URBAN WORD
11th Annual Teen Poetry Slam Semi-Final
Mar 23 at 6pm
Urban Word NYC's 11th Annual Teen Poetry Slam brings out the top teen poets from across the city. Poets will
compete for a chance to perform at the Grand Slam Finals at the Apollo Theater on April 4th, and represent NYC at the
National Teen Poetry Slam in Chicago. This semi-final slam also features special guest poets and DJs.
Since 2004, Dance Theater Workshop and Urban Word NYC have been collaborating to support urban youth in their
development of hybrid performance work for the stage. This year, the partnership has expanded to include the participation
of a spoken word artist, selected by Urban Word, in Dance Theater Workshop’s Studio Series.
