‘See My Words Make Love’
Word meets image in an explosive creative collision at St. Ives Arts Club later this month. Crispin Williams lifts his poetry off the page and spins his words into striking visual crystallisations of colour and form.
These unusual pieces are expressed through a range of media including sculpture and digital art.
Crispin explains, ‘I’m in a process of integration, pushing words into my art and allowing my visual work to play with the images in my poems. But it’s more than just illustration and ekphrasis, words can be images and images can be words, It’s not easy to totally merge words and images without destroying one or the other but in a some of the pieces I’m reaching towards elements of fusion’.

Charity Shop Cabaret
This August, every Wednesday evening, the Arts Club will be hosting the wonderful
CHARITY SHOP CABARET. Described in the Western Morning News as “Fantastically funny and surreally absurd from start to finish. Go see, and prepare to fall in love.”This is a great opportunity to see the expanded new touring version of the acclaimed show by Cornwall’s hottest new talent, Trifle Gathering Productions, devised and produced in association with True West, whose debut show last year, “Pitchside”, also received rave reviews: “Ninety or so non-stop minutes of great and glorious fun, so good in fact that I’m still laughing, and can hardly wait for True West’s next home game.” (Frank. Ruhrmund, The Cornishman/West Briton). This is a chance to see the next generation of Cornish theatre.
CHARITY SHOP CABARET is a world of romance and rummage, jumble and joy, a pot-pourri of pure entertainement, it is utterly charming and a little bizarre and quite simply the funniest show you will see for a very long time.
Performance dates: Wednesdays 5th, 12th, 19th and 26th August. Starts 8.00pm.
Doors open 7.30pm.
Running time approximately 2 hours including interval.
