Monthly spoken word session with an all-female cast of performers, a special guest writer and an open mic at Hull Central Library.
Women of Words is back at Hull Central Library this Wednesday 4 November, from 2:00 to 4:00pm. It's a monthly spoken word performance space for female performers, and this session features poet and author Wendy Pratt as the special guest.
If you've never been, here's how it works: the collective's core members share their prose, poetry, plays and novels, and each session pairs a special guest writer with performances from the group. There are also open mic slots on the agenda, and anyone attending is invited to share their own writing in a safe, supportive and comfortable space. Men are welcome alongside women, and the audience is billed as warm and encouraging.
It's a broad mix, too. The focus is on spoken word, but that opens up to prose, song and drama, so you'll hear a range of voices and styles in one afternoon. The guest writer takes centre stage, and the rest of the session is built around the group's own work and the open mic, which means there's plenty of room for new material to get its first hearing.
