Konepaja Spoken Word is Helsinki\u2019s English-language open stage for spoken word, poetry, and performance. It is organized by Helsinki Poetry Connection in collaboration with\u00a0Kino Konepaja\u00a0and\u00a0Catalysti Association of Transcultural Artists, and produced by Vinski Valos.<\/p>\n
The evenings are open to both first-time performers and experienced artists. Come perform or just listen, and be part of the community. The focus is on sharing, experimentation, risk-taking, and live encounters. We would love to hear your words, whether carefully crafted or spontaneous. To reserve a performance slot, please sign up through this link: forms.gle\/7rvnmVL8d9GzVB4U8<\/p>\n
This open stage welcomes poets, performers, storytellers, and experimental voices working with text, voice, movement, sound, and presence. Whether your work leans toward poetry, performance art, short fiction, monologue, or something in between and beyond, this is a space to try out material, share ongoing processes, and meet others working with language and performance in Helsinki.<\/p>\n
