Loud Poets Open Mic
(Mon 29 Sep, Mon 13 Oct, Mon 10 Nov, Mon 24 Nov & Mon 8 Dec: 7pm)
Join us for fist-thumping, pint-drinking, side-tickling, award-winning poetry! Loud Poets invite poets to share their work at their regular open mic, now taking place at the Scottish Storytelling Centre in the relaxed surroundings of the Storytelling Court. All styles of poetry are welcome and with a different feature performer every time, this event offers a supportive, creative environment for all.
Doors will open at 6:30pm for a 7pm start with a twenty-minute interval at around 8pm, wrapping up around 9.30pm.
Loud Poets will be managing sign-ups. To sign up to perform, please fill out the sign-up form for the date on which you'd like to perform. This form will close one week before the event, after which they will email you to let you know if you have a guaranteed performance spot. Two spots are always left open to be filled by random draw from poets who sign up on the door. Slots are five minutes and poets are welcome to perform as many or few poems as you would like within that time. You are welcome to go under the five minutes, but please do not go over out of respect to your fellow performers.
A message from Loud Poets about this event:
"At our open mic and all
of our events, we endeavour to create a safe, welcoming space for all to
attend and share their work. We ask performers to be respectful of the
diversity of our experiences. We do not tolerate any forms of
discrimination and harassment. Don't punch down. Performers and
attendees who violate this policy will be asked to leave."
The Loud Poets Open Mic is organised by I Am Loud CIC, through Creative Scotland Multi-Year Funding. It is produced and hosted by Mark Gallie.
These events are free and non-ticketed, but capacity is limited so get down early to guarantee a seat!
