Join award-winning poet and playwright Inua Ellams as he brings his chaotic, audience-led poetry event Search Party to Newcastle's Northern Stage on Saturday 5th October.
Pick a word, any word. Prompted by audience suggestion and open conversation, Ellams searches through his archive, unearths refined or raw gold, and presents his treasure in a spontaneous performance.
Search Party is an act of call and response that hearkens back to the birth of storytelling. At this uniquely futuristic and puckishly chaotic interactive event, the artist couldn’t be more present. He’s inviting you to join the work. What do you say?
Born in Nigeria, Ellams is a poet, playwright & performer, graphic artist & designer. His playwriting credits include Barber Shop Chronicles and Three Sisters.
