Poetry at the museum is growing and our plans are ambitious.
We have dates in the
diary for the next “What’s On” gallery performances. They are April 13th, May 11th
and June 15th. We shall soon
have our own dedicated place on the museum website to promote our work.
I shall lead an
introductory workshop “From art to poetry, making poetry at the museum” on
April 21st 10.30 – 3.30.
Looking further ahead
to the summer holiday period, we will be putting on week day lunch time
recitals every week through August in the lecture theatre. These will be paid
events.
I shall lead a two
day summer school in August on poetry at the museum.
We aim to continue
coverage of upcoming exhibitions. We will offer performances towards the end of
the exhibitions to give us a chance to visit and study works before we write
and perform. As before there will be a mixture of exhibition and outside
exhibition performances.
In June there will be
a Master Drawings and a Stradivarius exhibition.
This autumn,
September to January, there will be a Henry Moore and Francis Bacon exhibition.
Moving ahead to 2014
there will be a Manet and Modigliani exhibition from February to June.
The big one for us
will be the Blake exhibition from November 2014 –February 2015.
We also plan paid
performance events in the atrium.
