Performing virtually in Amsterdam - a video

I spent a good two hours last week recording this excerpt from my new 'brief brief: a riddle', an extended visual poem on the process of translation, particularly challenging to perform not only because of the many visual effects but because of the inclusion of Friesan, Scots and Old English in the text - none of which I can really pronounce. I also forgot to brush my hair before the first take so had to scrap that one and start again. I never even thought of considering the background which is rather higgledy piggledy to say the list. And uploading it on WeTransfer took about two more hours...

Who'd be an actor!

The launch of the Versal issue (no 12) in which my poem features is on Sunday 11 June in Amsterdam. I'm sorry not to be there but very glad I was able to join in virtually.

Hope you enjoy the excerpt!
