Strap in for a wild ride through laugh-out-loud poetry games and audience participation with the talented team from Poetry In Action.About this Event
In this pop-up performance at the Library by the innovative theatre company Poetry In Action, we’ll meet Zephyr the slam poetry wannabe and have some fun with poetry.
Zephyr is a slam poet wannabe who is about to bomb (badly) in a high-stakes rap battle. But a mysterious collapse onstage lands our hero in a strange world where a poetry coach and some lively locals bring to life the five core elements of poetry: Rhyme, Rhythm, Imagery, Story and Theme.
Along the way, Zephyr must face fears, learn techniques, and find a truly unique voice. With audience interaction, laugh-out-loud poetry games, and an engaging narrative to capture the imagination, this playful adventure by Poetry In Action makes poetic devices come alive for the audience — and reminds us all why words matter.
Poetry In Action is an innovative touring theatre company dedicated to unlocking the power of words for everyone.
Suitable for 8–13 year olds. All children must be accompanied by an adult for the duration of the event.
