Preparing for the Poets

Apples and Snakes is England's leading organisation for performance poetry and spoken word. The organisation runs performance poetry events, educational workshops and provides top quality training and artist opportunities.

Since January of this year Apples and Snakes have been using Floor 5 @ Norham House as a space for a monthly Newcastle ‘Scratch Club’.   Throughout the afternoon poets gather to share skills and develop new techniques, and then at 7pm they strut their stuff to an invited audience and ask for some constructive feedback.

This Sunday is going to be the last Scratch Tyne hosted by F5 @ NH – when the next scratch event takes place the F5 gang will have moved to their new base at Commercial Union House.  So.  We’re going to make tomorrow both lively and lovely.

Schedule is simple;

For information about ‘the rehearsal bit’ go to FB @ https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=128383070576432

Information about ‘the performance bit’ is as follows;

• Guests welcome from 6.30pm
• Performances @ 7pm
• Shared food & creative chat @ 8pm.  

(If you want to stay for food please bring a couple of gold coins to put in the pot).

And all through today we’re preparing the space, because we want to make tomorrow a bit special. We’re thinking the projection of poetry films during & after the food.

.... oh yes.  It’s going to be lovely and lively.

Scratch Tyne is private event.
