‘More Scarecrow Than Pirate’ and Open-Mic
Aberaeron writer and performer Karen Gemma Brewer brings her new one woman show to Cwrw for a night of rhyme, rhythm and laughter with the odd song thrown in too. A veteran of both the Edinburgh and Swansea Fringe and two-time winner of the ‘Tim Williams Performance Poetry Award,’ Karen will be accompanied by Poz-Nan, her Polish-made guitar, and launching her third poetry collection ‘More Scarecrow Than Pirate’ published by Mosaïque Press.
The event will be followed by a shortened version of our usual open-mic, restricted to 10 slots shared between those online and those in the room.
All and any form of spoken-word is encouraged, poetry, flash fiction, novel extracts, stand-up, monologue, dialogue, but this friendly and supportive community does ask that you keep within a three minute limit.
The event tends to be primarily English language but we often have Swedish, Spanish, Hindi and Irish contributions. Being based in Carmarthen we are particularly happy on the nights we have strong Welsh language elements.
All cultures are welcome to this inclusive and safe space.
Dom will be in Iraq performing at the 12th Babylon Festival for International Cultures and Arts, so to sign up up to perform either in person or online by email in advance
