Snack - slam poetry workshop Snack is a proposed slam poetry workshop to be run by the Tuggeranong Arts Centre, encouraging young people to explore the power of rhythm, rhyme and the human voice. The project, run across multiple days, would give participants the opportunity to use poetry as a medium for voicing both individual and societal issues. It would educate participants on the conception and spread of hip-hop and slam culture, with a focus on how these art forms have empowered individuals to affect positive change. There would also be a large practical component, with each participant invited to discuss how rap verses are structured and written before creating their own spoken work or rap piece. Snack is a project run as part of the Tuggeranong Art Centre’s Community Cultural Inclusion Program (CCIP), an ACT Government initiative that hopes to give every ACT resident a unique opportunity to contribute to the community’s artistic and cultural landscape.
