This September Yarra Valley Spoken Word is proud to be collaborating with Valley Youth Fest!
Valley Youth Fest is a Music Festival with an Empowerment, Mind & Body Seminar celebrating Body Image & Eating Disorders Awareness week.
YVSW is proud to present our Feature Youth Poet Neesha Shimmen and invites all Youth Poets to speak and share their Spoken Words in The Dome.
Neesha grew up in the Yarra valley and has a deep connection to the land and community of this area. Neesha enjoys the art of poetry and is fascinated by the way words can be used to communicate messages. Writing poetry since childhood – as a medium to channel creativity, Neesha is an artist, yoga instructor and physiotherapist. She loves connecting with other people and feels that we are all part of nature, so naturally feels most alive when immersed in the natural landscape. Neesha loves the way words can be woven together to paint a feeling of flow; where intelligence and playfulness dance together. Neesha enjoys sharing poetry in a way that invites people into the experience and hopes to share poetry that inspires excitement and inspiration.
Special Admission Price of $5 for all under 25s!
Friday 13th September, 6-9pm.
The original custodians of the Yarra Valley, the Wurundjeri people, didn’t write. Their wisdom travelled through time in songs, stories and dance. We acknowledge this land’s indigenous ancestors and elders, oral historians of the dream-time. This poetry gathering sits on the shoulders of countless generations of wisdom keepers and spoken-word story tellers.
Welcome to our Yarra Valley Spoken Word Community.
We meet at The Dreaming Space Academy at Yarra Valley ECOSS, Wesburn on the second Friday of the month and welcome you to join us and share your musings.
Ours is a space to share the power of the spoken word, be inspired by our community of artists and learn to write and share life’s depths through this life changing art form.
Families are welcome until after supper, we have a feature artist each month and then Open Mic.
