Anthropocene – New Poetic Performances
We’re absolutely delighted to premiere our three new poetry-led performance commissions in association with the National Theatre of Scotland! Investigating the theme of ‘Anthropocene: the Human-Altered World’, each performance explores poetry in conversation with a different artistic discipline.
The newly devised pieces will showcase inventive cross-disciplinary work ranging from film to electronica with new performances from Iona Lee and Nikki Kent, Garry Mackenzie and Sam Firth, and Taylor Dyson, James Wyness, Calum Kelly and Craig Aitchison.
This event will be BSL interpreted and livestreamed.
In association with the National Theatre of Scotland and supported by the Garrick Charitable Trust.
