About this Event
<h4>Radical Translation Workshop</h4><h4>Gregory Betts & Philip Terry</h4>

Can a poem be translated into a picture? Or a recipe? A novel? In the world of experimental translation, the answer is “yes”.

Canadian Gregory Betts and poet Philip Terry will discuss their own work with experimental translation in their recent publications, BardCode – Betts’s visualisation of Shakespeare’s Sonnets – and Vanitas, a cartoon translated from the French of Étienne Lécroart.

Participants will then explore experimental translation methods for themselves in a hands-on writing workshop.

Saturday 1 June, 11.00am-1.00pm

Venue: Lakeside Theatre Studio, University of Essex, Wivenhoe Park, Colchester, CO4 3SQ
