Allographic has three forms of live event - our open mic with featured guests every last Sunday of the month; “Allographic presents...”, a loose series of events with bigger names from the spoken word scene, and a burgeoning set of workshops for aspirant poets, storytellers, and other writers and performers.
Attendees of the workshop should consider putting their new-found skills into practice at our free evening event.
Entry is free but you will have an opportunity to pay what you think the workshop was worth afterwards. All the money (whether collected here or in person) goes to the workshop leader.

“Painting With Words” – an ekphrasic poetry workshop (writing inspired by visual art) led by Fay Roberts (free entry, donations taken)
They say a picture paints a thousand words, so let's put that to the test! This is a workshop designed to inspire you with visual art and give you a new creative writing toolkit. Want to start the New Year with a way (back) into writing? Suitable for novice and experienced writers alike, this workshop will give you ways to get around writers' block, or just a new way of looking at the world.
This workshop is also intended as a first step in a longer project around pairing local visual artists with local poets. More details available at the workshop.
Number of Spaces: 14
Suitable for: age 10-15, age 15-18, adults, wheelchair users, people with hearing difficulties
Probably unsuitable for: visually impaired people
Materials: pen, paper/ notebook

Fay Roberts is a peripatetic, percussive performance poet by night, and a professional projector by day. She is an experienced trainer, coach, and workshop leader, with many years of writing to commission (and to some quite peculiar prompts) under her belt. She runs the Cambridge branch of the Hammer & Tongue slam series, and her own poetry label: Allographic (which functions as a small press and a platform for performers), along with directing the Spoken Word section of The Free Fringe in Edinburgh from 2013 to present. She is a classically-trained singer, a self-taught drummer, a bit of a mumbler sometimes, and speaks with her hands. In 2014, she “won” The Anti-Slam at the Edinburgh Fringe (where the worst poem and performance with the lowest points wins a terrible prize). In 2017, her first solo show, “The Selkie”, was shortlisted as best spoken word show of 2016-17.
“We need more poetry like this... funny, confident, modest and a really bloody good poet to listen to” (Hollie McNish).
“Her poetry combines lyrical flair with a solid emotional core… there is no one quite like her”(Tim Clare).
“Gorgeously sensuous” (SabotageReviews.com).
