Exposed

Poetry tour of 20 venues across the UK including Birmingham Rep and Contact Theatre, Manchester.

English was commissioned by Apples and Snakes and the Arts Council to be artistic director for this poetry tour. This appointment was based on her growing reputation through the "Temptation" tour. She both designed and directed "Exposed", expanding the audiences' experience of poetry through sound and visual mediums. This show was described as cutting edge. English's creative input was as 'editor' for the poems produced. To achieve excellence of writing she used a combination of group workshops and individual tutorials to coach the poets in their performance and writing skills.
