Something Other Live is a series of experimental writing and performance events which act as companions to the themed Chapters published by Something Other collective.
Please join us on Monday 14 July at 7pm for a curated series of performances, screenings and sound pieces to launch and celebrate Something Other’s thirteenth chapter, On Elasticity: a collection of audio, video and written works and other somethings that consider stretch, contraction, tension and Spring.
The line-up will include works finished and just beginning as well as new experiments from contributors including Karen Christopher, Rhiannon Armstrong, Susan Rudy, Alexandra Baybutt, Helen Savage, Victoria Gray and Sam Williams.
The event will be hosted by Diana Damian Martin and Maddy Costa.
The evening will be loose and informal, and snacks and drinks will be provided.
Something Other is a website, a collaborative space, and a series of events, growing from an open dialogue between the writers Mary Paterson, Maddy Costa and Diana Damian Martin. They use publishing, live events, workshops, salons, archives and interventions to mobilise, share knowledge, and reflect together.
