WORD! meetings are every Thursday at 9pm at the basement of RITES and REASONS THEATRE, on Angell St - 155 Angell St. Come at 9:15, because people are usually late. The meetings have a range between 8 - 30 people. I invite you guys all to go! They are always keen on having more people from RISD.
It's a very wonderful community of writers, poets, and performers, and the meetings are kind of like a hang-out session and a workshop. They give opportunities to perform your poetry at events, participate in events, host workshops, be in workshops and every year there are 5 people chosen to represent Brown at the CUPSI tournaments - the College Union Poetry Slam Invitational. Also, every semester they have a performance. Anyone is welcome to be in their Spring Show which is April 22nd, Friday at 7pm at the same place.
If you are interested in being in the Spring Show, come to this Thursday's meeting. Being in the spring show also entails coming to a week of rehearsals that are one hour long a day at 9pm, so it's a really great chance to bond with people, and become really good at performance poetry really fast.
Or you can just attend for a workshop and listen to people's poetry and make some new friends!
I also encourage you to join their listserv / mailing list which can be joined here.
