Guest performer for Heat 4: Cecilia Ronson
Cecilia Ronson (she/her) performed spoken word poetry for the first time in 2020. Motivated to have a “Taylor Swift” moment, the spontaneous sign up ultimately ended up being the best thing she has ever done. The connection she has with the Adelaide poetry community mostly stems from ‘Mixed Bag Adelaide’. Twice a month she takes the stage to perform her original work and to host the events. Her time running Mixed Bag has sparked a new appreciation to listening to poetry and never wanting to stop learning. Cecilia will not define her poetry style anytime soon, playing with rhythm, improv and connecting with her internal emotions, every piece is strung together by her passion for the spoken word.
