TUESDAY, May 18: The Fuller Terrace Show and Tell Me, 2pm – 7pm
The Fuller Terrace Show and Tell Me lecture series is based in Halifax
held with the intention of bringing people together to share stories
and experiences and act as a catalyst to create change in the North
End of its home city. This May, as an extension of the project,
artists Ella Tetrault and Bethany Riordan-Butterworth are taking a
trip across the US by train in order to collect stories and images
based on notions of desire and The American Dream. This one day
Chicago whistle stop will be a chance to tell your stories and share
your thoughts.
THURSDAY, MAY 20: Writing at the Movies, 7:00 – 9:30pm
“Writing at the Movies” A new writing workshop led by the poet Gene Tanta.
Participants in this workshop will use as our point of departure Andre
Breton’s surrealist montage technique of dropping in and out of various
cinemas looking to cutup visual elements and dialogues. However, instead of the velvety cinemas of Paris, we will use DVDs and Google Videos (no limits on
theme or form). For the first half, we will screen a few minutes of the films
we bring in and/or of internet audio-visual artifacts while describing what we
see and hear. For the second half, we will perform and discuss what we produced (again, no limits on theme or form). We will write in response to these moving images and sounds, striving for a precise or even a phenomenological (suspending our assumptions) description of what we see and hear. Free & open to the general public! Everyone is welcome to attend!
