rainedancing indeed telofy!
which leads us to the obvious question... what IS a poetry slam?
A poetry slam is no mere open mic. It is a competitive wordsmith sport where all are welcome and embraced by the slamily, but only the strong of heart and voice thrive. Not just poets, but Spoken Word Artists, give less than 3 mins (and 10 seconds) of their best effort (aka as Spit) to a crowd of other poets, fans, groupies, fans and strangers.
rarely, that of others). These performances - no costumes, no props, no music - are then judged on a numeric scale of 0.1 (being the worst poem you've ever heard, take the poets out back and put them out of our misery) or 10.0 (best poem you've ever heard, hands down, have their larynx bronzed immediately!) by five judges: previously selected members of the audience (preferably slam virgins and strangers who are new to slam and not sleeping with, doing the laundry, or otherwise stalking any of the poets). Slam poets with the best cumulative scores advance to the final round of the night, accumulating annual scores that ultimately give them rise merit to compete on a National Level. The audience chooses from whom they will hear more poetry, as well as be quickly engaged between the barrierless forum of audience and stage. It is s rowdy, involved, supportive, sustaining grassroots movement of performance and poetry and distance erasing friendships. Sep 1, 2009
