POETRY WARNING FOLLOWS:
OMG! The OPENMOUTH POETRY SESSIONS return! From the murky depths of perth underground word culture comes a poetry reading like no other. Forget the traditional dry and sombre poetry readings. This is hectic and eclectic. This is a blending of genre. This is poetic collaboration and experimentation at the forefront of poetic discourse.
YOU ARE WELCOME to consume and/or participate in the OPENMOUTH - EVERY LAST THURSDAY of the month from 8pm at the Velvet Lounge in Mt Lawley. Starts 30th MARCH 2006...
HEY YOU!
- SEE
- HEAR
- TOUCH
- TASTE
- AND SMELL
- PERTH'S FRESHEST WORDMONGERS IN THE FLESH: BE ONE!
Openmouth wants YOU!
We want to stuff as many poets and word artists into a 4 hour timeslot as possible.
To break up the dribble, we'll also feature fresh, local original bands delivering an special acoustic set each and every month.
We declare that the poets of Perth should get excited.
We should get rockin and get crankin!
Wanna SLAM?
Openmouth SLAMS: We're asking YOU to compete in a one hour slam style event each month, where a panel of randomly chosen audience members get to judge who comes back next month as a featured poet. We ask you to present your best work on stage in a 3 minute time limit, as a team or as an individual. As well as the er, vainglorious feeling of victory? - the winner will also recieve... prizes.
What is a slam?: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slam_Poetry
Begining 30th March 2006 at 8pm sharp - and continuing every last Thursday of the month - we aim to make poetry a valid and consumable, real and raucous tool for passionate expression and consumption.
Embrace Semiotic Warfare!
We embrace collaboration.
WOODWORK POETZINE: We'll also be producing a regular zine and encourage zinemakers to random swap/trade zine-arts products at Openmouth.
Wanna READ/PERFORM? - Get in touch now - or rock up and put yr name down to read you work. We want to prove to punters that poetry can be sexy, that it can be nasty, and that it can transform society.
We are telling the world at large that poetry is far more relevant today that any other artform known to humanity.
Get on the RAPIDFIRE Open Mic and spurt out some choice words to the masses.
