As part of Manchester Science Festival 2017, we are looking to pair up a selection of Manchester-based scientists with local poets to develop a series of interdisciplinary performances. This is a really fun and engaging event that has sold out for the past two years, and which has been of great benefit to both the poets and the researchers that have been involved.

Places will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis. In terms of commitment, you would need to keep the following dates and times free:

  • Training Session @ Manchester Met – Saturday 23rd September; 11:00 – 15:00
  • Performance @ The Eagle Inn, Salford – Thursday 26th October; 19:00 – 22:00

If you would like to get involved this year, or if you have any questions then please do get in touch with me –  Sam Illingworth – email: S.Illingworth@mmu.ac.uk
