Littleport Spoken Word Workshop and Slam

Calling all 13 – 16 year olds! If you love telling stories, rap or poetry, then you need to come along to the Littleport Spoken Word Workshop and Slam on Saturday 20^th June 2015!
Hosted by internationally-renowned poet Hollie McNish and freestyle rap champion Inja, this workshop will give you the chance to write about what’s important to you, tell stories and write lyrics with some of the best spoken word artists in the country!
Hollie McNish is a regular performer at Glastonbury Festival, on Channel 4, BBC Radio 1 Extra and at festivals and events around the world! She was UK Slam champion in 2009 too!
Inja is a top emcee, touring the world with major hip hop, drum n bass, dubstep and grime artists, as well as being a lyrical wizard when it comes to freestyling. He also hosts the UK and World DMCs – the world’s biggest DJ Championships.
We’re incredibly lucky that these two talented performers are able to host this workshop, as part of the Isle of Ely Arts Festival. So, if you’re aged 13 – 16, you really need to take advantage of this opportunity!
 The workshop runs from 10am until 3pm on Saturday 20^th June, and from 3pm – 4pm, you’ll get a chance to perform your work (if you want to) in front of family and friends.
Refreshments will be provided throughout the day, but attendees will be expected to bring their own packed lunches.
The workshop is being held at St George’s Church Room, St George’s Church, 30 Church Lane, Littleport CB6 1PS, and registration costs £4 per person.
