Manchester Children’s Book Festival · 26th June – 6th July 2012

Stand-up poet Kate Fox is actually much better at sitting down. However, when she became Poet in Residence for the Bupa Great North Run she discovered that running and writing had more in common than she had ever imagined. She also discovered that it’s not what your body looks like that matters – it’s what your body can do. A funny, thoughtful spoken-word show suitable for a family audience and involving optional interaction with brains and bodies. Warning: may include rhymes!

Commissioned by Bupa Great North Run Culture, developed in association with the Manchester Children’s Book Festival, produced by ARC, Stockton Arts Centre and presented in partnership with Manchester Libraries.
