Sage Dance Company

Flamingo Feather Poetry Competition

January 19th, 2013

A new poetry competition has been established to raise funds for flamingofeather, a London-based multimedia arts organisation specialising in Physical Theatre, Dance and Literature.

flamingofeather has strong connections with Brazil, and has created and performed works based on the short stories of Brazilian writer João Guimarães Rosa. The Competition aims to raise money to develop strands of its work: Abundance, a professional dance company and Sage Dance Company, a community ballet company for people aged 55 and over. Both are directed by Simon Rice, a former member and first soloist with the Royal Ballet.

The Judges of the Poetry Competition are Mimi Khalvati and Peter Daniels. Poems of any length up to 120 lines. First Prize £1,000. Closing date : 15 March 2013
