This Is Just To Say: spoken word open mic
Oxford Poetry Library presents a spoken word open mic night! Join us in the library on the first Tuesday of every month to enjoy all manner of word-weaving, story-sharing, and spell-casting.
We welcome poets, storytellers, and writers of all kinds to share their work (or the work of others) in a safe, supportive, and inclusive space. Slots are 5 minutes long, and performers sign up on the door – first come, first served!
The theme for the evening is PORTALS AND PARALLELS. Poetry can be a gateway to another world. We want your alternative dimensions, your parallel universes – give us just a peek behind the curtain!
Every month we feature a performer with a slightly extended set and this month’s featured performer to grace our stage will be Rawz. Rawz is a multidisciplinary artist, poet, musician and MC from Oxford. His practice centres around words and music, and is rooted in social justice and the exploration and understanding of our interconnected worlds. Portals and Parallels is the title of his upcoming theatre show which he’ll be bringing to the Old Fire Station as part of Offbeat Festival in September. You can find more info about Rawz here https://linktr.ee/rawz_official
The session starts at 7.30pm (performers are advised to arrive from 7pm), at The Community Works (21 Park End St, OX1 1HU).
£5 entry (£2 concessions), performers free.
There will be a bar at this event, so it is no longer BYOB!
The building is accessible, but if you have any specific access needs, please drop us an email at oxfordpoetrylibrary@gmail.com beforehand!
