Get ready to shake the dust! Apples and Snakes, in partnership with London Teenage Poetry Slam and The Albany, are recruiting performance poets for a national celebration of young people’s voices and the power of spoken word.
Poet coaches and shadows are required to work with young people aged 13 to 16 from Feb-June 2012, delivering creative and interactive poetry workshops and facilitating the creation of group pieces for performance at a regional slam final in June 2012, and, for selected teams, the national Shake the Dust weekend in London in July 2012. Shake the Dust, supported by Arts Council England, is being delivered in partnership with venues and slam producers in Birmingham, Leeds, London, Manchester, Nottingham, Norwich, Plymouth, Southampton and Stockton-on-Tees, who will be leading the recruitment process for the project in these areas.
For more information and how to apply visit the Shake the Dust website or email Kimberly Sutherland. The closing date for applications is 11th November 2011.
