anti poetry event know structure

with Danny Hayward and Robbie Ellen
Antiknow event at FTHo 12 December 2013 www.flattimeho.org.uk

The process of antiknow is undefined and formless. I arrived at the anti poetry event without expectations but wondering if the audience would be encouraged to participate. When I am listening to spoken word (be it radio or performance) I am constantly asking myself  what does this mean and am I understanding this

But is meaning and understanding possible in Antiknow? Perhaps lots of different meanings can be extracted from this anti poetry event and everyone has a different understanding of it . There is no right answer even if there was a question.

So do I even try to understand or just let the sound of the words flow over me and be in the moment. I so want to understand but not be told. Is there a limit to knowledge? Is unlearning necessary?

To begin with we sat and listened to sounds and words which formed a prelude to various text extracts which I didn't recognize although one sounded as though it could have been from Animal Farm. This was followed by conditions for membership to the party and a list of what do we want....two wants stood out for me:
we want every commodity's price to reflect the social outlay that went into it 
we want a maximum wage
The whole event seemed to me to be a questioning of the status quo and what passes for normality or reality.....

 and so where is Flat Time House?

from Rye Lane Peckham head up Choumert Road that leads on 

to Bellenden Road......

and look out for this delightful cafe on the way....
