Oaklandish Upcoming Events
I received this from a very interesting neighborhood organization. Take a look:
THIS TUESDAY EVENING: Uni-verse-all Turn presents MOVE-MEANT-FOR-WORDS 'a lyrical expedition to-word truth' An open cypher for all styles of poets, singers, and storytellers building community and strengthening roots through the growth of our poet-tree. Free for all ages!
1st & 3rd Tuesdays at Oaklandish
(Sign up @ 7pm, Living Word moves @ 7:30pm)
More info or to get involved: allworldsonelove@hotmail.com
Every once in a while the stars align and bless us with that especially intimate gathering where everyone feels right at home, and you may as well be hearing the poems and songs being performed in your very own living room. "Move-Meant-For-Words", our relaxed spoken-word evening, is just that. The first installment two-weeks ago laid the foundation for a creatively nurturing environment where amateur and veteran artists alike can share the mic and equal appreciation. It's a multi-generational affair (children running amuck - sometimes taking the stage!) with candles & incense burning, hot tea brewing, and warm summer air inspiring the narrative and offering every reason for you to come, listen, and share.
