This is not a “snap your fingers politely” kind of night.

A RITUAL in disguise, as a poetry night. Its poetry that might hit a nerve and sound that will bridge consciousness in human experience, music and movement that fills the gaps between words.

A room full of a community feeling and vibrating the same or not at the same time, set inside of Youngblood Africa we gather to taste the poetry of being alive infused in VOICE, SOUND BODY & SOUL.

ABOUT THE LINE UP ARTISTRY:

Brian- Poetry of the moving body. @awakehumanbeing

Denise Onen- Audio alchemist who distils her sensitivity to life into graceful and eclectic expression. @denise_1n

Tevy- Poet and a living expression of the body, soul and emotional depth, accessing ancestral tapestry while working with the unseen and the felt. @tevy_pires

Thabo Krouwkam- Turns restraint into release, through music, movement and play, channelling what was once held back into something raw, and unmistakably alive. @thabo_and_the_crows

Tarynn O- Weaver of wildness and wonder, working with the moment as guide and mystery as her mentor. We never know what’s going to happen. @tarynnowonderer
