Wellington poetry slam FINAL 2019 - Festival of slam
Here it is, the grand finale. Experience the energy of some of the capital’s best poets as they battle it out to be the new Wellington Poetry Slam Champion!
Date: Saturday 2 November| Time: 7:00 pm to 1:00 pm | Cost $15 waged - $10 unwaged | Venue: Taiwhanaga Kahau — Auditorium lower ground floor
It’s all been building up to this. Across the year, Motif Poetry and Poetry in Motion have been running slams, now the winners will come together and battle it out to be Wellington’s 2019 Poetry Slam Champion.
Poetry Slam is the competitive format taking the world by storm. A high energy, enthralling event where performance poets are judged by random members of the audience in an arbitrary but totally engaging way.
Since 2011, many of Greater Wellington’s finest performance poets have competed and this year’s slams have been no different. Sold out events, packed open mics and searing hot verse screams out that poetry is alive and kicking in the capital.
The winners will travel to Christchurch in November to compete for the title of New Zealand Slam Champ, as well as a guest spot at Verb Festival Poetry Showcase.
Be quick, this event always sells out! Come prepared for a CASH ONLY bar.
