About the speakers:

Former Berlin resident worked with both Bowie and Marlene Dietrich, and his books — which have been translated into a dozen languages — include UK top ten Stalin's Nose, Under the Dragon and Berlin: Imagine a City, "the most extraordinary work of history I've ever read" said the Washington Post.

California-native and Berlinerin since 2016, is an extensively touring poet and creative writing facilitator, with appearances at Glastonbury Festival, Edinburgh Fringe, Poetry Ireland, the Scottish Storytelling Centre, WABE and more. She regularly teaches on Berlin literature, and facilitates for the Royal National Theatre (London) and others.

Rory and Demi debuted "Bowie in Berlin" — a discussion of the creative icon and how his Berlin sojourn inadvertently shaped their own Berlin journeys — at the inaugural Sherborne Travel Writing Festival in 2023.
