Time: 6.00pm - 7.00pm
Venue: Dorich House Museum, Kingston Vale, London SW15 3RN
Price: free

Please join us for the first of this year's WCK seminar - each is themed, with three speakers responding to a concept with a new reading or talk or performance. The speakers are both guests to the Centre as well as those drawn from the academic staff at Kingston University, home of WCK. Student readings often accompany this main programme.

The theme for this event is living. Each of the three speakers will respond as they see fit, drawing from their remarkable collective experience in the world of contemporary fiction, art and criticism, with a new piece of literature or an informal talk, an academic lecture or a performance. They might shape a previous work to the theme or create brand new fiction, non-fiction, theatre or poetry. Their choice of medium is as creatively free as their choice of message. Each presentation will last around ten minutes followed by a short discussion and a Q&A with the audience. 

This event will be opened with the launch of the first three pamphlets in the Writers' Centre Kingston Sampson Low series - new contemporary poetry by Kingston students. Future Dentist by Molly Bergin, Event Horizon by Zakia Carpenter-Hall and Soft Teeth by Dacy Lim will be available to purchase on the night.
