Poiesis-Play Poetry Slam

Location: The Arts House-The Hall
Time: 7:30pm
Nearest MRT: City Hall / Clarke Quay
{POIESIS} Play Poetry Slam™ is a one night-only ticketed event, hosted by veteran theatre actress Karen Tan, that plays up the performance element of a poetry slam, to increase accessibility and interest in the literary arts amongst young adults.
Young, budding poet-performers are selected through an open call to create original poetry pieces inspired by themes of escapism and the blurring of the lines between reality and illusion and the power of imagination.
These poet-performers, who may perform individually, in pairs, or in groups of three, will draw on staging techniques such as dialogue and movement to enhance the reading.
The 3-8 minute ‘mini poetry plays’ will be judged by random audience members and literary and performance experts, with the overall winner receiving mentorship and further performance opportunities with Word Forward.
So come down for an interesting night of poetry and fun!
As part of the i-AM Festival 2012 in conjunction with The LASALLE Show 2012, Project Ecclesia would like to present Poiesis, a poetry meets-theatre performance.
In partnership in the Word Forward and proud first time sponsors of the arts, SpecTech Engineering Pte Ltd.
