Your Place Events

RikTheMost is the founder, organiser, promoter, techie and host of Your Place Events; an online, accessible, creative community with free (though donations are encouraged and gratefully received) weekly events - focused on spoken word at the moment.

Currently, Your Place shows are occurring on Sunday evenings (7:30pm New Zealand time - though we have people tune in to watch and to perform from all over the world - including the UK, USA, Germany, France, Israel and Australia - so far!).

We alternate between a slam one week and an open mic with feature poet the next so that folks can get their competitive fix and have a space to relax.

Multimedia Work

Computer Love is a technology based dance film shot on webcam that I made as a commission for DanceDigital and Thurrock Council. It's a modern interpretation of the balcony scene from Romeo and Juliet played out in an on-line chatroom entitled Computer Love (a euphemism for Cyber-Sex and a reference to the Kraftwerk song).

In this multimedia collaboration, with David Valentine, Rik produced the instant messaging script translation and recorded the voice over for a modern adaptation of "The Balcony Scene" from Romeo and Juliet.

This piece has been featured at numerous films festivals worldwide, and has also been used as a classroom resource for creating multimedia video work.
