Response to Mallarmé

In December 2008 Poesie Vermittlerin Nicola Caroli gave a poetry workshop with the trainee teacher Virginie Allwardt at the Romain-Rolland-Oberschule. The pupils of class 11c collected their impressions to the poem Rondel II by Stephane Mallarmé and wrote their own poems. (To read under Documentation)

StopForPoetry

At Berlin traffic lights you find poetry: your own poems on notepaper for tearing off. Anyone who writes poetry can make a verse for the specially designed notepaper. Just write your text and fix it to the traffic lights of the city. And anyone who passes can read it, tear it off and take it with him/her and take pleasure in it on his/her way.
In the poets‘ spring, when you‘re waiting at the traffic lights anyway, take a look at poetry.
The action will be documented and shown on the website. You can also perform your poem in spoken words standing beside your paper.
StopForPoetry is an initiative of Tina Wamsganz and Anders A. Bachmann.
StopForPoetry-dummies coming under www.stopforpoetry.de for downloading.

Workshop "Why do you laugh actually?"
With: Be van Vark (Choreography), Eike Laeuen (Photography), Anthony Schrag (Installation)
In cooperation with Literarische Colloquium Berlin
Laughter comes before language and for this reason it's one of the basic forms of human communication. Originally laughter was an aggressive posture, deriving from baring the teeth. It showed and still shows the state of your teeth and demonstrates a threat. But inside a group laughter joined people together: baring one‘s teeth to one another meant being part of a strong community and being an equal partner in a group.
Laughing has different characteristics and any kind of laughter in this world can inspire us. Laughter in the cinema, laughter that gets stuck in our throat, a fit of laughter, being laughed at and a smile.
The aim is a poetic staging, which translates the created texts into dance and integrates the created objects into what‘s happening on the stage.
Date: 02 - 06 March 2009
Showing: 06 March 2009 at 12.00 a.m.

Dasein:

Apotheker, a heterogeneous studio for audiovisual creation in Paris, will participate in “Printemps des poètes – Berlin09” for their Dasein project.
Dasein, which was initiated by Estelle Beauvais, will present a series of documentaries about alternative artistic ‘rendez-vous’ in and between Paris and Berlin, focussing on human exchanges and relationships that are building up networks over time. The project can be summarized in three ideas: rendez-vous, underground, Paris-Berlin. “Printemps des poètes – Berlin09” will be the pilot episode, for which Estelle Beauvais and Lucie Rezsöhazy from Apotheker will be in Berlin, as producer-video director-reporter and journalist-translator-interpreter respectively.

Plupart du Temps
For Chambre d'écoute Marie Chartron creates a sound piece after "Plupart du Temps" by the poet Pierre Reverdy.

Poem
Three ephemeral interventions on three streets: Gleimstr., Swinemünderstr., Graunstr., Prenzlauerberg-Wedding, by Cécile Belmont, Birgit Szepanski, Sandra Truté.

In a selected area, between the former East- and West part of Berlin three streets add up to the letter P, like a Poem: Gleimstrasse, Swinemünderstrasse and Graunstrasse.
Along this imaginary and real line diverse things, times and situations are colliding: the history of the Berlin wall, the departed “border area”, the two districts Prenzlauer Berg and Wedding, and their different social structure.
The three artists Cécile Belmont (Letter Performance), Birgit Szepanski (Street Poem) and Sandra Truté (Acoustic portrait) refer to this street situation. Their Poem concept focuses on everyday life, the hidden stories, the tension between past and present and the poetic potentiality of this area in Berlin. Birgit Szepanski

Buchstaben Performance / Letter Performance by Cécile Belmont
Two individuals roam separately through the „P streets“. Each one carries a piece of a sentence printed on its clothing. They wander tirelessly looking for each other. And sometimes, they manage to find each other. Briefly, for the time of their encounter, the completed sentence is finally readable. Then, the two individuals separate again, each one leaving in his own direction. Like a bizarre love story, this work is a social allegory reflecting our need to come together. It underlines the necessary interlacing with the others’ path to constitute our personal history.
- They look for each other
- They find each other
- They share „a bit of road“
- They part ways.

