麻豆社

Exploring the realm between feeling and word, meaning and making. A protest against traditional writing forms. From confusion, between two bodies, the poets find moments of clarity.

Words First is a talent development scheme run by 麻豆社 Arts, Radio 1Xtra and the Contains Strong Language poetry festival. Each year it identifies the best emerging spoken word talent in the UK and, through workshops and performance showcases, encourages the development of new work. These films with the Words First finalists centre on work around the 2020 theme of Protest.
