AND WE WANT YOUR WORDS ON STAGE!
August BAD!SLAM!NO!BISCUIT!
brings you a stage, two minutes, cheering, two microphones, yelling, five
judges, heckling, the audience, arm waving, The Score Adder, pointing, a first
feature act, two MCs, a sacrificial poet, a second feature act, prizes, The
Master of Conflict, and the Hadley Memorial Slots, all for poetry, all for
glory, all because BAD!SLAM!NO!BISCUIT! is the Poetry Slam in the Phoenix Pub!
And this month we plan to send
poetry to the ACT Australian Poetry Slam Final.
Or not, we won’t make poetry go, that's up to you, but poetry can go if the ACT Australian Poetry Slam Final Spots are claimed.
And these spots are not to be
confused with The Hadley Memorial Slots, this month, in loving memory may he
rest in peace, the Slots are filled by Ryan Schipper.
And because poetry, slots, spots,
in memoriam, and arm waving are somehow not enough we bring you feature acts:
Ell Bella is a Melbourne based
MC, street performer, juggler and acrobat. Her solo street shows have taken her
around the world and around her home country of Australia. She regularly MC's
at Melbourne's 'Variety Collective', and in her own show Ell Bella's Late Night
Variety Assortment, as well as in a number of one-off events. As a corporate
juggler she is one of Australia's finest, performing solo or with other circus
artists.
And to clearly demonstrate that
Bella and Bela are not pronounced the same we bring you a second feature act.
