Words Having a Ball presents poetry in a completely revolutionary way , allowing you , the audience , to dance though out the show whilst actively engaging and interacting with performances/performers .
Slow waltz to words and be amazed as poets show you how their tongues do the twist . Dress up in your own creations of word decorated corsages and bow ties , eat edible poetry on fairy cakes (which contain hidden surprises). Let poets whisper words in your ear as you dance, or let the artist on the dance floor capture your poetry in motion as an art work.
Indulge in a little poetry poker, poetraoke or speed disco dancing!
Put on your dancing shoes ! (People with 2 left feet welcome !) Shy booth for those too shy to dance in public. Dancing heartily encouraged but not obligatory.
Did you know that Socrates took up dancing at the age of 70 because he felt that an important part of his soul had been neglected ?
“ Dance is the poetry of the foot “ said Dryden ( who also said that “ the chief aim of poetry is to delight “ – hear hear. )
