WORD UP
(Spoken Word Poetry and Soul Music
Event).
The idea behind the event is to use Poetry as
an Art for entertainment, tool to increase literacy level, and as a means
of communication, education and information.
Our goal is to create a Performance Poetry
and Spoken Word industry where people can earn a decent living as Performance
Poets. A Spoken Word Poetry industry will help reduce unemployment in the
Country as awareness and sponsorship of the Art form increases.
This Art form would also improve the literacy
level in Universities and Secondary Schools, and among the populace, as a good
Poet needs to be able to read and write, and must also be intellectually sound
to be able to pass the message inherent his/her poetry performances to the
audience.
The
maiden edition of WORD UP (Spoken Word Poetry and Soul Music Event) was held on
August 18, 2012. It took place at the UNILAG Guest House Lecture Theatre,
Akoka, Lagos, and it was a delightful success.
The next edition of our event, Word Up (a Spoken Word Poetry and
Soul Music Event) is scheduled to take place on November 17, 2012 at
the UNILAG Guest House Lecture Theatre, Akoka, Lagos.
If you wish to partner with us through

the next tidal wave that will sweep through our country, especially among the
