With their new work, the alumni of the youth poetry slam collective Rising Voices, are aiming to challenge the perception of street poetry.
The organisation nurtures young writers through a series of eight workshops in preparation to present their work before a live audience and develop their skills.
Drawing from their diverse backgrounds, the performers will fuse their words with dance, theatre, music, movement, props and video over three nights, with no judges or rules. In addition to performing as part of the Auckland Fringe, the crew will present a special line-up for Pride Festival on February 13.
