Test

We are delighted to invite you to invite you to this year’s first How to Book Swap Party! All that is required of you for this event is that you bring 1-3 books to swap. And that you read the fine print…

The Reader Berlin, Victor Breidenbach and Siena Powers invite you to celebrate the 3rd edition of How to Book Swap and Party! The details: Friday December 8th at Das Gift starting at 19:30 All you need to bring are 2-3 books, be ready to swap and read the text below.  Posters will be available for sale on the day. 

Reading your work on stage presents its own set of challenges: stage lights, stage fright, microphones (or no microphones), a strange sense of time, and a text that was once meant only for the page but now needs to be received sonically in a room. In this workshop, we will look at how to prepare for the technical and physical challenges of live readings, how to edit your work for the stage, how to read in a way that audiences can follow, and how to rehearse for the impending “performance” situation.

Ambika Thompson and Josepha Conrad bring years of stage experience as musicians, writers, and performers, and will help you rock your future readings. This will be scary and fun!

Bring some writing you would like to work with. Be prepared to experiment.
