Swindon Youth Slam 2013 at the Arts Centre

 

Arts Centre

Old Town, Swindon

Saturday 11 May 2013

Fast-paced, fun-filled, fully-charged performance poetry! The heat is on to find the top young poets at this year’s Festival. Each year, the poems and performances get better and better. Audiences will be able to see young people draw words from their imagination and hit the stage with clever and quick-fire wordplay.

Following wordshops in schools across the region, delivered by seasoned slammers Sara-Jane Arbury and Marcus Moore, Swindon’s wittiest young wordsters will perform their most slamtastic poetry in a bid to reach the hearts and hearing parts of the audience, with wonderful words that reach parts that lesser words might not reach!

Who will become Swindon’s Poet Idols and have their names on the prestigious ninth Youth Slam Cup? Listen carefully, think hard, cheer loudly, and discover the truth that makes young minds tick.

The nine secondary schools taking part in this year’s ninth Swindon Youth Slam are The Commonweal School Performing Arts Academy, Highworth Warneford School, Isambard Community School, Kingsdown School, Larkmead School, Lydiard Park Academy, St Joseph’s Catholic College, Swindon Academy, and Royal Wootton Bassett Academy.
