Speak Out Loud (SOL) is an inclusive community of artists dedicated to creating and promoting original spoken word poetry at Harvard. While our focus is spoken word, we also embrace and encourage collaboration with other student groups to foster new conversations. Take a look around!
Hi I’m a current sophomore at Harvard who would love to join the mailing list and the organization after recently discovering the beauty of Spoken Word through my passion for hip hop! I can’t make the activities fair, but I do plan on attending the meeting on Sunday. I was also present at Bryonn Bain’s open mic and thought SOL represented with sick style!
Hello. My name is Ashleigh and I am a co-manager for the student group FACES (freshmen arts collaborative experience showcase) alongside my fellow sophomores Aleja and Sam. To give you an idea of us and FACES, every spring we guide a group of selected freshmen with experience and/or interest in the arts to develop a final showcase for the week of ARTS FIRST. While we strive to aid the freshmen to improve their own talents, we also have a strong interest in exposing them to new art forms. And it is with this in mind that I am contacting your group now.
We hold multiple workshops throughout the spring, and we would be very excited and honored if Speak Out Loud could lead one of these workshops with a focus on spoken word and poetry. The workshop would be in February or early March (date TBD) for two hours, most likely in the afternoon. We really believe this experience would greatly benefit the FACES members with their work towards developing both individual and collaborative art projects with their fellow members. We would just need 1-3 individuals to guide us in the basics….very low pressure and time commitment. We would be very grateful.
Let me know if this opportunity interests you. Thank you for taking the time to hear my offer.
Hello,
I’m currently an 8th grader who has an interest in Spoken Word and I was wondering if I could do a small interview (over email) with one of your poets. Thank you so much for your time!
