The 23rd Other Minds Festival, focused on the art of Sound Poetry, took place in San Francisco at the ODC/Dance Theatre over the course of six days (April 9-14, 2018); OM’s longest festival to date which included five concerts and a day of lectures and workshops.On April 10, 2018, two workshops were offered for those wanting to learn about sound poetry and even have a go at it themselves. At 3:00pm for the workshop "From Marinetti to Sound Poetry: A Historical Survey of Sound Poetry", Italian sound poet Enzo Minarelli lectured on the origins of Sound Poetry. From its roots in Italian and Russian Futurism, through the Dadaists, Lettrism, American Text-Sound and into the advent of Polypoetry, Minarelli explored the lives and works of this formative 20th century artistic movement. The workshop was structured through listening examples of works by famous Futurists, Dadaists, and sound poets followed by critical discussion of the works between Minarelli and participants.
