The European Camarade for European Poetry Festival 2019 - April Saturday 6th at Rich Mix, London https://www.europeanpoetryfestival.com/camarade19 A remarkable event where 34 poets in 17 pairs from 25 countries presented brand new collaborations of literary performance, made especially for the night at Rich Mix, near Brick Lane, London.

Maja Jantar is an inspiring poet and artist, a considerable influence on my work. She is as uniquely talented as she is a pleasure to be around. I began collaborating with her years ago to learn, actively, as a form of pedagogy. So it was special to work with her on this enormous Camarade event, with a mass audience and so many peers around.

We shaped something which lay between our two areas of performance, with my yapping conceptual improv turns and Maja’s remarkable sound song tech nobility regal dramaturgy. We unveiled a giant handwritten poem and shaped it like architecture before blinding dancing around the place. It was an hour long piece shaved into 9 minutes and the product of a real friendship for me.
