We were gratified with the huge turnout for September’s edition, with almost 20 performers taking the stage. A few new faces as well, which is always a pleasure to see. The theme was “taking flight”, but there were a few who decided, coincidentally, “taking blood” was also good! Listen to a selection on our audio page.
Stacy Livitsanis at Words Out Loud in September.
Words 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.
