Join us in the bookshop for an evening celebrating local, award-winning poet, Katrina Naomi, as we launch her glorious new suite of poems, dance as if.
At once a celebration of the body and a quest for the euphoria of movement – without shame, without self-criticism - dance as if follows Katrina’s fruitful collaboration with the dancer/choreographer Kyra Norman, and Katrina draws on a variety of poetic forms to capture this joyful re-engagement with the physical. In these poems Katrina is rediscovering dance in the wake of sexual violence. But dance as if is a determined movement away from that place to somewhere more sustaining – where female friendship is embraced and where the self – a body and mind in perfect balance – is regained.
Come along to this free event, say hi to Katrina and hear her speak about the new collection. There will be some complimentary drinks for everyone and Katrina will be signing copies of her books too. A great evening promised, as we celebrate and support wonderful local arts.
