SPEAKEASY 

For Black & Global Majority Creatives

‘BLN-WRITE SpeakEasy’ is such a great programme and ultimately helped me find the courage to share my voice through poetry. From the accountability, to the feedback to the community, to the fun, I loved everything about SpeakEasy.’ Arela SpeakEasy 2024

‘SpeakEasy is an amazing intensive writing course exploring important social themes. I transformed as a writer over the course of 12 weeks. Eljai is such an inspiring teacher, and offers a safe place for you to explore your creativity. I am grateful for the opportunity to grow as a performer.’ Christina SpeakEasy 2024

Black Lives Natter Black Joy Open Mic 2023 Theatre Deli

Black Lives Natter Is a Community Arts organisation and a platform for Black and Global Majority artists and individuals with a focus on survivors, neuro-diverse, queer, queenagers, those with disabilities, and individuals within those communities who have historically been denied access to the arts.

Black Lives Natter believes that in order for communities to thrive, that the Individuals within those communities have to be Seen and Heard. We Imagine the power of shared Stories, art and theatre to heal, document and celebrate. Our Soul endeavour is to create safe non-judgemental spaces to increase access, awareness and engagement both in the arts and in sharing and learning from the lived experience of those revealed ‘invisible’ stories.
