Rowe Beddoe

Fern Smith and Rhodri Thomas co-founders of Emergence â€¨will facilitate a participatory inquiry into the role of the arts and artists as change-makers. World CafÃ© is an open and informal technique which uses the collective wisdom of groups to address a number of over-arching questions of relevance to the people present in the room.

The questions will be related to the people and projects we have individually encountered which inspire us to create a more sustainable practice in our life and work. This will be an invaluable opportunity to meet and share with other designers, theatre makers, producing and receiving houses and to follow a line of enquiry in an open, honest and structured manner.

The World CafÃ© methodology is a simple, effective, and flexible format for hosting large group dialogue.

The World cafÃ© will be preceded by an introduction to the work of Emergence, the ideas which have inspired it and itâ€™s impact to date on the arts scene in Wales and beyond.

Open to all.

Price: Â£6

John Kinsella/Melanie Challenger | Travelling by other means

May 2, 2009news, RSA Arts & EcologyAir Travel, Artists, Artwork, Australia, Challenger, Collaborative Piece, Collaborative Work, Debut Collection, Decisions, Dialogue, Ecology, Email Inbox, Hosting, John Kinsella, Melanie, Poem, Poems, Poetry, Poets, RSA Arts & Ecology

Iâ€™m really pleased to say that the RSA Arts & Ecology site is hosting a new artwork. Itâ€™s a collaborative piece of poetry created by Melanie Challenger and John Kinsella called Dialogue between the body and the soul.

The idea came from a reading that both poets were invited to in New York in 2007. Though they had worked together â€” John had edited Melanieâ€™s debut collection â€”Â theyâ€™d never actually met, so the event would have given them both that chance. Kinsella lives in Australia; Challenger lives in the UK. But both were becoming increasingly uneasy about the idea of artists travelling internationally just to give readings of their own work.

In the end, neither travelled to New York. Instead, theyâ€™ve decided to create this collaborative work which comes from their decisions to eschew air travel for such events.

The first poem arrived in my email box yesterday; itâ€™s posted on the site today, initiating the exchange. Take a look. Iâ€™m loving the idea of seeing a piece of work like this evolve in my email inbox.

You can link to the poems here tinurl.com/dialoguepoems.
