Experience LONDON LIMING - spoken word mixed with carnival

Haviing curated a number of shows in 2009, at the V & A, Kings Place and Southbank Centre, we're organising more events for 2010 in the spring.

We also drop our ideas and energy into the Bluecoat arts centre as part of its Black Atlantic literature season with a special one-off LIVERPOOL LIMING in March! visit www.thebluecoat.org for more info.

We return in summer 2010 with some more dizzying and eclectic line-ups of poets, fiction writers, live artists and performers - watch this space! If you like what we do and are interested in collaborating, we've love to hear from you.

" The whole audience was in uproar. Who’d have thought that a woman blowing in to a balloon could cause such a visceral response."

"Based on a Trinidadian cultural institution, they mash up Caribbean carnival sensibilities with dance music and poetry readings. Between sets by famous names like John Agard and not so famous names like Aoife Mannix, the audience is invited to chat, meet the artists or dance over a beer supplied by sponsors Guinness. It creates a sense of involvement lacking at many literary events and explains why (Tilt) has been able to pack in up to 1,000 people at its gatherings."

"I walked into london liming thinking I would hear live poetry for the first time, but I never knew poetry could be so funny that I'd laugh uncontrollably, so beautiful that I'd be lost for words, and so powerful that I'd be inspired all over again as a writer. The experience was amazing and one of a kind."
