If you’ve enjoyed Rochester Lit Fest this year, you may be interested to hear that in lieu of October’s regular open mic night, Seasonally Effected will be presenting an evening of storytelling with The Travelling Talesman who will be telling tales of The Season of Revenge at the Dot Cafe.
A not-to-be missed panel discussion on the value of local open mic events. Led by Roy Smith of Seasonally Effected and featuring Barry and Sam Fentiman-Hall from Roundabout Nights, and Lisa Vigour of Inspirational Nights.
Update: A podcast of the discussion is available at Seasonally Effected.
The Travelling Talesman returns to Medway on the 1st November from 7:30pm, after his wonderfully successful appearance at the Good Intent this May. He will be telling dark tales of wizards and witches, spells and enchantment in the atmospheric Fort Amherst Gatehouse.
We have decided that the site specific theatre event was not quite ready to run on the 4th October and have decided to postpone it.
In its place we will be running a Creative Retreat in the Bishop’s House and would like to invite writers, poets, artists and other creatives to join us. Bishopscourt is a wonderfully inspiring place offering all sorts of spaces to write, draw and collaborate. (No messy work though!)
As a warm up for Rochester Lit Fest 2014, we are pleased to present a night of storytelling at the Good Intent in Rochester on the 9th May.
Seasonally Effected is a Rochester based open-mic night for creative and cultural exploration. It features a diverse mix of performances including poetry, short film, comedy, short stories, original music, plays and a variety of experimental content that is less easy to define.
