Yesterday, I gave one of my famous all-day performance poetry workshops – this time at the University of Pretoria’s main campus, to/with around 20 or so poets and students. I think this had to be one of the most prolific, enthusiastic and inspired groups I’ve yet had the pleasure of facilitating. And to end on a high note, it seems like my dream of bringing a South African slam team over to the US nationals might finally take shape; 3 of the more outgoing poets have decided to try and spearhead getting a registered slam venue up and running in P-town. Yours truly may act as the team ‘coach’ / slammaster. Rock on.
