Oh boy, we're on Cloud 9 right now! It felt so great to be back at Mixed Creative in Port Adelaide for another edition of 'The Good Word' last Friday night. A massive thank you to everyone who joined us. The performers/readers were excellent, the crowd was ever so receptive and the new improvised segment even went down a treat!

An event for December will be up soon but until then you enjoy yourselves ok?

*you wake up from your Covid enforced slumber to realise Adelaide's performing arts scene is alive and well*

Oh hey everyone, we just wanted to announce that 'The Good Word' will be back on Friday, November 6th! It will be held outdoors due to capacities and naturally will be covid-safe.

Stay tuned for the event and details on how to get on the mic :D

Can't wait to see you all!

30/06/2020

Due to life and personal challenges we have decided to forgo July's gathering and instead put all of our energies into the inevitable and impending return to our spiritual home of Mixed Creative.

See you soon!

22/06/2020

Have you claimed your spot for our next creative gathering July 8th? Last month we had a waiting list for performers which is no surprise as Spoken Word Roulette continues to get more popular as each month passes.

We have 4 and 10 minute spots available for a total of 12 spots. Our paid feature spots are drawn randomly from this group of 12. Send us a message asap if you are keen to get involved. Regardless of your spoken word inspired sharing, we want you!

Quote by Tilda Swinton :D

The restrictions that we currently face will ease, this virus WILL peak and before we know it we will be back out needing to re-populate the world with kick ass awesome events.

What's an event, based in local arts, that you would like to see happen? Let's get creative and make them happen when the time comes. Bonus points for events, nights and experiences that aren't already a thing. Or perhaps a popular event with a twist.

29/03/2020

Seek & Deliver will be working behind the scenes to get a online version of The Good Word up and running but in the mean time we will need our fix of local arts.

In the realms of local art, music, comedy, theatre etc what are you tuning in to? Please share links to pages, streams and live events in the comments below. Let's get behind local arts :D
