Creating, making mistakes, failing, not being afraid to not fit in. How can a young person come to the realization that a perfect scenario is not the key to success? All the good lies in the process, not being afraid of what will happen and giving the best you can at that moment on the wave of inspiration.
Recently, poetry tournaments are becoming more and more popular, and, especially inspired by the recently held poetry slam in Liepāja, organized by the association "Totaldobže", young people are invited to look at making mistakes as an opportunity.
The concert program will lead to this change of thinking through poetry, music and electronics by poet Kirils Īcis, Liepaja poetry slam laureate Linda Skranda, poet and beatmaker Edvards Kuk and a group of musicians from the Liepaja Symphony Orchestra.
Linda Skrand (Ulan) writes: "When thinking about young people, I've been fascinated with mistakes and failure lately. As a youth worker, I study something I call 'the art of failure' (through the clowning approach, which is a very serious act of doing it). Am I allowing myself to fail? Am I allowing young people to make mistakes? Just this morning I was drinking coffee and reading Rodari's "The Grammar of Fantasy" where he speaks of the fact that making mistakes is not (only) learning, but creation.”
