An online reading group (meeting on zoom on the last friday of each month) that focuses on poems we feel relate to Utopias Bach's concerns in some way. We will take it in turn to circulate a poem (nothing too long!) and then meet online to discuss it.

This month, you are invited to share poems relating to ‘Gaps, cracks and monsters’

Please send your poems for this month to Iain: iain19biggs@gmail.com

The group will meet over zoom. The zoom link is the same as always: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/85409719450?pwd=d1VaRktoY1QveTZWSDdaUDVKQWRkQT09

The weeds are gathering… at Gwesty Padarn Hotel, Llanberis, LL55 4SU

on the menu so far:

• a Solstice poem and a sound poem: Winter Weeds lament by Anna Powell

• a lecture on seasonal weeds by Emily Meilleur.

Feel free to bring a weed with you! And maybe some paper/creative materials.

We will try to record and share with those unable to make this face to face meeting.

If you would like to join from afar, you are invited to try an activity created by Lisa Hudson:

1.         Go outside and make an ‘inefficient map’ of all the weed people that you notice (hold a piece of paper to your chest and draw with one or two hands without looking).

2.         Notice one weed person that you would like to get to know

3.         Make a portrait of your new weed friend.

Sign up for the co-learning programme to receive updates:

This is the first meeting of a new group who are interested in collective (de-)thinking and (de-)theorising about Utopias Bach.

In this first meeting Sarah Pogoda invites us to learn about what everyone hopes to get out of the UB Theory Group, how we want to facilitate our collective (de-)thinking and (de-)theorising, and if there are specific needs that we want to accommodate. She also would like to invite everybody to suggest readings for the group, and we will decide on how we decide on readings.

Sarah has shared a 10-page long text by Grant Kester about conversational art. email Utopias Bach if you’d like a copy!

She says “Kester is an US-american art historian I have been reading for a while. He often instigates thoughts in me (is this phrase that works in English? - it works well in German) while thinking in a very different socio-cultural context to ours. And he has been critized quite a bit Maybe this is what makes it interesting?

It is a text with lots of examples, and not „pure“ theory. This is why I liked reading it.”

Weeding cares! Diological Weeding - Map o Gymru, Llyn Alaw, Ynys Môn

• an invitation from Sarah Pogoda

  
  
  

Time: 10-3pm (you can drop in and out at any time)

Llyn Alaw location: Google Maps / What3words app: lluosrif.amgylchedd.undonog.

We are arranging lifts from Menai Bridge and Bangor. So please email Sarah Pogoda if you need or if you can offer a lift.

Accessibility: Unfortunately, the site is not accessible, and there are no facilities at the site, either.

Strawberry Plants, Garden, Weeds. These are just a few metaphors we have been using to talk about what Utopias Bach is and does, when we talk about aesthetics and cultures of care in and as Utopias Bach.

I have been calling for volunteers to clear and weed a massive earth work in the shape of the map of Wales which Welsh artist Paul Davies created with the help of students, family and friends in 1987 as part of the Year of Environment by the then European Commission.

But is this form of gardening for visibility I have been enabling really the appropriate form of care for the earth work? Paul Davies did describe the earth work as “a living sculpture”, as semi-permanent.

Semi-permanent, what does that indicate. A becoming invisible, a disappearing? Or a becoming visible again, an emerging?

 Only recently, Utopias Bach have been looking deeper into scoring encounters and relationships with the more-than-human (Tree Sense School, Tea with a Tree). I would like to invite everyone to a scored encounter with the site of the earth work at Llyn Alaw. Depending on how your encounter ‘unscores’, you might start scoring invitations for encounters, too. Or you might engage in weeding as a form of care for semi-permanence. Or you might explore resonating with mythological traces of the site as a new form of gardening for healing.

Please wear appropriate clothing, including boots and long sleeves, as there are some muddy spots and some carefree bramble.

All tools and panads will be provided.

Join us to celebrate and to assist with a traditional hay harvest! There will be botanical exploration, workshops, music, storytelling and a small exhibition of local artefacts and field names. What clues are there to how this area used to look and how the land used to be cultivated?

12 month adventure with Rewilding the Artist

Join a Rewilding Adventure Tribe exploring new ways of thinking, doing & being.

An adventure created for artists and creatives who wish to root wellbeing and access into the foundations of their creative practice.

We meet once a month for 12 months to explore the concepts and locations of the Rewilding the Artist Adventure. We use imagination, creative prompts, & conversation to reimagine a creative practice that works of you, supporting your physical and mental wellbeing.

The adventure does not offer prescribed solutions, but a process of discovery, unearthing your own unique solutions, to test, adapt and mould so that they are aligned with your authenticity. Your guide, Gaia, is there every step of the way. We will use the 'Rewilding the Artist a field guide' as a resource as well as additional creative activities, mapping your unique journey along the way.

The Tribe is a 12 month Adventure and includes:

• 12 monthly online Tribe Gatherings with Gaia.

• Additional creative activities to explore along the way.

• A collection of practical supporting resources. An online group for ongoing conversations.

• A copy of 'Rewilding the Artist a field guide'.

This adventure was created to continue a journey started with Utopias Bach, a partner with Rewilding the Artist

NOTE new time for this month - 5- 6pm!

An online reading group (at 4pm on the last friday of each month) that focuses on poems we feel relate to Utopias Bach's concerns in some way. We will take it in turn to circulate a poem (nothing too long!) and then meet online to discuss it.

Exploring theory and post-dramatic theatre

"Theater, denen es nicht mehr gelingt, die Frage WAS SOLL DAS zu provozieren, werden mit Recht geschlossen.“

(Rather frrely translated into English:

"Theatres that no longer succeed in provoking the question WHAT THE FUCK WHY AND WHAT IS THIS are rightly closed."

This group is exploring how can theoretical texts act as epiphytes for dramatic texts, how can we graft theoretical textbites and stage, what does theatricality (theatre = θέατρον (théatron = place for viewing) help us to see in a dramatic vs a theoretical text?

Gweithdy 3 : Dod â phopeth at ei gilydd

Y trydydd o dri gweithdy yn archwilio stori draddodiadol Canthrig Bwt, cawres neu wrach oedd yn byw yn Nant Peris, trwy ysgrifennu a dweud stori, darlunio a chyd-ddychmygu. 

Am ddim ond rhaid archebu

Efo Seran Dolma, Wanda Zyborska, Lindsey Colbourne

Workshop 3 : Bringing everything together

The third of three workshops exploring the traditional story of Canthrig Bwt, a giantess or witch who lived in Nant Peris, by writing and telling a story, drawing and imagining together.

Free but booking essential

Together we will reconsider the story of Canthrig, asking how this character could be reinterpreted through a contemporary lens to represent something that is important to us about our relationship with this special place, and the wider world.

Our focus will be on imagining who might be the children of Canthrig, as further development of the story, exploring symbols in the tangible landscape and the internal landscape.

Rhan o / Part of Stori’r Tir Dyffryn Peris

An online reading group (at 4pm on the last friday of each month) that focuses on poems we feel relate to Utopias Bach's concerns in some way. We will take it in turn to circulate a poem (nothing too long!) and then meet online to discuss it.

This month, you are invited to share poems relating to “CARE”

Please send your poems for this month to Iain: iain19biggs@gmail.com

The group will meet over zoom. The zoom link is the same as always: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/85409719450?pwd=d1VaRktoY1QveTZWSDdaUDVKQWRkQT09
