AITU 2nd Birthday Celebrations

Popshot and AITU Collaboration

 

As part of Art in the Underbelly's 2nd birthday celebrations, AITU and Popshot Magazine are joining forces to create an exhibition of poetry and illustrations by artists and poets from around the UK. We're seeking submissions of poems which will then be used as inspiration for individually created illustrations. The poems will be displayed alongside the illustrations and during the evening of the exhibition, selected poets will perform alongside their images.

As part of the celebrations, we'll be putting together a limited run of booklets featuring the illustrations and poems. This is an opportunity for poets to see their work realised in a visual form and to have their work presented in an unusual format to new audiences. Submissions are open now so please email your poems and contact details to art@rumseywells.co.uk. Poems must be no longer than 40 lines and must reach the people of Art in the Underbelly by no later than April 5th.

AITU Presents: Submit & Exhibit 2 - An International Open Submission Exhibition

AITU Presents: 'This Is Just To Say' by Hannah Jane Walker

‘The show is confident, mature and smooth, the content endearing and engaging. The audience leave hyper-aware of when they say sorry’.
- Total Theatre

‘…there is something about Walker’s gentle, almost sorrowful understanding that
makes us want to embrace the messiness within and share our own catastrophes.’
- Lyn Gardner, Guardian Theatre Critic

Art in the Underbelly is very proud to present its first theatre show. ‘This is Just to Say’ is a part poetry, part performance, part interactive show created by the Fringe First award winning poet, Hannah Jane Walker.

The show is an intimate conversation about saying sorry with small audience group at a table. A warm and engaging fusion of intimate performance and poetry in a welcoming environment, wherein you sit, have some whisky, and if you like, share your thoughts and ideas about apology. It unpicks the fabric of identities, reflecting on notions of cultural identity and the misuse of language.
