March 15: Paul Taylor’s Trombone Poetry + Uru-Ana + Mike Weller
Paul Taylor’s Trombone Poetry is a solo performance project that interweaves music and poetry in a kind of poetry slalom. Uru-Ana are London-based sound artist/musician Alex Thomas and writer/performer Alex Walker. Michael Weller renders name, place, voice, words, stories, pictures, as public performance. All three approach the performance of poetry from difference routes – Paul Taylor from the improv music circuit, Uru-Ana from theatre and Dada cabaret (though Alex Walker has had two texts on Great Works: Offertorium and Termination #3: Quest), Mike Weller from Writers Forum, but also the politics of the punk scene. They are all skilled and thought-provoking performers who have extended the boundaries of performed language.
