I am a Manchester based, gay, vegan, performance poet (possibly Manchester's BEST gay, vegan, performance poet..... possibly Manchester's ONLY gay, vegan, performance poet) - and I am filming a showreel!
This is a FREE event where I will be recording my best received poetry in front of a live audience- YOU!
But who is this gay, vegan, performance poet chap, I telepathically hear you ask.....
Last year I performed my poetry on Channel 4 news, Channel 4's 'My Daughter The Teenage Nudist' and CBeebies 'Rhyme Rocket'. I have won New York's infamous Nuyorican Poetry Cafe slam and UK's Superheroes of Slam. I have three poetry books published by Flapjack Press. I toured my full length poetry play, 'Wizard', across England last year with Grants for the Arts and Arts on Prescription awards and have just secured Arts Council funding for my first children's show, 'The Dragon Who Hates Poetry', which I'll be touring later this year.
DOMINIC FILMS A SHOWREEL will be an evening of highlights from all of the above!
I will be having two special guest poets perform sets before mine.
