UK Poetry Slam Champion Tyrone Lewis teams up with Writer and Director Kayla Martell Feldman to bring you PROCESS, a monthly Spoken Word night featuring some of the most exciting acts across the scene.
This month is another absolute banger with our regular open mic (sign-up on the night), sacrifices from our fantabulous hosts, and a headline poet from the one and only Anna Jordan!
Anna Jordan is a writer and director from London. As a playwright she has had plays performed at Shakespeare’s Globe, the Royal Court and the Lyric Theatre, Hammersmith and as a screenwriter she has worked on many shows including HBO’s Succession and Netflix’s One Day. She runs the Support Playwrights Substack and is passionate about creating community in her industry. She’s been writing poetry for a while, but this is her first collection. She is enjoying being a rookie poet instead of a jaded playwright.
Doors: 7:00pm
Start: 7:30pm
End: 10:30 pm (please respect our neighbours and leave quietly!)
Code of Conduct
We do not tolerate any abuse. By attending a Process event, you agree to the following code of conduct:

- Open mic slots are five minutes long! At 4 minutes and 45 seconds, we'll ring a bell to signal that you have 15 seconds to wrap it up. 15 seconds is shorter than you think!
- If your set includes potentially upsetting/triggering material, please give a content warning or trigger warning at the start - we won't include that as part of your five minutes. Nudity is not allowed at Process - if we see your genitals or butthole, you will be banned for life (nipples are allowed but please give us a heads-up first).
Please note that we film and photograph every event - if you don't want any video or images of you to go online, please let Kayla or Tyrone know. You can do so either on the night or afterwards.
