- JUNE 20 | A FUNDRAISER AND SHOWCASE OF YOUTH SPOKEN WORD
WHEW! What a show! The 2008 Austin Under 21 Poetry Slam Off was one of
the hottest, most exciting shows we’ve had! The competition was
the stiffest, the scores were the tightest, and the four youth poets
who emerged as winners are already hard at work preparing to compete
against approximately 45 other teams next month at the Brave New Voices
International Youth Poetry Slam Festival in Washington, DC.
If you missed the Slam Off – never fear! This showcase of youth
poetry will feature Team Austin 2008 as well as other Austin area youth
poets, in a fundraiser to help get the team to Washington, DC. There
will be solo pieces as well as some ‘fresh off the press’
group pieces! This is a great opportunity to get a sneak preview of
what the team will be performing at BNV.
With the rising costs of airfare (and now baggage!), we need all of you
to come out and support the team. We encourage you to get a group
together and come out for an exciting night of spoken word featuring
the top youth poets the City of Austin has to offer! CDs of the 2007
Austin Under 21 Poetry Slam Team will also be available so you can take
home the youth phenomenon to share with family and friends. Join
us - Friday, June 20th, 6pm at Ruta Maya World Headquarters, 3601 S.
Congress, D-200. $10 cover, $5 students.
