Assorted Sporks is a queer friendly regular poetry and performance night at Mamma Chen's on the last Thursday of the month.
November 28th Featuring the incredible Waffle Irongirl
Theme: Beautiful Papercuts and/or the Alien Within
Themes are not mandatory, they are just to encourage you to experiment with your writing and improvisation. Feel free to make it weird.
Es Foong / Waffle Irongirl is a poet and performer living on the lands of the Wurundjeri People of the Kulin Nation. They want you to know that you are a wild, precious and unique expression of possibility and you are cherished. Their debut poetry collection from Recent Work Press is called “Clot and Marrow”. They live online at waffleirongirl.com.
7:00 pm for a 7:30 pm start, sign up will be available on the night.
5 minute limit.
Perform your poetry, creative writing or performance art on the open mic to a friendly audience or come and be part of the crowd. There are going to be themes, writing prompts and improvised creativity (2 lines to a theme to music). Completely free. For more information check the Facebook events closer to the date. Hosted by Loran Steinberg (they/them) Music by George O'Hara (he/they).
To keep this event a safe space for everyone, there will be no hate speech or your mic will be turned off and you may be asked to leave the stage.
Mamma Chen's is a wheelchair accessible venue however, the stage is not; we are happy to pass you the mic if needed.
Mamma Chen’s acknowledges the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung and the Bunurong peoples of the Kulin Nation, the true owners of the land that we live and operate on. We would like to pay our respects to their Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
