Emily Crocker

Emily grew up in the outer-suburbs of Sydney. She has since found a home in the Wollongong spoken-word community, including performances with Wollongong Writer's Festival and at The Vault Cabaret, Port Kembla. In 2016 she won The Rumble youth slam, and scored the opportunity to feature at the Australian Poetry Slam National Finals. Her work can be found in various Australian journals including Southerly, Verity La, Cordite, and Seizure. Emily habitually picks junk up and pockets it away only to turn it all out a week later asking 'what can I get for this?'.

Pablo Latona

Pablo Latona is a performer and teacher of physical theatre, based in Canberra, Australia. He has performed his unique routines all over the world, including at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, European Juggling Convention, Dublin International Arts Festival, Woodford Folk Festival, World Juggling Day and Adelaide Fringe Festival. Pablo’s professional recognition includes winning the 2005 National Buskers Competition, being shortlisted for Circus Oz, and getting a kiss from Kylie Minoque.

Reuben Ingall

Reuben Ingall grew up in Canberra, and studied computer music and interactive digital media at the Centre for New Media Arts at The Australian National University. He makes music through an array of home-made software patches, iteratively mangling his guitar, voice and other sources to create lonely pop and glitchy, psychedelic soundscapes. His other projects include a radio show, motion-capture 3D-drawing software, recording and mixing bands, and a novelty mashup-DJ act. He has worked on music for installations, theatre, film, and dance.

MAN FORCED TO EAT BEARD

Having survived the arrival and departure of Power Girl and a tired looking Superman BAD!SLAM!NO!BISCUIT! is back for another May edition of POETRY.

Yes another MAY edition

And yes,

POETRY.

That means we want your words on the stage at the Phoenix for TWO WHOLE MINUTES, or less.

It doesn’t actually have to be poetry;

we won’t judge what it is or what it is worth.

That’s why we have judges.

Words on stage, your words, that’s what we want.

So bring your beards to

the MAY edition of Bad!Slam!No!Biscuit! featuring:

JOSH INMANIA

He’s a poet!

And the ambulations of

PABLO!

He’s an entertainer specatculair (that’s French)

So for glory, kransky, action figures, gift vouchers, crappy books, maybe carrots, the MASTER OF CONFLICT, the SCORE ADDER and a chance to tell it how you see it and hopefully leave us all confused and none-the-wiser about how you tried to make us eat your underwear, join us for BAD!SLAM!NO!BISCUIT!.

THAT IS BAD!SLAM!NO!BISCUIT! AT THE PHOENIX

730pm sign-up, words start at 8pm, four or more first prizes, no props – which means Wheet Bix and custard on stage disqualify you! – an audience for you, no music, judges for your drinking pleasure and two minutes of original material by you on stage!
