The Dreading Slam FREE Poetry event, Reading
Overview
Dreading Slam is a friendly, open mic poetry competition, we welcome poets of all standards, as well as any audience who want the chance to appreciate live poetry. The reason for having a competition, is to encourage the poet to perform work which connects with the audience. Making the poetry a contest encourages the poets to make their readings entertaining, and the show more fun
Each poet reads 2 of their own poems (max 3 minutes) these are scored out of ten by three members of the audience who have volunteered to be judges. Top three poets qualify for a final, to find the best poet in Berkshire (for few weeks).
There is also a lively quick-fire round of short poems this is up to 5 lines long, won by the loudest cheer!
Dreading Slam meets on the First Sunday of each month at the Rising Sun Arts Centre. Cans and bottles of beer/ cider etc. are on sale and also tea and coffee. There is no food on sale.
This could be an intriguing evening, budding poets always welcome, although you are not required to participate.
