The RAP Party Remix: Open Mic
WE bring the songs, YOU brings the poems!
The Rhythm And Poetry Party, the legendary no-clutter, no-fuss, night of poetry and music, changes its format for the first in over 10 and 65 events! The traditional simple format – where 10 writers share work and after each, the Dj will plays two songs – is completely flipped, completely REMIXED for our first ever OPEN MIC night...
Instead, WE choose the songs, and you the audience bring the poems! Let our songs be your inspiration! You have a month to write in response. You Bring your lyrical creations with you on the night and you might be the lucky name we pull from the hat. Our stage is yours!
