October edition – follow your nose

words out loud ballarat for october 2018Words Out Loud is turning super sleuth in October and ‘following its nose’ to a great evening of spoken word.

The October 11 event (note: this is a week earlier than it normally would be) will be held at the Printers Room, in the basement of Sebastiaans at the corner of Mair and Lydiard streets. The full menu will be available, as well as a $20 two-course meal deal . Doors open about 6pm if you’d like to dine early.

The event encourages poets, writers and raconteurs to share their work, or favourite pieces by others, for five-minute open mic sessions. The theme isn’t compulsory.

Enter via Mair St. Take in the air in the beer garden. Enjoy the show from couches, the tables or a seat by the bar. Gold coin donation appreciated. Performances begin from 7pm.

This is a great opportunity to road test new material, celebrate a success or share some inspiration, or simply enjoy a diverse range of spoken word.

Progress report 3: The writers are fast approaching the end of their “official duties”!

Their pieces have been submitted, edited and proofed. Copies have been sent to the Arts Academy to be turned into stunning graphic posters. And recording is almost finished.

Writers have been given the option to be recorded reading their work, with the audio to be shared on this website to enhance the exhibition. Guest readers have done the job for those who weren’t able to do it in person.

And over at SHAC, production has begun on a slick magazine-style portfolio to collect the art, the texts and the graphic art, which will make a pretty darn cool memento.
