Yarra Valley Spoken Word Friday 12th June 2026: Nico Flash Poetry
Please join us in welcoming a new Feature Poet to our monthly event.
Nico aka Flash Poetry is a local freestyle sensation, guitarist, TEDx performer and the author of the poetry collection ‘The Silent World That Won’t Stop Talking’. Harnessing the power of poetry, storytelling and freestyle rap, he takes audiences on spontaneous, immersive lyrical adventures informed by crowd suggestions and whatever is most alive in the moment.
Whether it’s engaging kids with playful freestyles about their favourite animals, sparking laughter with crowd suggestions, or offering thoughtful moments for adults, Flash Poetry brings something that both entertains, inspires and uplifts. Through a unique blend of rhythm, philosophy & wordplay, the full-time writer turned ‘Philosorapper’ brings the vibe with his guitar playing and showcases the mind-bending magic of live improvisation and the flow state.
Nico is exploring the theme ‘The Silent World That Won’t Stop Talking’. Feel free to feel into that theme with him, or explore your own…
Welcome to our Yarra Valley Spoken Word Community.
The original custodians of the Yarra Valley were the Wurundjeri people. Their wisdom travelled through time in songs, art, stories, mentorship 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.
We meet at The Dreaming Space Dome 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.
