You may have seen earlier this month a post about the work being done by BU academics from the Media School and the School of Health and Social Care, working with performance poets to help disabled young people from the Victoria Education Centre have a voice through poetry. This Thursday marks the first showcase of the Paralympic inspired work these students have produced. 
Running from 7:30pm – 11:00pm at the ICCI 360 arena in Weymouth, this event includes spoken word, film and performance by young Dorset voices supported by poets John Hegley, Jonny Fluffypunk and Liv Torc in a 360 degree audio-visual spectacle that promises to take poetry to the next level! This is an excellent example of public engagement and looks to be an exciting event so if you’re free come along this Thursday (30th August), tickets are £5, available from the Weymouth Pavilion Box Office.
