SPOKEN WORD ALL STARS is exactly what it says on the tin: a stellar cast of talent from the UK's live poetry scene, performing an original live show alongside one globally acclaimed musician - the sophisticated saxman, Jason Yarde.
Join the All Stars at Contact, as they interweave their words with live and improvised loops, beats and melodies, featuring:
El Crisis - his unique style combines a hypnotic mixture of rap, spoken word, song and chant. OneNess - spoken word soulsista from Grenada. Kat Francois - slamtastic, superphysical storyteller. Ventriloquist - wordsmith wizard from the west, Kate Tempest - hellfiery powerhouse of socio-poetry and of course Jason Yarde - the king of improv sax.
The Spoken Word All Stars National Original Tour - will be winding it's way across the country, September through to the end of the year, and there are more dates coming up in 2011. Plus, Sky Arts have been following the All Stars, making a TV documentary of the tour! Get a sample of this innovative project here and keep an eye out for further installments from the documentary on the Spoken Word All Stars Facebook page or have a look at their website.
