Abergavenny Writing Festival – Youth Poetry Slam

Upstairs at the Chapel

Saturday 13th April 2019, 2-4pm

If you love drama and poetry, then the Aber Writing Fest Youth Poetry Slam workshop is a must. Just come along and be prepared to write a poem, rehearse it and then slam in front of an appreciative audience. The winner will receive a special certificate and a prize.

Glenn Carmichael and Claire Williamson have been running poetry slam workshops and hosting slams since 1994. They will teach you everything you need to know to write a brilliant poem and coach you so you’re ready to perform in the poetry slam which will take place at the end of the workshop.

Glenn recently toured with SW Collective: ‘Flash’ a spoken word show about moments, and ‘Count Me In’ a promenade spoken word and visual show based in a bingo hall. Claire is author of Visiting the Minotaur (Seren, 2018) and three other poetry collections. Claire’s poetry has been highly commended and she is adoctoral candidate at Cardiff University.

Recommended for ages 7 plus. Children must be accompanied by an adult.

Online tickets available here.

Tickets £6 per child.
