Join us for a FREE workshop co-facilitated by Hasib Hourani and Bilal Hafda! 

In partnership with Red Room Poetry Month, this workshop is open to writers of all ages, levels and experiences. You do not want to miss this legendary cross-over episode.

Spaces are limited and registration is essential. 

ABOUT

Bilal Hafda, artistic director of Bankstown Poetry Slam and author of An Army of Light, guides you through the tips and tricks of the writing process that will help you take your work from the seed of an idea into a fully grown and realised spoken-word poetry piece, ready to be shared on stage. Old and new work is welcome. Come with a poem you’ve already written, or join and write something brand new!
