Radio Laria Poetry with Ela Fornalska and Simone Spittle

This April Radio Laria is featuring the technicoloured force of positivity Ela Fornalska and the stunning, queer queen of spoken word Simone Spittle.  Ela is a much-loved Melbourne poet who has performed in many spaces, with poetry revealing her wide-reaching love and reverence of life.  Simone is a fantastic unforgettable performer of poetry and music, who will have you laughing and crying within moments.  This is a gig not to be missed and you can be part of it by joining the open mic (10 spots available, sign up on the night).

Doors open 7pm and the live poetry kicks off at 7:30.
   Our venue Open Studio (204 High St, 3070) is a Northcote institution for culturally amazing gigs.
   For the open mic it’s sign up on the night, and a 5-minute limit. The audience is very supportive and we welcome new readers.  Men are welcome to share on the open mic, but please be mindful that this is a night to promote women’s poetry and we ask that you behave respectfully.  Come along and join this warm, vibrant poetry community and don’t forget about Open Studio’s yummy crepes!
