Brave New Word Poetry Festival

Get ready for the BIGGEST Western Sydney Poetry Takeover by Australia's biggest poetry slam!

Across two epic weeks, Bankstown Poetry Slam is proud to present Brave New Word - a poetry festival which will culminate in Australia's First National Youth Poetry Slam (!!!).

Over 50 local and interstate artists are joined by international guests Rudy Francisco, Safia Elhillo and Nate Marshall. These amazing writers will traverse Western Sydney venues to inspire hearts and minds with poetic brilliance. 

There is something for everyone in this illuminating program - from novice writers to seasoned wordsmiths and from voracious performers to enthusiastic clickers. Bankstown to Blacktown, Casula to Campbelltown and everywhere in between... we've got Western Sydney poetry lovers covered! The festival will wrap up in Parramatta where Australia's FIRST National Youth Poetry Slam finalists will go head to head on 13 December at Riverside Theatres.

Flip The Script - new date and time!

FLIP THE SCRIPT is back but on a new day and with a new time! 

A safe space for under 26 year olds to showcase whatever they want :) 

We want our youth to "flip the script" and share their many talents, challenge stereotypes, address issues and action change. 

There is no limit to what you can perform: Poetry, music, stories, magic. We'll give you a stage and a mic and you can choose how to use it. 

How is an open mic different to a poetry slam?
With open mic's, there are no strict time limits (but don't take 5eva on stage) and no judging involved. Flip The Script is a space for you to perform whatever you want to, without any rules. 

What is the age limit? 
Performers must be under the age of 26 to sign up, but we welcome everyone of all ages to watch and support our performers.

If you have any questions, please email info@bankstownpoetryslam.com

Bankstown Poetry Slam is supported by Bankstown Youth Development Service (BYDS).
