UK Poetry Slam Champion Tyrone Lewis teams up with Writer and Director Kayla Martell Feldman to bring you PROCESS, a monthly Spoken Word night featuring some of the most exciting acts across the scene.

Time to go out with a bang! It's the final Process of 2025 so let's go out with a bang! Helping bring that, we've got Ayana Playle coming down as our fantastic headliner for the night! And that's not forgetting our incredible Open Mic! If you don't manage to snag one of our pre-booked open mic slots, you can pop your name in the dino-hat on the door and hope the poetry gods smile upon you.

Ayana is a spoken word artist from near Brighton who writes and performs to those she can hold captive for long enough. She likes words - both individual and together (mostly together, or these would be very short poems) - works with books, and is still getting to grips with mic stands (WHY ARE THEY ALL DIFFERENT?).

Recently she’s been writing about lesbians, break-ups, lesbian break-ups, what the heck is happening in the world, OCD, and that feeling when you lose your place in a book but then open it to exactly the right page. Her poetry’s sometimes funny, sometimes not, and quite often a bit gay.

Doors: 6:30pm
Start: 7pm
End: 10pm (please respect our neighbours and leave quietly!)

Code of Conduct
We do not tolerate any abuse. By attending a Process event, you agree to the following code of conduct:

Don't be a dick. By which we mean, be respectful of each other and don't kick down. No racism, sexism, transphobia, homophobia, biphobia, antisemitism, Islamophobia, xenophobia, ableism, classism, fascism, or any other kind of “ism” (socialism and optimism are allowed).
Open mic slots are 5 minutes long! At 4 minutes and 45 seconds, we'll ring a bell to signal that you have 15 seconds to wrap it up. 15 seconds is shorter than you think!
If your set includes potentially upsetting/triggering material, please give a content warning or trigger warning at the start - we won't include that as part of your five minutes. If your performance includes nudity and you don't give a warning in advance, you will be banned for life (this includes all nipples).

Please note that we film and photograph every event - if you don't want any video or images of you to go online, please let Kayla or Tyrone know. You can do so either on the night or afterwards.

Sensory and Quiet Space
The performance space has colourful lights but no strobe lights.
Stimming is welcome in the space, as is wearing headphones or earplugs, or playing with fidget toys. We recognise and respect that “active listening” looks different on everyone.
