Estuary Dreams Festival Presents…
Spoken
Scratch Performance and Spoken Word
Join us for an evening of live storytelling, spoken word and scratch performances that place voice, imagination and creative expression centre stage. Featuring writers, poets and performance-makers sharing original work and developing ideas, Spoken offers a rare opportunity to encounter creativity in its most immediate and exciting form.
Curated by Basildon filmmaker Aaron Shrimpton, the evening brings together artists whose work explores identity, place, memory and the worlds we create through language. From intimate personal reflections to experimental performance pieces, audiences can expect a rich and varied programme that celebrates the power of words to connect, provoke and inspire.
Whether you’re a regular spoken word enthusiast or discovering it for the first time, Spoken offers an engaging and welcoming space for shared stories and new perspectives.
