Words On The Move

An exciting chance to work with Scottish animators and create kinetic poems for the web is being given to the region's writers.
Up to 10 poems will be animated and published on the DGAA website and other poetry outlets, inspired by a specially commissioned kinetic work from one of Scotland's foremost poets, Tom Leonard.
Kinetic Poetry is a lively new animated artform made entirely of words. For examples see www.dgaaweb.net
Words On The Move has been set up by DGAA virtual writing fellow Jules Horne to inspire writers to think and work in new ways.
Jules is running four sessions to introduce the project, with help from animation company Motion Blur, and their Dumfriesshire based artist and lecturer Sonia Di Genaro.

Kinetic Poetry sessions will take place across the region on the following dates:

Monday 18 February 7-9pm Gracefield Arts Centre (with Motion Blur Ltd)
Wednesday 20 February 10.30am -12.30pm Newton Stewart Library
Monday 3 March 7-9pm Lockerbie Library
Tuesday 4 March 10am to 12 noon GU Crichton Campus (in association with Crichton Writers)

Poems must be submitted by Friday 28 March. For further information please contact Andrew Forster at DGAA on 01387 253383 or email andrew@dgaa.net
