SAT 14 SEPT

For the last two days, local high school poets, musicians

and dancers have been making cross-disciplinary

magic together with Show Ponies creator Freya Daly

Sadgrove. Come watch them put their poetic performance

experiments on stage for the first time!

Bringing this sell-out show to Ōtepoti for the first time,

Chinese-Kiwi writer Nathan Joe (2020 National Slam

Champ) has curated a celebration of BIPOC spoken word

artists. Dirty Passports features your favourite minorities

behaving badly, untwisting their tongues and shattering

stereotypes all for your displeasure.

Featuring David Eggleton (Rotuma, Tongana, Palagi),

Tough Guy (Ngāti Porou, Ngā Puhi), Ruby Macomber

(Rotuma, Ngāpuhi), and Rushi Vyas (South Asia, US).

Hosted by Nathan Joe (Chinese).

Since 2013, the Otago Poetry Slam has been an annual

highlight! This lively event brings together the most creative

poets in the region for a night of dynamic performances and

friendly competition with Motif Poetry's Amy Grace Laura

as MC. Whether you’re a seasoned poet or just starting out,

this slam offers a supportive atmosphere for everyone to

share their voice. Be a part of an unforgettable celebration

of poetry, creativity, and community!
