ABOUT US


Electricity is on the move. So, too, is language. The 'Lectric Collective is interested in orchestrating collisions between the language arts and other art forms, to re-establish a kinetic relationship among them, and to ignite artistic mobility through its diverse contemporary vehicles. We are devoted to process and the healthy continuation of artistic junctions.

Together, the collective has written one collaborative chapbook (One Hundred), a short play (Breadsongs), has created a variety of visual works, and curated a number of events, detailed on the PROJECTS page.

The collective was formed by Jillian Roberts, Kelsa Trom, and Sarah Rothberg in March 2010. They once resided happily together in Oakland, CA and are now scattered between San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Brooklyn.

As it may have become clear to many of you by now, activities of the collective have somewhat slowed, as our physical binding has been spread thin across the country, with Jill now residing in Los Angeles, and my having relocated to New York to pursue a degree at the interactive telecommunications program. Kelsa has remained rooted alongside her various plants in the bay area, allowing us to form a nice country-spanning scalene triangle that is somewhat reminiscent of last summer's project route.

I think I speak for the whole triangle when I say we miss each other painfully, but we will continue to collaborate virtually and surely when physiology allows it, physically as well, at one of our points or maybe even our centroid. So, sohcahtoa suckers, see you soon. 

Sined, 

Sarah
