Spoken Maik #5

Spoken word, a form of oral poetry with experiential, political or satirical elements, focuses on the words themselves, their dynamics, the tone of voice, the gestures and expressions that accompany the utterance of the speech. It draws its roots from gospel, jazz, soul, Beat Generation poetry, the Harlem Renaissance movement. Today it is a global and diverse artistic medium of expression.

Curated by Stavros Anagnou and Niki Papadogiannaki, the fifth multilingual “open mic” evening of the season will be hosted at KET on Thursday 8 February.

Those who want to participate should come half an hour before the start time (19:30) and add their name to the list of participants. Each act can last up to 5 minutes.
