Radical Translation Workshop with Gregory Betts & Philip Terry

Can a poem be translated into a picture? Or a recipe? A novel? In the world of experimental translation, the answer is “yes”. Canadian Gregory Betts and poet Philip Terry will discuss their own work with experimental translation in their recent publications, BardCode – Betts’s visualisation of Shakespeare’s Sonnets – and Vanitas, a cartoon translated from the French of Étienne Lécroart. Participants will then explore experimental translation methods for themselves in a hands-on workshop.

Saturday 1 June, 11.00am-1.00pm

Venue: Lakeside Theatre Studio, University of Essex, Wivenhoe Park, Colchester, CO4 3SQ
Tickets: £15 / £10 concessions (Students, Under 27s and Unwaged)
