry with projected images, live
music and dance.
