Monkfish Productions and WordTank Collective

 

Associate Company - Spoken Word


Rabbit Damage Logo

Monkfish Productions is Tyneside’s very own hub of multimedia spoken word and performance poetry. It is a Tyneside based company specialising in producing new work in spoken word, performance poetry and live literature. Since 2007, it has fused the word with a range other art forms, including film, music, character comedy, theatre and even ventriloquism. Monkfish works in partnership with poets, a range of artists, venues and other partners to make exciting things happen. So far, their work has mixed performance poetry with ill-fated punk heroines, a funeral, death himself, a saucy man-eating ventriloquist doll, a nasty wedding, radioactive skittles, beans on toast and a spoof South Bank Show.

Monkfish WordTank Collective is made up of Michael Edwards, James Fisher, Robbie Hurst, Simon Hymers, Claire Morgan and Viv Wiggins. WordTank is an eclectic mix of performance poets, actors, filmmakers and improvisational comics – all driven by an insatiable taste for spoken word and what it can do.

Monkfish WordTank Collective worked with ARC on the development of The Dead That Never Lived, a funeral service with a difference, where ARC was transformed into a funeral chapel to pay tribute to many deceased fictional characters including Scrooge McDuck, Darth Vader, Cathy from Wuthering Heights and Chucky to name but a few!
