Ankündigung von zwei Veranstaltungen mit unserem Artist-in-Residence Boturu
May 23, 2023, 6:30 pm at the Instituto Cervantes Bremen: Talk with Boturu and Elisa Rizo (Iowa State University) about theater in Equatorial Guinea
May 24, 2023, 6:00 pm at the Theatersaal of the University of Bremen: “Desconectadxs” - Performance by and with Boturu and students of the University of Bremen
The stay of our artist-in-residence Boturu from Equatorial Guinea is coming to an end. We would like to bid him farewell at two events:
On May 23, 2023 at 6:30 pm at the Instituto Cervantes Bremen, there will be a round table discussion in Spanish with Boturu and theater specialist Dr. Elisa Rizo from Iowa State University (USA). Together they will discuss the beginnings and historical development of Equatorial Guinean theater as well as its possibilities for the future. The event will be moderated by Dr. Julia Borst (University of Bremen).
On May 24, 2023, Boturu and students from the University of Bremen will stage the performance “Desconectadxs” in the theater hall of the University of Bremen. The performance starts at 18:00. This is the performance that was developed as part of the theater workshop taught by Boturu in the summer semester 2023. As the performance is designed to break through the wall of language, knowledge of Spanish is not necessary to attend the play.

Creative writing class: “Writing Contemporary and Anticolonial Poetry”
By Ellen van Neerven (INPUTS Writer-in-Residence 2019)
Ellen van Neerven is an award-winning Indigenous writer whose mother is from the Yugambeh people of eastern Australia, and father is Dutch. Born in Meanjin (so-called Brisbane) Ellen has written a multi-award winning fiction collection titled Heat and Light (UQP, 2014) and a poetry collection, Comfort Food (UQP, 2016). They currently teach first-year poetry at RMIT. As a young writer in their late 20s, Ellen writes about the importance of looking after country (land, water, sea, animals) and learning from ancestors, as well as asserting a proud identity.
In this creative writing class, participants will discuss how to read and write contemporary poetry, and look at the past and future to influence and sharpen their own creative practice.
