Really nice piece about performance poetry and mine and Ross’ shows here by Holly Williams. Holly wrote the nice review about my show for Spoonfed, she’s been very kind about our work and very supportive of the genre getting us major exposure like this. So thanks Holly.
In fact The Independent have been really supportive to me over the years. It’s a great newspaper. Let’s hope Rod Liddle doesn’t get his palsied hands on it.
Yes, a good article! I read the comments on performance with great interest, especially the one about the importance of pausing. Most of the people I’ve seen reading who had strong enough nerves to pause properly were trained actors. The rest of us tend to rush on regardless.
Think you could have an alternative career in coaching for the stage – but probably you and Ross already have!
