One of the most special Writers Kingston events. The last of this term. A palpable feeling that many years of teaching and mentoring and curating has led to a very special time at Kingston Uni for me over the past academic year, and this night was a high point. I’m proud of the work we’ve done with Writers Kingston - the sense of community. The picture below speaks to that. Lots of students I’ve worked with very intensively, in my final year module, and those I’ve only shared one or two seminars with. Everyone took risks and gave a lot, and a really big audience came out to support. All the performances are here https://www.writerskingston.com/showcase25/

The night was a student showcase, and some brilliant students from undergrad and postgrad presented new works of solo and collaboration performances, readings, audio pieces, sound poems. Some super intense work, playful and unflinching. My performance, which was mostly improvised, was an attempt at being literally communal.
