Your Voice Could Change The World - performance

Description

You've learnt what slam poetry is all about, how to write, perform, and make people listen in the workshops, now it's time to put it into action. 

This series, Your voice could change the world, ends with a performance where participants have a chance to practice sharing their work to an encouraging crowd in a friendly, non-competitive setting.

Slam poetry has been used to amplify the voices that need to be heard to enact change. From climate action, women’s rights, mental health advocacy, to preservation of First Nations culture, and everything in between. If everyone was listening to you, what would you want them to hear?

Spoken Word SA is the caretaker of the South Australian leg of the Australian Poetry Slam. Presenters have shared their words around the country, won prestigious competitions, and have a passion for mentoring new talent. 

For more information about the two workshops visit the Your Voice Can Change the World event series page.
