Australian Poetry Slam 2020

THE WORLD’S BEST SPOKEN WORD ARTISTS COVERGE ONLINE FOR STORY WEEK 2020

Word Travels is a not-for-profit arts organisation, we organise literary and literacy programs for festivals, private companies, libraries, schools and cultural institutions around the Asia Pacific with a focus on developing performing writers. You can find us in theatres, schools, board rooms, health institutions, night clubs, prisons, regional towns, abandoned restaurants and libraries.

We believe that spoken-word artists, poets, hip-hop artists, story-tellers and monologists can develop an industry equal to that of actors, musicians and writers. Our main objective is to inspire people to tell their stories in creative ways, primarily through live performance.

From 06-14 November, the wildest wordsmiths from around the world will come together for Australia’s largest performing writer’s program, Word Travels’ Story Week. This year’s program goes virtual and international, bringing together an electrifying line-up of literary talent from across Australia and the world for an action-packed week of wordsmithery.
