First Monthly Writing Workshop!

Interested in the slam but not feeling confident enough to compete yet?

Been slamming for a while and wanting to push yourself to a new level or take a new approach?

Starting in October, the Peterborough Poetry Collective will be offering a workshop space on the second Thursday of the month from 5-7pm at the Spill.

We've talked about the need for this space for a long while, so we're stoked to finally be offering it. Bring your writing or just a blank notebook. The workshop will be spent on whatever participants need: writing exercises, practice on the mic, feedback on poems, performance tips. Let’s share our expertise and support one another in the challenge of writing for performance!

This month the workshop will be facilitated by Ziy.

The workshop will be followed by a Peterborough Spoken Word Collective meeting. All are invited to attend.

Hey everyone!

It's been a while since we've posted here, but we're going to start posting regularly because we know not everyone is on facebook (or wants to be.)

The regular slam is back, the last Thursday of every month at the Spill Cafe in downtown Peterborough. Sign-up starts at 7:30 and the slam is at 8pm. Cost is $5 or PWYC. ALL are welcome.

We have lots of great features lined up for the season. We'll keep you posted month to month.

And we'll be posting scores here too.

If you do wanna connect at facebook, we're Peterborough Poetry Slam.

Hope to hear you on the mic soon,
