SUP Central is back at Grey Lynn Library!!!
Stand Up Poetry Open Mic nights make spoken word poetry relevant and accessible by providing a public platform for emerging spoken word poets.
Open mic is open to all styles, ages and backgrounds. Bring a poem, verse or just yourself!
FREE - Sign up on the day.
This is an uncensored space but hate speech free.
Feature:
Jai Selkirk is a Natonal Poetry Slam Finalist, WTFL Slam Champion and Auckland Slam Runner Up. Blending elements of Rap with Spoken Word Poetry, Jai showcases a slick wordplay with raw truth telling. When not on the mic you'll find Jai navigating his forklift with the same precision he would his words.

She is a recent graduate of South Seas: Film & Television School and has a background in the performing arts as well. She writes about reclaiming whakapapa, language and her cultural identity as an urban Māori. She will be attending Te Wānanga Takiura next year, studying Rumaki Reo.
