Preparing for the Poets

Apples and Snakes is England's leading organisation for performance poetry and spoken word. The organisation runs performance poetry events, educational workshops and provides top quality training and artist opportunities.

Since January of this year Apples and Snakes have been using Floor 5 @ Norham House as a space for a monthly Newcastle ‘Scratch Club’.   Throughout the afternoon poets gather to share skills and develop new techniques, and then at 7pm they strut their stuff to an invited audience and ask for some constructive feedback.

This Sunday is going to be the last Scratch Tyne hosted by F5 @ NH – when the next scratch event takes place the F5 gang will have moved to their new base at Commercial Union House.  So.  We’re going to make tomorrow both lively and lovely.

Schedule is simple;

For information about ‘the rehearsal bit’ go to FB @ https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=128383070576432

Information about ‘the performance bit’ is as follows;

• Guests welcome from 6.30pm
• Performances @ 7pm
• Shared food & creative chat @ 8pm.  

(If you want to stay for food please bring a couple of gold coins to put in the pot).

And all through today we’re preparing the space, because we want to make tomorrow a bit special. We’re thinking the projection of poetry films during & after the food.

.... oh yes.  It’s going to be lovely and lively.

Scratch Tyne is private event.

Wilkommen bei dem Blogspot des Spill Culture Clubs (Der Auslauf Kulturklub)

‘Spill’ (‘der Auslauf‘) ist ein Werksprogramm, das Kreativität vom neuen innerstädtischen Kulturzentrum "cultural hive" in ungewönlichen Räume der Innenstadt Newcastle upon Tyne auslaufen lässt. Der Spill Culture Club ist der Motor dieser Arbeit – ein Netzwerk von Künstlern, diebei  vielfältigen  anspruchsvollen Kunstprojekten zusammenarbeiten wollen, und gleichzeitig eine Plattform für Menschen, die wissen wollen, wo und was angesagt ist.

Die Einführung des Spill Culture Clubs hat am 26. Juni 2011 stattgefunden und Infos zu uns und den zusammenarbeitenden  Künstlern finden Sie weiter unten. Wir sind am Anfang unseres Weg und haben noch keinen mehrsprachige Internetpräsenz. Aber wir arbeiten daran.

Der Projektleiter Joe Price
