“Word N Sound Presents…” is a platform given to poets to showcase their full-length shows. Whether the show is a theatrical poetry piece, 1-man show or poetry & music performance, is left to the artist.
Our aim is to allow artists an avenue to present their offering to the audience, prior to (or after) the official launch of any such show/product; and for the audience to connect with performers whose work they enjoy, and meet artists whose work they may connect with in an intimate setting that allows for meaning interaction.
For the inaugural Word N Sound Presents…, the stage will be graced by none other than the versatile Modise Sekgothe.

Meeting Your First Poem
What was your first? We all have a poem that invited us into this world of poetry, threw us into the river, baptised us with its beauty. Come and share that first powerful poem that made you want to be a poet, that made you fall in love with the word … and tell us why.
