Convergence International Arts Festival Providence, RI 1988-2003

Canadian Poet and interdisciplinary artist TS Thomas conducted an intensive two-day workshop as part of his Convergence 200 Poetry Installation. The Workshop employed various selections from Walt Whitman as catalyst for informal discussions, writings, readings, recitations and visual presentations.

​

Participants were encouraged to produce their own annotations to the selected Walt Whitman texts which will be incorporated into a large (hybrid) installation.

Thomas' installations involve the placement of large letters on various public grounds. He creates a dynamic interplay of literary, visual and theatrical elements. Spontaneous encounters with the public are an integral part of the performance.
