Kiri & Christian worked out a sizzling performance of a love poem by Kiri.
Shane & Anna collaborated on two poems, one by each of them, and Daniel & I started collaborating on one of his poems.
Sabrina, Christian and I are looking forward to doing some gigs with these guys soon.
And last night, the first from the Literartist Pool joined Christian and I in performance with Craig Humphries at Rhythm & Verse up on the top floor of Lopdell House in Titirangi. Daniel Larsen was The Literatti sound technician until the end of last year and has been pretty much everywhere The Literatti's been in the last three years. We realised he was on the wrong side of the curtain when he was involved in the People In Your Neighbourhood Project last year, and so invited him along to the workshops.
He was awesome!
Dan and I performed our first collaborative poem together in The Literatti.Last night, Craig Humphries improvised music and we performed a mixture of old and newer pieces. Christian and Daniel were rock-stars, and I reckon I was alright too. Small but very appreciative audience. Craig was on fire with his broom bass and violin umbrella, and he turned Christian's Ja Ja into a bloody awesome hip-hop piece with his home-made drum. Loved it.
And I'm thinking over what kind of craziness I can do for a 'last show' before Christian takes over the reigns.
