Sascha Aktar Reading At Openned, 23rd July 2008
Thursday 19 February, 2009 in Sascha Akhtar
[wpvideo VUplqDlO]
The poet Sascha Aktar is reading in this video. She was the poet that concluded the first half of the night. When she begins her reading she addresses a "Caroline" in the audience, this is the poet Caroline Bergvall. As per usual I don't seem to have any footage of the second half readers, Sean Bonney, John Wilkinson and Frances Kruk (I am really going to have to sort that out) which is a real shame because the second half readers were excellent.
What is particularly pleasing, aside from Sascha's reading, is that there is a really great couple of moments at the end of the video, when Sean Bonney and Ulli Freer (who seems to have been at the reading although we could not contact him before) are clearly having some kind of a conversation about the performance space, talking about the wooden plinth, and some other deviousness no doubt... there is gesturing involved... I like it.
