Performa | Karl Holmqvist

Karl Holmqvist’s use of the spoken word goes back to early nineties New York (St Marks Poetry Project, Pyramid Club, ABC No Rio). He believes in the communal and emotive aspects of the spoken and the act of listening as a counter balance to the more isolation and authoritative qualities of the written word. The spoken word allows for the potential of transformation, as stage performance is used as a vehicle for text.
