We've Weave
Poets: Kama La Mackerel and Alexei Perry Cox
Curator: Klara du Plessis
Deep curation is a practice of experimental poetry reading organization developed by Klara du Plessis, emphasizing the directed and mediated nature of the literary event as performance and the act of curation as art form. Deep Curation is curious to shape readings that enter poets' work into dialogue with each other, to excerpt, rearrange, intertwine, and rewrite a new, collective script for performance. During the residency at Studio303, du Plessis will collaborate with poets and interdisciplinary artists Kama La Mackerel and Alexei Perry Cox to produce a performance that will observe themes of place, identity formation, and grief surrounding binaries and borders. The process is intended to be improvisational and playful, expanding the minimalism of the poetry reading format with movement, costumes, props, and audiovisual technology to emphasize a kinetic, gestural, and affective practice.
