PROJECTS
word/slam
A celebration of individuality, life experiences, human connection and spoken-word performance.
Words are life: they are mantras, medicine, weapons, prisons and liberation, sanctuary, sabotage, identity, disguise, protection, destruction, devotion, they are creation, wisdom, connection. They are our heritage and our future. They are us.
'Word/Slam' brings spoken word workshops to communities, encouraging self-expression, empathy & understanding; exploring identity and discovering the voice within, to connect & to inspire empowered storytelling.
Sharing our words brings powerful change, within ourselves and others, so poetry slam performance opportunities are an important and exciting part of what we work towards. Ready your ears...
LOOPS - POET
'Loops' is Laura's pseudonym for her poetry. 'Loops' seems fitting; having been Laura's family nickname since childhood it's very much part of who she is, whilst 'loops' also feel prevalent in the world around us -
from our handwriting on the page
and the stories we tell
and re-tell;
to memories relived
and hopes laid out
for
the
future;
energy cycles;
musical loops;
repeated patterns;
beginnings, endings and
beginnings again...
- reflective of life and what it means to be human, a major driver for Laura's writing.
Passionate about poetry since her teens, Loops finds it a beautiful way to explore & express thoughts and feelings; the wit and poignancy of language, the joyful, cathartic and hopeful connection wordplay can bring - in even the briefest of honestly & carefully stitched lines; the space between the text saying as much as the words themselves.
