About Me

Caravan Slam: Slam. It’s a fairly violent verb. But when teamed with the flowery noun poetry, it takes on a whole new meaning. The Caravan Poetry Slam brings together around 20 local poets, a panel of judges, and a room full of what they hope to be, “open hearts instead of roses, open minds instead of rotten tomatoes.” Anyone can sign up and sacrifice their three-minute slam to the open space. Each poem will be scored and then the top four poets compete in a finalist round to decide the winner. Interactivity is integral, with other elements of ‘Emergency Art’ integrated into the night in the form of written confessionals and ‘coughed up’ soapbox-style Emergency Slams. Angela Bennetts (Alternative Media Group) Cheap drinks, hot soup and live music are often thrown in to sweeten the deal. But the real drawcard is that the event is open to absolutely anyone. "Caravan Slam inspires us to start writing and performing without inhibition," says Oldfield. Whether you're keen to be a poet, a judge, or an audience member, it's definitely worth watching this space. - Time Out Sydney
