Poetry Month Celebration in 4 Sessions

Township Productions launched the celebration of Poetry Month with the 1st Session on the 12th April 2012. Poets shared their poems and had the opportunism to answer questions with fellow poets and audience members. The session took place ate the Goethe Zentrum Windhoek, the collaborative partners and was funded by the National Arts Council of Namibia (NACN)

On the 19th April 2012, a group of female poets will grace the stage of the Goethe Zentrum Windhoek with poetry under the theme Fool's Whisper. The poetry session will feature a selected number of female poets reciting and dramatically presenting their work. Other female poets will also join the "Power of Five"

In the mean time, Township Productions is running a Secondary School Poetry Competition, with 11 schools from the Erongo Region participating. ON the evening of 28 April 2012, poets from the participating schools will walk away with cash prizes. This is a pilot project and upon the success of the 1st competition, a National Poetry Competition will be introduced to the Namibia poetry community. Township Productions is looking forward to realizing the National Poetry Competition.
