SUMMARY:The Kaleidoscope Assembly presents: Surrealist Cut-Up Poetry Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Part poetry workshop, part ritual, the Kaleidoscope Assembly is a surrealist exploration of the manipulation of the raw material of reality through queer art.\nJoin us in practicing the cut-up technique, which has been a poetic weapon against spiritual control for the last century and a half, wielded by surrealists and other magicians. This form and practice take the texts (by literally cutting them up) that seek to do us violence, remaking them in expressions of our own rage and joy. It’s time to turn it against the gender-repressive christofascist administration that seeks to crush us and that will, as its every predecessor has done before it, fail. We reassemble the language, invite the magickal short-circuits, break down society, resist and damage guilt, fear, and control, play with art, poetry, music, dance, sex, pain, fear, body, god – to help free us.\n\n\nBring a text you’d like to cut up/repurpose or use one of our offerings, we’ll have plenty. Let’s play some new games.\n\n\nAugust 13th, 6:30 PM, Unicorn Bar Lounge\nThis event is part of the Happy 80th, Marsha! festival celebrating the life & legacy of Marsha P. Johnson in Kingston, NY, August 10th-24th. For the full festival schedule visit marsha80th.com ( http://marsha80th.com/ ) and follow us at @marsha80th.\n\nYiddish brass band dance party to follow\n\n
