Poems Made from Words Found in the Bin will be in residence at the StreetLife Hub this Sunday 4th & Monday 5th September, inviting members of the public to work with Rhiannon Armstrong to write poetry around shreds of paper found in bins in the city and beyond!

Today’s first animated Poem Made from Words Found in the Bin at StreetLife York. Here until 4pm and back in a few weeks with a film of the poems written here and around the country. This one is from young Will.

Hot off the press in York today.

being chronically ill and having to have rest days when you’ve got stuff to do is annoying, but sometimes you get just enough energy back to spend some of the afternoon chatting to people you love on the phone

Poems Made from Words Found in the Bin is a creative writing workshop & a digital art intervention by Rhiannon Armstrong In 2022 Applause commissioned a tourable outdoor version of the work for our network. Supported by Arts Council England, South East rhiannonarmstrong.net/projects/poems #nationalpoetryday

We have a new workshop coming with the brilliant Rhiannon Armstrong 😍. Ugly Singing is for artists in Scotland who use voice within their artistic practice. You don’t need to be able to sing, places are free but limited. More details on our website - imaginate.org.uk/artists/opport…

Saw this at ColchesterArtsCentre last night, it’s at @ThePlaceLondon today. I found it gentle but insistent in its joy, and full of permission to Just Be. Lovely. Also, buy the book.

We're heading into a recording studio this week as Lucy has been picked as a vocalist by artist Rhiannon Armstrong for her next big project. I often use my voice to campaign for Lucy’s, but this is all down to her skills. Beyond proud ❤️

Mixing sounds, making #ASMR recordings, singing, guitar playing and creating sounds with our wheelchair, I think Lucy is a natural born performance artist!

Day two of our recording sessions & what's screamingly obvious is that words are only one ingredient in music making. Lucy's a vocalist without them. Why do we use deficit based language to describe that of wordless others? Communication is beyond #Words & love needs none at all.

Part of our sound making exploration with artist Rhiannon Armstrong today. Bear in mind Lucy only started self propelling her wheelchair a month ago... the power of the process and indeed "processing" is captured in this film. Whizz Kidz

On the train on my way to Leeds to live and work for the next three weeks, listening to the epic Frozen Field, Burning Field by The Monroe Transfer which I highly recommend when travelling, or when you need to go on an emotional journey. themonroetransfer.bandcamp.com/album/trials

Lucy worked as a recording artist with Rhiannon Armstrong's project White Noise Factory funded by @hrzn_showcase back in Easter. Together we explored a "non linguistic process of discovery" Photos by @Jemimayon …ea01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%…

Working with Rhiannon Armstrong was a powerful experience that taught me new ways of non linguistic communication & connection. Music has always been a language to us as a family this felt like an encyclopedia of new terms. Photo Jemima Yong @hrzn_showcase Find us at @edfringe
