What's On

We put on dynamic, entertaining and immediate performance poetry events in venues throughout the UK and internationally, from bars and pubs to major theatres.

We were set up to enable more performance poets to develop full-time careers. We are dedicated to helping artists and the art form progress. Check out our list of associated poets, and how we discover and develop artists.

Collaborating with schools, local communities, hospitals, prisons and many other groups, we develop fun, creative workshops and long-term projects that engage, develop literacy, confidence and employability.

ARCHITECTS OF OUR REPUBLIC NATIONAL TOUR

POETRY. MUSIC. FILM.  
Marking the 50th Anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr's 'I Have a Dream' speech.

This is a rare opportunity to see the music and poetry commissions inspired by Martin Luther King Jr’s March on Washington during 2013's 50th anniversary of the occasion. Architects of Our Republic will be showcasing their work across the country. Each event will include two commissioned headline acts and one or two local acts or emerging artists.

Last year, Apples and Snakes teamed up with Southbank to create a truly memorable celebration of Martin Luther King's most prolific speech. See some fantastic images from this event here. Read more here
