rail:lines tour - a spoke’n’word tour of the Otago Central Rail Trail.
Poets Liz Breslin, Laura Williamson and Annabel Wilson of Poetic Justice Wanaka are putting spokes in the word this November.
They are going to e-bike the length of the Rail Trail, with spoken word shows at historic old halls in five locations along the way – Clyde, Ophir, Oturehua, Ranfurly and Middlemarch.
No two shows will be the same, so people can buy tickets for one show or a tour pass - on sale now at Eventfinda . They have been performing together for more than a decade and promise their shows are energetic, thought-provoking and audience focussed. And at each stop, different local voices and stories will be added to the mix.
For this tour they have teamed up with The Film Crew to make a film of the tour, showcasing, as well as the spokes and the word,the histories of the old halls that we’re losing to strengthening, modernisation and the economic challenges that COVID has caused. They hope to promote and demonstrate the viability of touring an emissions-free arts project, to highlight the strength of the poetry community in our region and to increase the visibility of women’s poetry stories documented on film, because among the 55 titles tagged to ‘poetry’ on the NZOnScreen online archive, only four female poets are represented.
rail:lines show dates are:
Friday 20th November Clyde Memorial Hall
Saturday 21st November Ophir Peace Memorial Hall
Sunday 22nd November Oturehua Hall
Monday 23rd November Centennial Art Deco Gallery, Ranfurly
Tuesday 24th November Strath Taieri Community Centre, Middlemarch
