Poetry, as you’ve never really known it before.
“Didn’t realize you were
doing something quite so special”
- Siobhan
Harvey
“Cool!” -Jennifer Ward-Lealand
Auckland's 2016 National Poetry Day celebration closes with a special poetic theatre event directed by Genevieve McClean and performed by nine poets from across the region.
Drawing on physical theatre traditions, FLOCK incorporates sound-poetry, spoken word, and movement in a percussive site-specific performance informed by 'Butoh', a dance-form that emerged from Japan in the 1960s.
With qualities of theatre and music FLOCK uses voice, body and spoken word as the human instrument. FLOCK will take place at the Auckland Old Folks’ Association Hall, using the big space and the old wooden floor to full effect. Like an orchestra of voices, the poets will inhabit the space in an hour-long show that makes a spectacle of itself.
“This won’t sit in anyone’s previous experience of poetry performance."
Genevieve McClean is an actress, a documentary filmmaker, voice and performance coach, and a spoken word artist, who has performed in New Zealand and overseas. Most recently she performed as Pistol in Henry V at the Globe Pop Up Theatre.
