Come enter the Temple of Poetry. Just you, me and my typewriter for ten precious minutes.
Shhh…
Like nothing you’ve ever experienced before, type-a-poet is intimate, immersive and entirely dedicated to you, the audience of one. Sitting in silence with award-winning performer/writer Andi Snelling, you will be transported to another realm, where Andi will conjure an original poem for your soul on her typewriter – an inked gift for you to keep.
Part side show, part spiritual reading, type-a-poet is a magical, meditative experience that will heal the heart, bend the mind and explode time. Alongside the ongoing success of her five award-winning solo show, Happy-Go-Wrong, Andi is offering this raw, honed-in experience that is uniquely tailored to you. Set in a magical micro world hidden amongst the busy outside world, type-a-poet marries Andi’s love of word wizardry with her talent for improvisation, in her ever-continuing pursuit of shared humanity through art.
Quite possibly the most raw, authentic and vulnerable piece of performance art you could imagine. The session might have only lasted 10 minutes but the memories and the way it touched me. I am marvelled at Andi's ability to see us each as individuals and create something bespoke.
