POETRY & JAZZ – WAVES & RIPPLES
– Submission deadline: Wednesday 20 August 2025
– Two performances: 20 & 24 September 2025
– Rehearsals: Wednesday evenings 27 Aug–17 Sept
What we are looking for:
– Poetry, monologues and songs on the theme of ‘waves and ripples’. As usual, you can approach the theme from a positive or negative light, and focus on concrete or abstract concepts. Are these ripples in a lake or the fabric of time? Are they waves of nausea or the gentle rise and fall of memories? Are they falling dominos or chain reactions?
– Pieces must be the performer’s own work, or else they must have the rights holder’s permission to perform
– The focus is on contemporary, 21st-century work
What is unlikely to be accepted:
– Shakespeare or other pieces with archaic language
– Anything that we’ve heard a million times before
– Song lyrics recited as poetry
Pls note:
This is a recitation not a reading, so you will be expected to know your piece/s by heart.
