Reciting for Charity
To raise money for a project to build a community for the
Homeless in Hull, the DML took part in a 'Segue of
Poetry Readings and Music'
On 20th October, members of staff from the Department of Modern
Languages at the University of Hull took part in a Segue of Poetry
Readings and Music at Hull Truck Theatre before a fresh rendition
of Federico García Lorca’s masterwork of desperation and
unfulfilled desire, Yerma, directed by Natalie Abrahami. The event
was extremely well-attended, aided by the efforts of the Language
Society, and was one of a planned series of Segue organised by The
Emmaus Trust, which aims to raise money for a project to build a
community for the Homeless in Hull. Amongst music and short prose
extracts, poems by García Lorca and Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz were
recited by Dr Robert J. Miles, Karla Ortega-Porcayo and Amanda
Lowe.
