Tees Women Poets are now accepting applications for the 2024 Spoken Word Boot Camp, a unique opportunity for women and gender non-conforming poets in Teesside to attend free masterclass training in performing their poetry. Poets must be 18+, but there’s no upper age limit.
“If you’re looking to start your spoken poetry journey – this course is incredible. Not only are the sessions incredibly fun and engaging but the network of women you will be surrounded with is incredible. I have made huge progress over the weeks and did my first open mic before the course ended- something that really terrified me previously. I’ve learned to believe in my words and just have fun with poetry!”
Graduates of their 2023 Boot Camp have gone on to take up multiple paid performance opportunities with the Tees Women Poets – you can read about their experiences here. The closing date for applications is Monday 3rd June 2024. To apply simply email Tees Women Poets three poems and a bit about yourself to teeswomenpoets@gmail.com
