Openned 12: Excerpt
Tuesday 24 June, 2008 in Ryan Ormonde, Steve Willey
[wpvideo QWzXxKZL]
An excerpt of Openned 12 (06/03/08). Here the poets Becky Cremin and Ryan Ormonde and myself Steve Willey, gave an improvised performance. We read from sections and permutations of texts that were sent in to Openned as part of the 2007 Openned Issue: Thirteen Kinesthetic Salsa Diphthongs. The permutations were created in part by Becky and Ryan fighting over a photocopier, ripping up the poems and disturbing them mid-scan. We then gave an improvised performance of the texts at Openned, sometimes with the lights off, occasionally turning them on, in an attempt to mirror the slowed down flash of a photocopier (which was used to create the texts in the first place).
