Poetry and spoken word for the 21st century
Soho Theatre
Wednesday 28 May
8pm
A decade is a long time in performance poetry. Tonight we present one performer who's going from strength to strength after ten years in the business, another who's spent the last ten years carving a substantial niche for himself, and one talented newcomer with a promising poetic future in front of him. Add an international artist who's busy redefining the whole concept of spoken word, and we've got a crash course in the nation's favourite underground artform.
Featuring
Patience Agbabi tattooed poetry ambassador who has strutted her stuff everywhere from Eton College to Namibia; now promoting her new collection Bloodshot Monochrome.
Luke Wright Edinburgh Fringe institution, star of the hit theatre show Poet & Man, and the creative force behind Latitude Festival's stand-up poetry arena.
Keith Jarrett not the famous jazz muso, but a hotly-tipped and charismatic new face on London's poetry stages.
plus special guest
Rosie Dennis well-respected Sydney voice-artist, known for blurring the lines between text and movement; tonight airing her Love Song Dedication piece.
Come along and explore the world of performance poetry: the scene where every syllable takes you closer to perfection.
