Join writers from the Royal College of Arts as they read work based on the theme of bodies – both human and bodies of land, systems and structures – in ASSEMBLY ONLINE’s latest free performance
A Norwich-based arts charity is bringing a live-streamed event based on the theme of “bodies” as part of its creative programme designed to bring art into everyone’s homes during the pandemic.
Writing the Body: A Close Reading will see recent graduates from the Royal College of Art’s MA Writing programme read excerpts from their work on bodies, whether they be human bodies, bodies of land, systems and structures.
The four writers taking part in the event – funded by The Assembly House Trust - on July 23 at 7.30pm are Esme Boggis, Nina Hanz, Rose Higham-Stainton and Harriet Welch.
