Perc.U.lations - 18th April 2026 - featuring Katie Lohner

Our Poetry and Spoken Word events  usually held on the second Saturday of the month at 2:30 pm to 4:30 pm, with a Poetry Writing Workshop running from 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. 

This week is on the 18th of April, however!

Let's make April Amazing!

Our feature this April is Katie Lohner!

Katie Lohner is a spoken word and performance artist from Naarm (Melbourne). Her quirky and vigorous performance style has touched audiences, including LaMama Cabaretica, 3CR Radio, Melbourne Fringe Festival, The Festival of Surrealisms, Mother Tongue Poetry and Melbourne Spoken Word Festival. Her poetry has been described as being unencumbered, with a sense of freedom and joy. Her practice also extends from poetry to a range of physical theatre and character comedy.
