Facilitated by Australian film-maker\/curator Marie Craven<\/strong>, and actor\/writer Claudia Larose-Bell<\/strong>, this workshop will discuss different approaches to combining poetry, film and performance, and the challenges and rewards of collaboration across art forms.<\/p>\n

Participants will be asked to bring one of their previous creative works, as poets, film-makers, performers, or any other art form. In addition they will be asked to bring a new idea for a poetry film they would like to make. Marie and Claudia will facilitate group discussion and feedback on the creative work shared, giving rise to a group brainstorming session on how next to develop the poetry film projects of each participant.<\/font><\/p>\n

Perspective in Poetry: Kimberly Reyes<\/b><\/font><\/center><\/p>\n

Cost is \u20ac15. To book a place, please email info@obheal.ie<\/a><\/font><\/b><\/center><\/p>\n

In this workshop we’ll be critiquing a persona poem and a poem told in the third person that handle perspective in incredibly affecting ways. We’ll be looking at works from Gwendolyn Brooks and Frank Bidart to see how they step into the life of another to foster empathy through unexpected perspectives. We’ll be working with prompts to help us discover new and interesting perspectives from which to write. What does it take to write a poem of artistic and historical importance from another’s perspective? How can that enhance our ability to relate to each other and ourselves? Let’s find out!<\/font><\/p>\n

Kimberly Reyes<\/strong><\/font> is an award-winning poet, essayist, and second-generation New Yorker whose work has appeared in The Atlantic, The Associated Press, Entertainment Weekly, Time.com, The New York Post, The Village Voice, Alternative Press, ESPN the Magazine, Jane, NY1 News, The Best American Poetry blog, poets.org, The Feminist Wire<\/i>, and Columbia Journal<\/i>, among other places. <\/p>\n

She is the author of the poetry collections Running to Stand Still<\/i> (Omnidawn) and Warning Coloration<\/i> (dancing girl press), and her nonfiction book of essays Life During Wartime<\/i> (Fourteen Hills) won the 2018 Micheal Rubin Book Award.

Poetry film is a genre of film-making with origins reaching far back into cinema history, especially within the areas of the experimental and avant garde. Beyond this, it is a modern manifestation of poetry itself, which began in ancient time as an oral form, and has been adapting and evolving with new technologies ever since.<\/font><\/p>\n

Marie Craven<\/strong><\/font> has been a maker of short films for 35 years. These have exhibited extensively at international festivals and events, and gathered many awards.

“In diversity there is beauty and there is strength.”<\/i> – Maya Angelou. <\/font>Many Tongues of Cork<\/strong><\/font> is a space filled with prose & poetry in different languages. All are welcome to enjoy the flavourful sounds of a few of the languages spoken in our incredible city. Six women will read their poems in the original language (with translations projected overhead), including Tamil, Italian, French, Marathi, Polish and German. This recently established event, produced and presented by the inimitable Joanna Dukkupati<\/strong>, has taken place a number of times this year already and each time one leaves feeling more connected to the wider Cork community. <\/p>\n

Readers for this all-Women presentation include: Dr Lekha Menon Margaseery<\/strong> (Tamil), Michaela Lagoria<\/strong> (Italian), Nelly Azzapordi<\/strong> (French), Rosalin Blue<\/strong> (German), Mummy Harmony<\/strong> (Polish) and Pratibha Patil<\/strong> (Marathi).<\/p>\n
