Hyphae Collective invite poets, musicians and singers to experiment and collaborate with our house band – let’s see what mycelial magic we can weave together. Bring your instruments and your words; whether they be your own, someone else’s or, even better, improvised!
September’s Hyphae jam is a Hastings Book Festival special – bring along some prose and see if you can render it poetic with our band!
It could be your own writing, or anything from your favourite (or least favourite) classic novel to your washing machine manual. The stranger the better!
(Poetry and improvising is still welcome, we couldn’t quite bring ourselves to make prose compulsory… Will you take up the challenge?)
The vibe:
• The Hyphae jam is a place where those who tell stories with words or stories with sound get to play together.
• A place where we descend into a hell poem loop that is exited via a performance of the J’Adore Dior advert (2004).
• A place where the soundtrack is constantly reinvented and always slaps.
• A place where we improvise poetic conversations that were never expected.
• A cooking pot for our collective madness – it is delicious.
Practical bits:
The jam is on the third Thursday of each month at 7pm, at Barnaby’s Lounge in Hastings. It’s free and unticketed (though tips are welcomed). The building is wheelchair accessible, but the toilets are not. This is a queer and trans friendly event – everyone is welcome.
