Mouthpieces is a celebration of the spoken word in its many forms inviting feature artists from across the UK to flex their wordsmith muscles to the North Birmingham community. We’re thrilled to be bringing Dreadlock Alien, Jemima Hughes, Priyanka Joshi and Emma Purshouse to perform specially commissioned Shakespeare-inspired spoken word pieces at this event. Open mic slots will be available on the night - you’re welcome to get up on stage with your own piece or something written by Shakespeare! Please note: At Mouthpieces we don&#x27;t censor any of the performers so there may be some strong language and adult themes.Mouthpieces is a community live arts event produced by local artists Joe Cook, Vafa Motamedi and Claire Bennett.Find out more about our headliners:Jemima Hughes <a href="https://www.jemimahughespoet.co.uk/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.jemimahughespoet.co.uk/</a>Priyanka Joshi <a href="https://www.facebook.com/priyanka.rattan" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.facebook.com/priyanka.rattan</a>Dreadlock Alien <a href="https://twitter.com/dreadlockalien" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://twitter.com/dreadlockalien</a>Emma Purshouse <a href="https://emmapurshouse.co.uk/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://emmapurshouse.co.uk/</a>If you’ve not written or performed spoken word much (or at all) before, do check out the free workshops you can attend as part of Shakespeare in Sutton - FOLIO’s fun festival for all.
