Subject: Invites you to: "Oceanik" A poetry performance-lecture: Wednesday 24th January 2018: 4.00 pm
To: Raghavendra Gadagkar <ra...@iisc.ac.in>
Abstract: When
something confusing or painful happens, when we suffer loss or feel
fundamentally dissolved, often the only way to respond is through
poetry. Poetic language, which goes beyond simple logical ‘sense’, may
express human experience at its more mysterious and extreme edges.
Nia Davies will present and discuss a poetic work ‘Oceanik’ through film, voice and movement. The poem ‘Oceanik’ explores the language resonating in the body after something – a person, a dream, a language or culture – is lost. It ventures out into an oceanic soundscape of dissolved certainties and discovers the strange spaces in between people and in between languages, particularly between English and Welsh.
Davies’s creative research explores how poetry emerges through the body and intersubjectivity and how performance of poetic language can be a new kind of ritual – a space of liminality and collective resonance.
