One last heat. One last chance to make it through to the SA Final of the Australian Poetry Slam…
ntestants have 2 minutes to speak, scream, howl, whisper or sing their original poem. There are no props, no costumes, no music: just the poet and the words. Judges are selected at random from the audience. The heat winners compete again in the SA State Final at Goodwood Theatre, Thursday, 30th September, and the two top finalists then go on to compete in the Australian Poetry Slam National Showcase.

Guest performer: Frankly
Quirky and eclectic, 25 year old Frankly, has been creating intimate performances across the East End and Festival scenes for the better part of a decade. Likened to Amanda Palmer and Regina Spektor, her compositions dance between whimsical and delicate, to dark and emotive. Accompanied by dynamic vocal textures and playful showmanship, audiences are absorbed by Frankly’s animated presence and candid approach to storytelling that centers around personal stories, mental health, feminism, the occult and the ridiculousness of life.
