SPEECHWATER comprises:

• 17 SPEECHWATER-poems, splattered into the microphone by Chaimir, Roy, Sjoerd, Chaimir, Vera, Esther, Charlotte, Robyn, Nikki, Chaimir, Zubeijde, Robyn, Christel, Patricia, Sita, Amin and Malcolm. Nobody stayed dry during these sessions.

   

• the water-salute "Há! twee oh!" (H2O), called out in choir by the authors. It sounds at the beginning of the series of recitations to draw the attention of the water flowing by.

• the immense water-word list that, unfortunately, shrunk to a mere 105 words after the dirty words were deleted. This part was read with a dry mouth and is audible as a non-stop-water-word-flow in the background of the SPEECHWATER-poems.
