Welcome to EARTH – the brand-new GOBS Collective Showcase curated by Nottingham’s finest poets, co-directed by Cara Thompson and Bridie Squires, with movement direction from John Berkavitch. These artists have built work from the ground up, bringing individual stories together to create this journey through softness, hardship and magic – Earth. Developed in partnership with Apples and Snakes, with support from Nottingham Central Library and Nottingham Playhouse.
Founded in 2020, Nottingham adult spoken-word collective GOBS host poetry performances, workshops, events, book clubs, masterclasses and education programmes, meeting on a quarterly basis with various projects and opportunities rolling out throughout the year. Previously funded by Arts Council England, GOBS have performed alongside Yomi Sode, Randolph Matthews, Casey Bailey, and Debris Stevenson, and have featured on Notts TV, BBC Radio Nottingham and BBC Sounds.
