A huge thank you to everyone who came along to Prismatic at
It was a joy to hear some great poets read their work in Keighley Creative's cosy cinema room!

We'll definitely be back in the near future, so keep your eyes peeled 👀

Thanks to everyone who braved the chill and ventured out to Prismatic!

We had a beautifully diverse range of performances, which is as Prismatic as we could have hoped for.

Big love to for providing the sonic ambience.

Thanks to me for two pieces of photographic evidence:

Exhibit A: Rude Noodle speaks words into a microphone.

Exhibit B: Scarf weather.

Prismatic is a kaleidoscopic spoken word event that features ambient soundscapes to augment performances throughout the evening.

Our simple twist on the spoken word format intends to create a unique atmosphere, and the perfect backdrop for beginners to cut their teeth, or for seasoned performers to try something different.

For first timers, the ambience fills those sometimes terrifying voids of silence that insist you skip immediately to the next line. Focusing for a moment on the background ambience allows you to breathe and to take your time.

For the old pros, the live selection or performance of ambient music allows you to bend and twist your words to the ebbs and flows provided by our DJs and live electronic acts.

If you've got something to say and want to share it in a warm, multicolour environment, come down to our next event, this Thursday at
