Lizzi Kew Ross & Co
The Discussion Project is a conceptual and performance umbrella. Underneath it are projects about the how and the whereabouts of discussion, and how this might be related to performance. Lizzi Kew Ross & Co, managed by Artstrust, will be working in partnership with Lambeth Libraries, Association of London Chief Librarians executive (ALCL) and The Reading Agency (TRA) to develop The Discussion Project.
A Quiet Form of Civil Society (Working Title)
A Quiet Form of Civil Society is the launch of the project and will be a three-day event to celebrate book groups through reading, performance, sound and discussion. The event would take place in The Old Vic Tunnels. The provisional time slot is shortly after Open City weekend at the end of September 2013. This will include the following activity:
· Café Programme – a programme of talks and lectures, drop in sessions throughout the 27 – 29 September 2013
· Book Clubs – bring the book clubs into the OVT, I think we will be able to host about 80 groups over the 3 days. c.2000 people
· Performance programme – 2 Dance works and 1 sonic art installation (5 shows over the 3 days, c.750 people)
· 72hr Magazine – this will archive and celebrate the books, book clubs and the art, this will be available on line and in print to help promote Read and Discuss… Where?
Where?
Read and Discuss… Where? Will follow on at the end of A Quiet Form of Civil Society and will be a roving book group, taking place in a different and unusual London location each time. The location will reflect or juxtapose something of the books and will be kept secret until the last moment. It will take place every two months for a twelve month period.
