The Remove Poetry Slam

Smoke, lights, music and fancy dress: the Ellis Theatre had it all for this spectacular and most poetic of events. Individuals and groups from the Remove (Year 10) performed their own poems written specifically for the event and were judged by a panel of judges and their peers in the audience.

The poetry addressed topics as diverse as gravity and a tempting burger. George Stewart-Lockhart, dressed half as man and half as woman, provided a one-person variant on the tragic tale of Romeo and Juliet; and Josh Horwood took us on a journey through a night as a jazz performer in America, his saxophone serving as musical instrument and other timely props.
