Slam Poetry Performance
Perform original poetry competitively with dramatic delivery and rhythm
Slam poetry is performance poetry delivered with theatrical intensity and competitive scoring. Poets perform original work (usually 3-5 minutes) and are scored by judges on content, delivery, and presence. Slam combines the craft of writing with the skills of performance and presence. Competing in slams pushes you to polish your work and develop confidence as a performer. It's an energetic, community-driven practice that transforms solitary writing into shared experience.
