January's WorcesterSpeakeasy by RACHEL CLUTTERBUCK
The inaugural WorcesterSpeakEasy was held at the 'Firefly' in Lowesmoor on Monday January 30th and proved a spectacular success. The concept behind this innovative bi-monthly event is simple; WorcesterSpeakEasy aims to provide a vibrant new platform for performers and audiences to share and enjoy the spoken word in all of its guises and anyone with a love of language can get involved.
On opening night an audience of over 100 turned up to lend their support and were treated to three hours of electrifying invention from a diverse range of voices from around the West Midlands. Poetry, prose and lyric were all well represented.
If you would like to have your say at the next WorcesterSpeakEasy, on March 27th, please contact Rachel Clutterbuck or James Smith at Worcesterspeakeasy @ yahoo.co.uk or you can sign up on the night. March’s SpeakEasy will also incorporate SeeEasy, where alongside spoken word performances we will be showcasing work by sculptors and artists from around the Midlands. If you are interested in exhibiting it is essential that you contact us well in advance via e-mail.
WorcesterSpeakEasy is held on the last Monday of every other month at the Firefly in Worcester. Entrance is free and everyone is welcome.
Please note that all material should be original and performances are limited to ten minutes. Artists to arrive by 7.30pm, event begins at 8pm. We look forward to hearing from you.
