Petri: A Reading Series (#2)
Dadaist Cut-up Writing Night
At this event we will be utilizing the cut-up technique, a Dadaist creative writing method first described by Tristan Tzara in 1920.
WHEN: Wednesday, Nov. 19th, 6:30-8pm
WHERE: DADA Bar, 60-47 Myrtle Ave, Ridgewood
INFO: Upon entry, you will find a large chalice full of folded up pieces of paper; Verbs, nouns, adjectives, etcetera. (As well as a bonus bowl full of sentences if you're really stuck!) Ideally, you will pick at least three words from the chalice, though, you are free to pick more! Then, write using the words you’ve just picked up. At the end there will be an optional 5-10 spare minutes for anyone who feels inclined to share what they’ve written.
Also feel free to disregard the Dadaism if you just want to write! It’s an hour and a half of dedicated time with some nice background music and great drinks. Everyone is welcome :) Cut-up words, some spare paper and pencils will be provided.
In this reading club we’re focusing on great, underrated, short fiction. This means each story is around 50 pages or less (often 20 pages or less).
STORY: I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream by Harlan Ellison
WHEN: TBD! 7pm discussion * 8pm hang
WHERE: Ridgewood, NY (RSVP for address)
INFO: This is an in-person gathering. Address will be sent the day of the event!
We will meet up, discuss the story, choose our next one, and then have an optional hang until 10ish.
