Watch This Space Salon of Art, Poetry & Burlesque
On 28 July 2009, Watch This Space hosted an evening salon of Art, Poetry and Burlesque at the Opera Quarter Bar in Covent Garden. Amanda Eliasch and Richard Dyer co-hosted, with Richard reading his own poems, and two talented young actresses reading poems written by Amanda for her book 'Cloak & Dagger Butterfly'. Lola La Belle performed a beautiful burlesque routine, and guests had an opportunity to meet the Artists featured in the Watch This Space exhibition. Amanda Eliasch is a photographer and poet, and Richard Dyer is a Poet, Musician, Writer and News Editor of Contemporary Magazine.
