I’m looking for 7 emerging poets and spoken word artists to take part in the project.
You will be paired up with one of London’s black cab drivers and collaborate on a poem together. This could be about London, working as a cabbie / poet, the Knowledge, your lives, interesting stories from work… wherever the direction takes you. Everyone will then come together to read the co-created poems in a final celebratory event. You’ll also be offered professional development and one-to-one-mentoring to further your creativity, craft, and career.
The project is for emerging artists based in or around London. You will have some professional or paid experience such as publications or feature performances. Collaborations and mentoring will begin in April, with the final event in June. You will be paid a fee of £600.
