Prickly Pear feat. FAY ROBERTS

Ashley Edge

An online open mic for disabled folk, run by disabled folk!

Come and enjoy an event that shines a light on all disabilities, whether physical or mental, hidden or unhidden. Please note that self-diagnosis is Valid. Open to all, but priority will be given to those with a disability and/or those who wish to share words about disability. So please join us to celebrate and lift the performers among us that are often left uncatered for. This month we are delighted to announce we have the talented FAY ROBERTS as our feature! Bio:Fay Roberts is a performance poet, a musician, a storyteller, an events host, an award-winning voice actor, former Artistic Director for Spoken Word at PBH’s Free Fringe, and an enormous geek. During weekdays, ze persuades people to make lists and say no to shiny things. For every role, there is a different hat, and a spreadsheet to match. Zir first full collection, Spectral, came out with Burning Eye in March 2022, and ze describes it as “a kind of poetry concept album, with illustrations”. Run by neurodivergent poets we understand how difficult it can be to perform when the world is set up for the abled. This is one of the reasons we are an ONLINE event. Being online means no distance is a barrier, we want to hear voices from around the world, but please be aware that the hosts' language will be in English. This is a pay-what-you-feel/can event, instructions on how to donate will be given during the event. Please email ashleyedge.poet@gmail.com to request an open mic slot. A ticket does not guarantee this. If you have any special requirements, please let us know, as we will be more than happy to accommodate your needs. A reading order will be given at the start of the event, to ensure folk are not left in the 'unknown'. The event will run from 7pm until 9pm bst/utc+1 every 2nd Sunday. Everyone will have 3 mins to perform. To donate to Prickly Pear directly, PayPal URL:https://paypal.me/edgepp?country.x=GB&amp;locale.x=en_GB No hate will be tolerated.
