New Spoken Label Podcast - Kate Ireland

 

Latest up from Spoken Label (Spoken Word / Poetry Podcast), making her debut is the amazing Kate Ireland.

Kate describes herself "Hi there, I'm an artist from Scotland with a fidgety brain. I play with the boundaries of performance, installation, text, and community practice.

My art is all about fighting the urge to optimize ourselves through language and gathering.

It is also about connecting to the primal, childlike, strange and tender parts of ourselves.

I also love working with my pals and seeing creative projects as an excuse to parallel play."

This chat is primarily about her debut album with Locksy "Self Regulating Behaviours".

This album is described as "An audio-visual performance and pamphlet that explores the relationship between the performer's behaviour and impulses in the face of neurotypical, hyper-capitalist standards of optimisation. Accompanied by a Sheffield-based producer

and DJ, the performance features distorted words, missed phone calls, and increasingly bizarre wellness rules.

Kate is on Instagram at: https://www.instagram.com/kate.ireland__/

The album is on bandcamp at: https://kateireland.bandcamp.com/album/self-regulating-behaviour.

New Spoken Label Podcast - Heather Skowood

 

Latest up from Spoken Label, features Levenshulme based poet, artist, Heather Skowood. 

Based in Manchester, UK, Heather describes herself as "I am a Human, flawed and vulnerable as you.

I wonder through our shared world with an insatiable appetite for connections with people like you and experiencing things visually, mentally, physically and spiritually in unique and stimulating ways.

I love dressing up.

It helps me to let go of inhibitions and enjoy myself in ways then when I'm not dressed up. I create jewellery because I love the idea of making something that you or someone you love will wear and experience that same feeling of letting go. Adorning ourselves in a costume or with body adornments is a form of self expression and tells others a little about ourselves through a visual language that doesn't really require verbal explanation.

I love celebrations. Birthdays, festivals, parades, demonstrations, partnership ceremonies etc. I love to be in a crowd of people celebrating each other and life. So you wcan often find me at the heart of such moments in time."

New Spoken Label Podcast - Kate Hook

 

Latest up from Spoken Label (Spoken Word / Poetry Podcast) features making her debut, Kate Hook.

Kate is a cheese-obsessed writer who was born in Wythenshawe, South Manchester. She now lives in Sale (primarily because they have a better selection of cheeses) with her husband and two children.

She’s been writing poetry since she was about six or seven years old, and describes herself as a “fair weather feminist” because putting out bins is definitely her husband’s job, but she’ll happily fight to close the gender pay gap, or end violence against women any day of the week.

Much of Kate’s poetry examines the unrealistic expectations that modern society places on people (mainly women!) and why we need to just step away from all the nonsense.

This Podcast talks about mostly her debut book "I can hearing you ironing" which is described as "

With a title inspired by an angry text that the sleep deprived, post-partum author once sent to her husband, this book is a must for anyone fed up with trying to survive modern life.  This candid collection of 40 poems takes a stark look at parenting, internet comparison culture, and political nonsense, and asks important questions such as… Why is bonfire night always crap? Is it normal to get this stressed by the school Whatsapp group? And why can’t people on social media just be kinder to each other?!"

The book can be purchased at: https://www.browndogbooks.uk/products/i-can-hear-you-ironing-kate-hook
