Join Sappho Events for an inspiring evening of queer spoken word poetry at Glass House, London's newest LGBTQIA+ venue in Shoreditch.
On the night we will have a few established queer poets perform their work, alongside an open-mic line-up of new and emerging artists.
This event is meant to give queer poets a chance to get back on stage and perform their work live for an audience. After so long staying at home during the pandemic, we hope to encourage people to try out new work, and maybe even try live performance for the first time.
We also encourage acoustic singer-songwriters to perform their work on the evening.
Performers will each have a 5-10 minute set, with timed slots handed out on the evening from 6:30pm. Please arrive before 7pm to reserve your spot, but we also welcome those who spontaneously decide on the night to perform in the second half of the evening.
Date: Thursday 17 November, 7-8pm
Location: The Commons, Glass House, London (118 Bethnal Green Road, London, E2 6DG). The nearest station is Shoreditch High Street Overground
Price: £10 entry
Our event welcomes LBGTQIA+ women, trans and non-binary people.
Please note the venue we are using for open mic is accessible, with accessible toilet access.
