WOMAD 2023 will be announcing their line up on 20 October - Official Programme launch, plus we've got some teaser Music Announcements, STEAM, World of Words, Book Club, and so much more!
Get ready to celebrate #20years with us at WOMAD NZ 2023
As part of the World of Words programme, the WOMAD Poetry Slam 2023 showcases performance poets, putting them in the spotlight on the World of Words Stage, Kunming Garden.
A much-loved part of the festival programme, the Poetry Slam competition is all about poetry as a performance, a celebration of beats, verse, quips and rhythms that take poems from the page to the stage.
To celebrate National Poetry Day, organisers are opening up Poetry Slam Applications for 2023 with a message from the delightful Penny Ashton to all WOMAD’s wordsmiths.
The Slam Schedule
Saturday, March 18 - 4 pm, Kunming Garden
The contestants, festival-goers, will deliver their original spoken words in the hope of being crowned the WOMAD Slam Champ. WOMAD audience response plays an essential role in the judges’ scoring - so get along and cheer on this poetic fiesta.
Sunday, March 19 - 4 pm, Kunming Garden
The WOMAD Slam Champ will perform their winning piece, followed by a slam session from our world-renowned judges and seasoned slammers.
Prepare to be surprised, entertained and provoked by their lyrical genius moments, passionate prose and rhythmic rhymes.
The 2023 Poetry Slam Champ will take home a double VIP WOMAD 3-DAY PASS for 2024!
