Australia needs all of its stories to inspire the world, not just those told by people in power.
Step from the herd. Listen and get HEARD! A poetry slam is a place for all voices.

In the lead-up to the Mparntwe Heats & Central Australian Finals Laurie May and Andrew Cox will host two dynamic poetry workshops. This Poetry Workshop with Andrew Cox as well as a Writing for Stage Workshop with Laurie May.

Join iconic performance poet Andrew Cox for a pre-slam session to learn from one of the best in the country. Andrew will guide you through the workshop and have you feeling confident and inspired.
