*** NB *** CHANGE OF VENUE FOR THE INVERSE EVENT *** WED, 26TH JUNE

Due to some unforeseen circumstances, Inverse will have to re-locate for its night of readings on Wednesday 26th June. We won't be at Monster Truck anymore. Our night of spoken word performance will now be happening at the quirky, exceptionally charming and very suitably idiosyncratic Molloy & Dowling's Opticians on Kildare Street instead. 

Doors at 7 pm. Poets, prose writers, dramatists - including performances from the Inverse participants themselves! I hope to see all of you there!

INVERSE EVENT // Wednesday 26th June // 7 pm // Free

As part of the Dublin Pride 2013 programme, Inverse will be hosting an event at the Monster Truck gallery in Dublin City Centre. A line-up of performance poets, prose writers, playwrights, will present their work as part of this event to mark the end of the first season of Inverse, the creative writing project for LGBT young people.  This event is free and open to all: join our event page on Facebook

Inverse has been running over the past few months: a group of LGBT young people has been meeting for creative writing workshops, readings, talks and theatre trips. To celebrate the project's conclusion, we'll be assembling a dynamic line-up of readers and performers, alongside readings by the project participants themselves.

Venue: Monster Truck
Date: Wednesday 26th June

Time: 7 pm
Admission: Free

Inverse. LGBT Writing. Supported by the Big Smoke Writing Factory. Part of Dublin Pride 2013.

Inverse Session 6 // Saturday 8th June // FINAL SESSION

This Saturday Inverse will host its sixth and final session.  

The group - a group of engaged and serious and talented young LGBT writers - will meet at the Big Smoke Writing Factory on Hatch Street for the last of a series of six 3-hour creative writing sessions.  

Together the group will work on the close-to-finished pieces of writing which they have spent the last few weeks producing.  There will be a feedback session, a development session, and we'll be talking about the future - about the writer's need for plans, discipline, and perseverance.  We'll also be doing some preparation for the end-of-project Inverse Event later this month, at which the group will perform their work alongside a line-up of established poets and writers in the Monster Truck gallery on Francis St, as part of the Pride line up, Wednesday 26th June.  

Inverse.  LGBT writing.   


Inverse Session 5 // Saturday 1st June // DETAIL // Featuring Guest Writer Una Mullally

Last Saturday Inverse held its fifth session, and we dedicated it to an examination of 'detail' in writing.

We practised some free-writing, we talked about the importance of the 'telling' detail, and the intersection of detail and perspective.  We workshopped some of the participants' own pieces, and began some preparations for the end-of-project event later this month, at which the group will perform their work alongside a line-up of established poets and writers in the Monster Truck gallery on Francis St.  And finally, we also had the very talented LGBT journalist Una Mullally in to talk to the group.  

Inverse.  LGBT writing.  Every Saturday til the 8th June.
