Velvet Verses: spoken word culture and a microphone

Unwanted Words
do 15 jan - do 11 jun

Velvet Verses is an assembly of featured local and visiting spoken word artists, poets and musicians, that will create original works - inspired by a thematic writing prompt or the moment.

Join us to savor the fruits of their labor and be inspired through the intimate world of spoken word and performance art. Following the curated set, Velvet Verses powered by Unwanted Words Project and presented by Tuaca Kelly, invites you to step up to the Open Mic.

All forms of literary expression are welcome, and the performances can be in any language, as long as they stay within the 5-minute time limit. Sign-ups will take place during the evening itself.  You are especially encouraged to participate in the Open Mic, if...

It is your first time here, at any open mic or first time to share work....
If the work is raw, unpolished and in development...
If your knees knock in nervousness...
If your consonants climb mountains to reach enunciation and coherence (dysphasia) ...
