REALITY: Rhymes Equal Actual Life in the Youth

A Week of Spoken Word Workshop and Performances for Young People from Keighley Central and Keighley West

6th / 7th / 8th July

A collaboration between Spoken Worth, Keighley Creative and the Youth Service, this project provides a platform for the youth of Keighley to have their say about the town and culture.

With workshops run by some of Yorkshire’s most exciting spoken word poets, and opportunities to join in with regular spoken word events afterwards, this is the ideal way to experiment with your writing and performance skills.
