Transcend the brittle self through performance. Witness and be witnessed. Leap now, land later.
Your experimental Thursday Open Mic / Jam Night has arrived! Hosted by local freestyle wizard Flash Poetry, all aboard for an intimate night of performance magic, communal risk taking and musical fusion!
Holy Fool: A person willing to risk embarrassment or failure for the sake of truth, art and insight.
Encouraging the bold, foolish and experimental. Extra points for first time performers or anyone trying something they’ve never done before. No standards. No judgement. No time limit. Read a poem, sing a song or give a speech on which cloud storage system is best. ALL performance types welcome.
First one is Thursday, September 18th.
How it works: 2 open mic sets with live freestyle jams to break them up. Encouraging all freestylers and vocalists to jump up and do their thing during the sets. Sign-up for the open mic with the form below or on the night from 6pm onwards!