Strassengedicht / Street Poem by Birgit Szepanski

© Birgit Szepanski
How could I write a short story about three streets? A fictional story – about a woman on a bicycle drives through the three streets, searching for her boy-friend – makes the storyline, that connecting the streets to a scene. It is an open ended story about her inner voice, her doubts, loss and her own view of the streets. Maybe this story could be a real story, maybe it has happened once – or maybe not.
Printed on a small paper, thrown in letter boxes along the streets this story becomes a “fleeting poem” for every inhabitant of the streets. The reader could imagine, if the story is real, when it happens or how the story ends. Maybe the reader will keep this slip of paper, throw it away or use it as a bookmark – the moment during the reading, before the letter box or inside the apartment, creates a short poetical situation.

Akustisches Portrait / Acoustic Portrait by Sandra Truté

© Sandra Truté
An acoustic portrait of three streets through the sounds of environmental noise: Cars passing by, the noise of working machines beside the streets, screaming wheels in front of the traffic light, shouting people, barking dogs, from far away you can hear an airplane…
Overlapping fragments of sounds, that are hiding in most urban environments and that are most people perceives as an overload of the senses. Through the period of time (2th of March until 15th of March) I will accompany three streets, Gleimstrasse, Swinemünderstrasse and Graunerstrasse with my microphones. I will collect noises as a sound file and will compose them to a sound piece. I will create a Sound-Collage that includes the time and the date of the accommodation through an acoustic audio signal: A type time sound signal, similarly an announcement of an answering machine.

Ridefinizione - live reading environment by Alessandro De Francesco (poetry) and
Paolo Ingros
so (laptop voice processing)
The texts of Ridefinizione have been originally written in Italian by Alessandro and are now published in five languages in some 15 internationally renowned poetry reviews. In STEIM sessions the texts have been recorded (Shure condenser microphone, Fireface 800 audio hardware on Macintosh) live by Alessandro, Paolo and the Dutch artist Vincent W. J. van Gerven Oei, then processed by Paolo on a Max/MSP patch. This patch, conventionally called “pattern gate”, has been developed and implemented by Paolo specifically for Alessandro’s voice and way of reading. The purpose was to enhance the semantics of the texts trying to produce an advanced poetry–voice–machine live interaction device. This procedure is far away from “sound poetry” tradition, since the texts were previously written not to be performed. Moreover, Alessandro’s reading and Paolo’s treatments have to be conceived as a reading environment instead of a performance, that is to say an audio environment where the perception of poetry is the main aspect, much more than the performers themselves.

Soft-focus
A photo exhibition by Sulamith Sallmann.
If we don't focus directly on the lines of a book, a film and such like, we are walking about and usually looking around with quick movements, perceiving things for our orientation in the moving blur, experiencing our environment and ourselves often via reflections, mirrorings, boards. Our field of vision loses itself on the borders in soft focus. For Printemps des Poètes, Berlin09 she juxtaposes words/sentences with her images.

Wedding-Sprengelkiez-Novel

Collective of writers in Wedding: Holger Haak, Reinmar Schott, Lioba Reckfort
Karl Wuppke runs riot.
Karl Wuppke is an original and the concierge of the house in Sprengel street 28, whose residents and stories we will get to know during our little literary trip. There are for example the philosophy student Thomas Bruch, who is in love with the vendor of the bakery. Joe Kuhl, who earns his living as a taxi driver and doesn't say no to beer and noisy music. A resolute Miss Marple in the person of Mrs. Kapinski mustn't be missing. She traces her lost piece of furniture by the second-hand dealer round the corner. This and more will be there to discover together, when we'll explore the district reading passages from the "Sprengelkiez-Novel" at the original locations.
Where: Original locations in Wedding - Sprengel district
Meeting point: Sprengelpark - Entry at Sprengelstrasse at the airplane monument
Date: Sunday 08 March 2009, 12.00 a.m to 02.00 p.m
