Now those young poets are ready to Shake the Dust. Join the 5 London teams as they showcase their work and compete for a place at the National Shake The Dust Final, held in London 5 - 8 July. Hosted by G.R.E.Ed.S, with guest performances from Deanna Roger (Chill Pill) and Toby de Angeli (Roundhouse Collective). Judged by Peter Kahn (poet, author and teacher, founding member of Malika's Kitchen, Chicago), Sifundo Msebele (poet and member of London Teenage Poetry SLAM) and Khadijah Ibrahiim (poet, founder and Artistic Director of Leeds Young Authors: Voices of a New Generation.)
