Riah Knight ist eine echte "Renaissance-Frau": Sie spielt Theater, veröffentlicht Gedichte, moderiert Radiosendungen – und macht Musik. In letzterer Angelegenheit ist die Romani-Britin heute Abend zu Gast im studioeins, denn sie hat vor Kurzem eine neue EP herausgebracht. "Wicked Laughter" heißt diese, und wartet mit fünf spannenden Songs zwischen Trip-Hop, R'n'B und Performance-Poetry auf. Produktionstechnisch unterstützt von Shaban (Käptn Peng & Die Tentakel von Delphi) wirft die 28-Jährige mit ihrem neuen musikalischen Werk "ein spekulatives Licht auf die dunkleren Seiten der Weiblichkeit, indem es das Zusammenspiel von Liebe und Lust, Wut und Verletzlichkeit beleuchtet und sich vom Leben berüchtigter ungehorsamer und 'böser' Frauen* inspirieren lässt." Dabei ist es fast ein bisschen überraschend, dass die in Berlin lebende Knight überhaupt die Zeit dafür gefunden hat – schließlich steckt sie gerade mitten in den Proben für eine kritische "Carmen"-Adaption, die Ende Januar im Maxim Gorki Theater Premiere feiern soll, und war früher im Jahr als Teil des feministischen Kollektivs Glossy Pain mit der Produktion "Lie With Me" beim Einburgh Fringe Festival zu Gast. Vermuten wir also mal, dass die Musik für sie einfach auch eine (weitere) unverzichtbare Herzensangelegenheit ist, die ihren Platz im Leben fordert … und freuen uns, dass Riah Knight heute Abend für ein Interview zu uns kommt, und natürlich anschließend ein paar Songs live performt.

When it comes to an engaging poetry unit, I believe the #1 building block is performance. There's something about watching contemporary poets stand up and deliver their work that is undeniably engaging. Kids might hate the piece they see performed. They might love it. They might feel their skin crawl watching it because they think the poet is so awkward... or get goosebumps because it so exactly describes their own experience. But whether they love it or they hate it, in my experience, they're INTO it. They're THERE for it. And they love debating about it. So today on the podcast, I want to talk about performance poetry, and how to use it in your classroom. By the end of this episode, you'll walk away with my favorite clips, lesson ideas, and classroom event possibilities.

Abdulrahman Hammoud went to an Islamic school where he found solidarity to fast during Ramadan, celebrate Eid, and saw his friends’ mothers wearing hijabs. He did not feel different and never questioned himself for holding the Arab Muslim identity. But this world, which is ideal for some migrants, disappeared when he first set foot in university, a world where he found himself a stranger and a target for people who didn't welcome diversity. - عبدالرحمن حمود عاش معظم سنوات عمره في عالم لا تختلف ثقافته عن تلك التي يتبعها والداه في المنزل. كانت مدرسته اسلاميه واصدقائه يصومون رمضان ويحتفلون بالعيد وترتدي أمهاتهم الحجاب. لكن، تلاشى عالمه الذي قد يكون مثالي لبعض المهاجرين، عندما غادر المدرسة الاسلامية ووطأت قدماه أبواب الجامعة، ليجد نفسه متخبطا في عوالم جديدة اضطر فيها للتعايش مع عادات وتقاليد كان بعيدا عنها أشد البعد.

She is a founder of Wellington's Poetry in Motion community, winner of the 2012 New Zealand National Poetry Slam, and in 2013 she competed in the Women of the World Poetry Slam in Minneapolis.

In this episode, Al interviews writer, poet, and mental health advocate Rene Mullen (recorded 2-7-18). Rene describes a childhood of being bullied that eventually drove him to self-harm (cutting) while just a sixth grader. Rene also describes a messy breakup that his parents went through and his father's attempted suicide. After years of cutting and using alcohol to self-medicate, Rene finally found support while attending college. He eventually found poetry to be a venue that allowed him to unpack the issues of his past and to face reality. Rene now writes, participates in Performance Poetry, and hosts his own podcast, Pen & Poet. You can find out much more about Rene, listen to the podcast, and check out his blog by going to renemullen.com. In addition, you'll find Rene on Twitter @RMullenWriter and Facebook.

Spoken word is a form of poetry usually written to be performed in front of an audience, and often associated with hip hop culture. In recent years its popularity has soared in the UK – and now, as part of the London Literature Festival, the Southbank Centre is hosting the final of “Shake the Dust”, a national poetry slam for teenagers. So, what’s the difference between “page” and “stage” poetry? Does spoken word have a political bent? And can poets hope to change anything? Jan Dalley puts these questions to the poet, rapper and playwright Kate Tempest; poet and artistic director of the “Shake The Dust” Jacob Sam-La Rose; and critic Suzi Feay. Produced by Griselda Murray Brown See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This week Sam is joined by Ben and Katie, two very different but equally amazing poets. They have kindly gifted us a slice of evening time to share some of their work, as well as thoughts about slams, theft and bad things that you may have said to girls and bad things that may have happened in restaurants. Details of all manner of jazzy poetry and lit events are posted on our lovely facebook page. Come see Katie and Ben perform over the summer - more fun than rollerblades, we promise. spiltmilkmag.co.uk
