SUMMARY:Saturday Night Special\, an "Ekphrastic" open mic
DESCRIPTION:“Ekphrastic poems [or stories] focus on works of art—usually paintings\, photographs\, or statues. And modern ekphrastic poems have generally shrugged off antiquity’s obsession with elaborate description\, and instead have tried to interpret\, inhabit\, confront\, and speak to their subjects ” (https://www.poets.org/poetsorg/poems?field_form_tid=408) \nYour SNS challenge for March\, is to write something new based on or inspired in some way by a piece of art. \nAs always\, we’d love to hear your (three-minute) poems\, stories\, comedic sketches\, songs\, or dances\, on our optional theme (or any topic). \nOur featured readers for March are Miah Jeffra (and one more tba)\n— \nFirst come first served. Sign-up starts at 7pm and closes when it fills up or when the reading starts\, so get there early if you want to read! (Note: Sometimes the list is full by 7:03pm) \nEach reader will have 3 minutes maximum. For prose writers this is about one and a half double-spaced pages. \nPLEASE NOTE: We are strict about the 3 minute max. When you reach your time limit at SNS\, we turn on the disco lights! So\, please plan ahead. Practice your piece out loud. Time yourself! \nAfter the reading\, stick around for karaoke starting at 10pm \nSaturday\, March 31\, 2018\n7 – 9:30 pm \nNick’s Lounge (21+)\n3218 Adeline Street\, Berkeley\, CA\n1 block south of Ashby BART\nBetween Fairview St & Martin Luther King Jr Way \nFREE!\nBut bring CASH if you want to buy drinks (which you sort of have to\, because there’s a 1-drink minimum!) \nHosted by Hollie Hardy \nPlease help out by liking our FB page\, where you can also find more details and photos from past events: \nhttps://www.facebook.com/Saturday-Night-Special-an-East-Bay-open-mic-112174188880786/ \nBIOS \nMIAH JEFFRA is author of the essay collection “The First Church of What’s Happening” (Nomadic Press 2017).
