Page Meets Stage was awesome last night!
Louise Robertson's version of Taylor Mali's Page Meets Stage show last night was awesome. What a wonderful blend of poetry and audience! The Q&A was mad fruitful, and it's good to have another type of show in town. Louise has been trying to make it happen for a long time and Steve Abbott and Logic were great starters.
It was also good to be able to sit back and absorb a show with no pressure or opportunity to perform. A show focused solely on the featured cats really allows the audience to dig into the work and the theories and how they may apply to them. You can also take note of the cats who can sit and learn from their peers, as opposed to the cats that won't go anywhere if they can't perform (and not learn).
A really good time, and very different than all the other readings in style and mission.
Hear that, biters? Don't bite. Just shut up and embrace.
