* THEME JAN/FEB 2022 *

Hi all! We've decided to postpone our yearly event to 23.01.22. Which means that the deadline for admissions for the evening has been pushed back as well! Do you have something you've been working on and would love to perform? Or something you'd like to workshop with the parateam? Dm us or send a message to paratextmag@gmail.com 🧡 more info on the lineup will follow soon and tickets are available for 3€ via dm/email as well. Have a happy Sunday! Perfectly dreary day for staying in and reading & writing, rest & relaxation.

Today's short story by @vos.pauw leaves us paralysed and overwhelmed after an encounter with too many birds. Curious how many birds are too many birds? Follow the link in the bio to find out!

PARATEXT PERFORMS || Join us for our yearly creative cornucopia with readings, music, spoken word and any & all kinds of performances on 19.12.21 at 15.00 in the Bunker if allowed (@vechtclub.utrecht), otherwise we'll switch online. Tickets will be available soon, but we would love to have you join the lineup. If you have something you'd want to perform (Dutch or English), DM us or send a message to paratextmag@gmail.com. Our team is ready to spar with you, should you want to work on your ideas. Looking forward to hearing from you 💥

De Dillle en Kamille kan er ook niets aan doen wanneer het leven en de liefde even in het grachtenwater zijn gevallen. Luister waarom Juul & Marlon hun nieuwe spoken word desalniettemin 'Fuck de Dille en Kamille' hebben genoemd op onze website & soundcloud. #LinkinBio en swipe voor een verleidinkje!

These rainy days are the best times to write. Write, write- write like you are a cell, growing by osmosis, shrinking by osmosis.

Movement, fluidity, what is felt but cannot be seen, what is unseen but can be observed, this theme encompasses it all. We invite you to write something around the theme of osmosis. It can be interpreted as broadly or as literally as you would like. Create a spoken word piece about tree roots, compose a poem on the membrane of a cell, hidden away in your eye, who will never see, but is vital to seeing; write a column about why you stopped watering your boyfriend, as he refuses to grow; draw the parallel between osmosis and migration in an editorial; or pen a short story detailing the last minutes of a slug, lonely on the garden path, succumbing to death by freshly ground pink (of course) Himalayan salt.

#throwbacktuesday Did you get a chance to peruse @saskia_soe 's poem "alles wat achter me ligt, bestaat niet"? Take a moment and count down with the 5 senses to calm down on this autumnal Tuesday evening.

Today's descriptive pondering highlights the all-pervasive presence of sound and vibrations. Echoing from daycare to canaries, @vos.pauw wonders what different aural environments surround each of us. Read now, link in bio!
