- **Event Description**: queer xtreme sports writing workshop by Elliot Lind through Kathy Acker's and Bob Flanagan's texts on body, sex, gyms, sickness and dying.About this EventWe begin with the original academic trans masc gym rat text, Kathy Acker’s “Against Ordinary Language: The Language of the Body” about body building, anxiety of dying, and rejection of language.According to cliche, athletes are stupid. Meaning: they are inarticulate. [...]The verbal language in the gym is minimal and almost senseless, reduced to numbers and a few nouns. “Sets”, “squats”, “reps”,.We will explore the pleasure of failure through Bob Flanagan’s sexy, funny, sad writing about pleasure, sickness and the mundanity of the two in the poem “Why?”.We will look at the failure of the body - to pass, to outlive, to produce and perform masculinity.We will do writing exercises, and there will be a chance to get feedback for any ongoing work you have. Please bring whatever you've been working on with you. All levels of experience welcome.Read texts hereKathy Acker (Read here)Bob Flanagan (Read here)Who is this for?This workshop will centre trans+ experiences, however, nobody here polices gender or wishes to uphold a rigid trans vs cis binary.
