Sorry about that man, totally ran out of space. It’s in the media release at least.

Yep. All that and more.

The show also features the musical stylings of this group of fellow renegade thespians.

From the TurboSlam web site:

“We are made up of representatives from several Canberra-based creative groups (ANU Writers, UC writers, the ACT Writers’ Centre and multiple renegade theatre groups)”

Huh? Just what do renegade theatre groups do? Random street performances? Extort funding grants? Kidnap audience members from other groups? Do they have initiation ceremonies for new members? And if there are multiple groups, do they have turf (stage?) wars?

Slam poetry is poetry reading on steroids. Poets perform original material under 3 minutes for glory and cash prizes. It’s competitive, dirty, loud and high octane.
