Spoke-Lab has been developing for over a year and involves Spoken Word artists exploring how their chosen art-form might fuse with Theatre to create a new wave of expression. Now, three of the artists involved will share the results of their work so far. Performed over three consecutive nights (one on each night) World Poetry Slam Champion Kat Francois, emerging artist Nick Makoha and poetry veteran Roger Robinson each bring us new work in development, all of a thought provoking and sometimes deeply personal nature.Over the Dune - T0661338924Roger Robinson's poignant tale of a soldier returning from Iraq, who in trying to dissuade a young misfit from joining the army, reveals his own guilty contribution to the conflict.
