Dan Webber - Genre Fluid Poetry Show

October 23

The stand-up poet, reluctant bear and attempted vegan strips… away labels of life, love, the arts and the LGBTQ+ community in this fast-paced, honest and hilarious debut. Under constant pressure from marketing people to decide whether he is a comic or poet, Dan navigates through the confusing world of definitions.

Being constantly told you’re a comic at poetry nights and a poet at comedy nights can be very confusing, as is the constant pressure to define yourself and your work.

Genre Fluid is a study into labels in everyday life, in the arts and the LGBTQ+ community, written by Dan Webber (reluctant bear, attempted vegan).

The show lasts just over an hour. Please arrive early for a 7pm start. We will have an interval for refreshments and a Q+A, where you will also be able to purchase Dan’s book Genre Fluid. Tickets are £8.00 inc. a drink. To book your place, please contact Scarthin Books on 01629 823272.

Our new Artist-in-Residence for 2018 is……… Jan Flamank

“I am so delighted to be Artist in Residence at Scarthin from March 2018, and am buzzing with ideas about what I want to do. I will spend time each month in this fabulous bookshop, and make new work that is inspired by the place, the people and the wild array of books! I use mixed media in my artwork, and having time in the shop will give me further incentive to include text and stories in my work, and be influenced by the treasure that fills every room there. Some of this artwork will be visible in the shop, but there will also be work that is hidden, awaiting discovery as people browse the shelves and corners of the shop…..

Please come and find me in the art room, I will be there monthly throughout the year. I look forward to meeting lots of lovely Scarthin people in the year ahead.”
