For the fifth time, Writers’ Centre Kingston presented a special showcase event that asked pairs of Creative Writing students from different Universities in the UK to collaborate on short new works of poetry or text, for performance.
The primary participants were students writing with poets they've never met before, who study within a different institution, this project allows them to expand their practise, knowledge and networks, and evidences Kingston University's desire to break ground with outgoing initiatives for its students and young writers in general. The innovative collaborative methodology also allows participants to include experimentation early in their writing careers, and perform to a large audience in the heart of London.
A unique collaborative event, almost 30 students from the creative writing departments of seven UK universities - Kingston, Edge Hill, Lincoln, York, York St John, Greenwich and Glasgow - present nearly 15 brand new works in collaboration. The University Camarade is presented by Writers’ Centre Kingston at Kingston University.
