We host spoken word events in the community and provide a safe and inclusive event for all folks to perform on the open mic and share their stories. Fancy sharing your poetry with us?

This event is for poets of all levels.

** The time has come sadly to increase ticket prices, we hate to do it but to ensure that DYS can continue to run and pay our artists, venues and all involved we have created a sliding scale ticketing option. This means that ticket prices will start at $15 and you are welcome to chuck a couple of extra bob in (if you can) to help the future of DYS. We also know that the shows we host are absolutely worth every cent. 
Without you our incredible shows and place for healing and vulnerability wouldn't be possible. 

$15 GA entry, free for First Nations Folks. There is also the option to purchase a pay it forward ticket, to shout someone a spot as we know times are tough and we would never turn anyone away.

We cant wait to feel inspired by your new pieces.
Looking forward to seeing you there friends!

DYS would like to acknowledge that our events take place on the stolen Kaurna Yarta. We acknowledge the Kaurna People and pay our respects to Elders past, and present and acknowledge sovereignty was never ceded.
Entry fees go towards our feature artists fairly and paying the rent each month.
