CLR Reading Series: Patrick Coyle with Jade Montserrat and Sammy Playford

Join the Cambridge Literary Review for an evening of performance and poetry with Patrick Coyle, Jade Montserrat, and Sammy Playford. *Ticket Sales will close at 6pm BST 24/09*Ticket Pricing:Concession: FREEEvent: £2.50Event + Complimentary CLR Issue: £10Event Blurb:Patrick Coyle will read from an ongoing and probably unfinished text that contains the words ‘calendar’, ‘booths’, ‘breaths’, ‘candle’ and ‘droplets’ among others, and will have something to do with the original text of Kohelet (Ecclesiastes). Jade Montserrat will read from the performance score of Rehearsal Methods: audition pieces for solo and collective. Rehearsal Methods forms part of Montserrat’s commission for Manchester Art Gallery which encompasses performance, works on paper and a publication, as she explores questions of care in relation to both objects and people in the context of the gallery’s collection and collecting practices. Incorporating synchronised breathing, drawing and a chorus, her new performance takes cues from the theatrical oeuvre of Ira Aldridge, responds to the site of Manchester Art Gallery and is influenced by the experience of physical distancing.Sammy Playford will be reading from her book-length poem &#x27;There&#x27;s Always Things Falling Out The Sky&#x27;, designed and illustrated (though those words barely do their work justice) by Roxy Topia &amp; Paddy Gould, and published by Pink Sands Studio earlier this summer. She&#x27;ll also be engaging in some light necromancy. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------Patrick Coyle is an artist who makes semi-improvised performances that play with spoken language and combine various modes of public address such as guided tours, sermons, poetry readings and songs. Drawing and sculpture are important aspects of Coyle’s work, and he and his two-year-old son are currently exhibiting crayon drawings they made together during lockdown in the group exhibition &#x27;Where We Are Now&#x27; at Sunderland Museum &amp; Winter Gardens.Jade Montserrat is an artist based in Whitby, England. She was the recipient of the Stuart Hall Foundation Scholarship supporting her PhD (via MPhil) at IBAR, UCLan, and the development of her work from her black diasporic perspective in the North of England. Jade works through performance, drawing, painting, film, installation, sculpture, print and text.Sammy Playford is an artist living in Bristol, UK. She sometimes draws guts and ladders, sometimes stick n pokes, and sometimes writes poetry. Her work is into being a body, and not, listening to faeries, trans stuff, and necromancy. She has a book length poem about Bigfoot, ‘There’s Always Things Falling Out The Sky’, a collaboration with Roxy Topia &amp; Paddy Gould published this year by Pink Sands Studio. Some of the work she’s most proud of is now ink on bodies, but a few other places it has been published, shown or performed over the years are Modern Queers (2021), Radmin, Bristol (2019), Supernormal Festival, Oxfordshire (2019), Outpost, Norwich (2018), Hauser &amp; Wirth, Somerset (2017), Res., London (2016), Five Years, London (2015). Since 2014 her and Tom Prater have co-edited the artist-led journal, Doggerland. @sammyplayford on Instagram.
