We are a Tyneside based company specialising in producing new work in spoken word, performance poetry and live literature.  We fuse the word with a range other art forms, including film, music, character comedy, theatre and even ventriloquism.  We work in partnership with poets, a range of artists, venues and other partners to make exciting things happen. So far, our work has mixed performance poetry with ill-fated punk heroines, a funeral, death himself, a saucy man-eating ventriloquist doll, a nasty wedding, radioactive skittles, beans on toast and a spoof South Bank Show.   We have had filmmakers, bands, DJs and burlesque dancers, amongst others, thrown to into our poetry mosh pit!

The Late Shows and Poetry Booth
“A highlight of The Late Shows 2009 programme” Journal Culture Magazine
A huge thank you if you were one of nearly 500 people who came along to our residency for The Late Shows at The Lit & Phil and Mining Institute on Friday 15 and Saturday 16 May.  Read a glowing review of our residency and Poetry Booth by Culture 24. And if you weren’t lucky enough to catch us, watch this space for more info about the Poetry Booth and our current projects.
