Genevieve McClean emerged as a poet in the early nineties, reading in Auckland and then all over the country.
Her spoken word has informed her other work in different forms, -as a singer, actor, and film-maker, and with particular note: her solo play Word (a play on words 1998), and The New Language of Stasis in Exile (a collaborative post-structural lecture performance at the Uni 2004).
In 2006 after completing a period of interdisciplinary arts tuition at Unitec, she toured America as a poet with an eye out for different forms of presentation. In performance her poetry has developed to uphold experimentalism, improvised poetry; sound poetry, and collaborative musical spoken word.
Her recent short film: Stasis, explores existentialism in a brush with death and uses her recorded word performance. Currently Genevieve is working on a number of documentary projects under the insignia Fat Blossom Films, including a feature-length poetic documentary about New Zealand artists in Central Europe. She also produces an annual forum for Poetry-Film called the Projector Project, and a new theatre initiative called These Four Walls.
