Shake the Dust is happening in every region of England, from North to South and East to West, from London to Yorkshire via the Midlands, there is performance poetry somewhere near you. Click on your region’s page to find out more about your area.
We’ve teamed up with prominent arts venues across the UK. These venue partners will form the regional homes for Shake the Dust, hosting the Regional Slam Finals, plus lots of other activities ahead of The National Shake the Dust Weekend. Have a look at the regional pages to find your venue partner.
You can also find out about the Consulting Slam Producers in your region (slam experts!) and soon we will be listing the professional spoken word artists that will be working in each region. Once the young people are on board at the beginning of next year, this website will be an interactive social hub of activity, with all the latest information about slam poetry and much more. And you can follow the progress of your regional team and artists as they make their way through to the finals!
