A great experience at the 8th International VideoPoetry Festival in Athens... many films, live performances, music, and a workshop session. Full review of the event here             Fab to be meeting up with Lucy English, Chaucer Cameron and Helen Dewbery, then connecting with people in person for the first time - Marie Craven, Ian Gibbins and Ana Pantic. Many thanks to Sissy Doutsiou and her team for a very varied and exciting event.
I performed some new and old writing live - I wrote about the experience on my a-n blog Experimenting with silent film for the first time ... I have created a piece for the Window Project, in Silver Street, Cambridge - 'Relationship Scaffolded'. 21 artists will be showing work in a continuous loop.  So pleased that I have been awarded a mentoring bursary by a-n (The Artist's Information Company). I am working on developing my practice and building up a new body of work over the next year with the support of my mentor Rosalind Davis
As part of the deal - I will be posting a blog on the a-n website - further details to follow when this is set up. Watch this space... 'Moss' has been kindly selected by Lucy English to be part of the 'Focus UK: State of the Art' programme during the Zebra Poetry Film Festival in Berlin on Saturday 7th Dec. Wishing all who will be there in Berlin an amazing time! https://www.haus-fuer-poesie.org/…/all_e…/focus-uk-state-art  'Moss' - written by Natalie Whittaker - published in Shadow Dogs by Natalie Whittaker (2019)
