We closed off with Linda Kaoma - Coordinator of the DFL Lover + Another Poetry Challenge
Cape Town leg. The DFL Lover + Another Poetry Challenge is a national
performance poetry competition talking taboos, creating controversy, opening
dialogues about the issues that really matter: trust, sex, relationships,
HIV/AIDS, intimacy. A new generation of young poets is given the opportunity to
use their voice in the way that only poetry can, speaking to complex issues in
an accessible and powerful way. Entries close on the
17th of September 2013 . Cape Town auditions will be hosted
on Saturday September 21st from 10AM at Masambe Theatre, Baxter
Theatre Centre in Rondebosch. The regional
finals will happen on Saturday September 28th at 1PM. Cash prizes are awarded
to the top 3 finalists from each region, and the top 2 will travel to the
national finals, where the top 3 will again be awarded some amazing prizes and
opportunities for performance. Anyone aged 18 to 30 can enter the challenge,
including past entrants, youths not currently studying, and young people from
outside of South Africa currently living or
studying in the country. If you are interested to take part in this poetry
challenge please contact Linda Kaoma via email lindak@africacentre.net
for an extensive brief and entry forms.
