    \"\"SATSYMPH<\/strong><\/a> and\u00a0Land Bone & Stone<\/strong><\/a>, lead by renowned Outdoor landscape poet, Ralph Hoyte<\/strong><\/a>, are excited to invite you to participate in one of two 2-day poetry workshops. We want you<\/u> to create poems and poetic works inspired by two of Dorset\u2019s most outstanding landmarks. Work arising from this process will be recorded (with your voice) and considered for inclusion in our two Poetry Park Apps, featuring Eggardon Hill and Maiden Castle.<\/p>\n

    \u2018A Poetry Park\u2019 in this context means that the poetic works will, through the wonders of mobile located technologies, be physically located<\/u> at Eggardon Hill and Maiden Castle. Imagine a park \u2013 and it\u2019s full of not only trees, and ramparts, and sheep, but also of poetry. Poetry clouds wafting about!<\/p>\n

    So how do you actually hear the poetry? You download our free Poetry Parks GPS-triggered audio-apps onto your smartphone. You go to the sites (the poems can only be heard by downloading the audio-app created by SATSYMPH and actually going to Eggardon Hill and Maiden Castle), open the app and put your headphones in. Your phone knows where you are. It also knows where the poetic works are. When it locates \u2018a poetry cloud\u2019 (or \u2018poem-pool\u2019), it plays that content to you (and, no, it doesn\u2019t need a network signal, it just needs a GPS-trigger). You can then wander both of the Poetry Parks, exploring the poetic audio-landscape and looking for (well, \u2018listening out for\u2019!) poems, some of which will be hidden.<\/p>\n

    Would you like to have your own original work hidden in the landscape for others to enjoy?<\/p>\n

      \"\"<\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

      \"\"Day 1<\/strong>\u00a0day is spent on location at Eggardon Hill or Maiden Castle gathering material and being inspired by the landscape, history, myth, genius loci, what landscape says about us as human beings etc., to create your own poetic work. An archeological expert<\/strong> will join us during the afternoon to help us uncover the secrets of the site and inspire our writing.<\/p>\n

      \"\"On Day 2<\/strong>,\u00a0you will be able to continue working on your piece\/s either on site (weather!) or in the workshop space. Your work will then be recorded (with your own voice).<\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

      \"\"SATSYMPH, then, with your permission, use your work as part of the mix to build the audio-app. Your voice is permanently inserted into the landscape for others to find and enjoy.<\/em><\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

      \"\"If your work is not used in the app it will still be published as sound-files on the South Dorset AONB\u2019s new interactive map, on Soundcloud and on a new Facebook page for the Poetry Parks, so all recorded works will be published online.<\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

      WHAT IS NEW ABOUT THIS? <\/strong>We, SATSYMPH, say: \u2018it\u2019s as if the landscape is singing to you\u2019<\/em>, or, \u2018it\u2019s as if you\u2019re in a virtual auditorium\u2019<\/em>: the literary work is experienced IN the place it was conceived<\/p>\n

      WHAT IS THE CHALLENGE? <\/strong> To respond (in poetry or poetic prose) to location, to the genius loci, to history, to myth, to the natural world, to the bones of the earth, the sociology of location, your own inner voice, by creating a new poetic work.<\/p>\n

      WHERE ARE THE LOCATIONS? <\/strong>The ancient \u2018iconic\u2019 Dorset landmarks of Eggardon Hill (east of Bridport) and Maiden Castle, <\/em>south-west of Dorchester.<\/p>\n

      WHERE CAN I FIND FURTHER INFORMATION?<\/strong> The Poetry Park apps are a continuation of SATSYMPH\u2019s work with the South Dorset Ridgeway Landscape Partnership, Land of Bone and Stone and Dorset AONB. You can get an idea of what the apps cover by clicking here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

      \"\"<\/a>

      Three of SATSYMPH’s Land Bone & Stone Apps now available to download.<\/p><\/div>\n

      \"\"The Workshop Leader<\/strong> is SATSYMPH\u2019s writer, Ralph Hoyte<\/strong><\/a>. Ralph created 1831 Riot!<\/strong> – the world\u2019s first located audio-play for an intelligent environment – in 2004 with Mobile Bristol. He is currently collaborating with the University of the West of England Regional History Centre to create \u2018Romancing the Gibbet\u2019, another \u2018located poetic walk\u2019 about the theatrical public crime-scene executions of the 18th\/early 19th century, set over the West Country.<\/p>\n
