On the first night of Kings Place Festival we offer an infectious evening of entertainment, stimulation and wordplay, the events show how spoken word can complement, rub against and enhance other artforms – on this occasion live art, comedy and carnival.
Featuring brand new commissions of writing and performance by live artist, writer and film-maker Robin Deacon, stand-up and satire by Francesca Martinez and Tim Clare and for the finale, a return of last year’s popular ‘London Liming’ which brings carnival and audience participation to London through perfectly-formed short bites of poetry, commentary and song by wordsmiths Mellow Baku, Luke Wright,Charlie Dark, Laura Dockrill and Zena Edwards. The Tilt @ Kings Place series is curated by arts entrepreneur and producer Melanie Abrahams.
