Adrian Slatcher reviews The Other Room 36 – Alec Newman, Nata Raha and Seekers of Lice
Even though the Other Room frequently features three performers from the more experimental end of the poetry spectrum,
its rare that you can find more than cursory connections between them. On the surface, Alec Newman, Nat Raha and Seekers of Lice (actually a solo artist, called, I think, Anne), hadn’t much in common either but coincidentally all read sequences, and had some element of the improvisational in work that was otherwise very structured.
The Other Room tonight
Alec Newman: a preview
Alec Newman will perform at The Other Room on Wednesday 5th December, at the Castle Hotel, Oldham Street, Manchester. 7 PM start. Free entry. The other performers are Seekers of Lice, of whom you can read a preview here, and Nat Raha, who will be previewed next week.
