What happens at a Transcendence Poetry Night?
headliner
At every Transcendence event we have a main act, the headliner of the whole event, the principal performer of the night. This poet will be critically acclaimed, very experienced, successful and renown for their poetry and related work. The Spoken Word Artists who will headline will have other titles they are known for, such as recording artist, writer, director, teacher, activist, playwright, actor, published author, rap artist, etc and will therefore be bringing something very unique and special to the night!
Featured artist
At every Transcendence event we also have performances by featured artists, established and up-and-coming spoken word poets, handpicked by FCP, who are skilled, experienced poets, who have been on the poetry scene for a while and who are building up a name for themselves and working hard for recognition in their chosen field.
Performances will also include special appearances by well-known rappers, actors, song-writers, vocalists and musicians who will try their hand at performing some Spoken Word..maybe even for the first time!
open mic
At every Transcendence event we will also give new or inexperienced poets a chance to perform on stage to an audience, this allows poets to practice their craft, get feedback and boosts confidence as they get used to performing their work live!
We will have 7 slots available for Open Mic’ers so if you’d like to perform then sign up asap! If you have another talent that you’d like to incorporate into your spoken word piece (i.e. An instrument, movement, drama) please mention this in your email, feel free to be creative!
Aims of Transcendence
Our aim is to have an experience of a poetry night that Transcends above the norm.
To allow expression, for poets and performers to;
Share life
Express self
Teach and inform
To demonstrate through personal experience or insight the power of God in their lives.
We ask all poets to bring their words to inspire, to uplift and to motivate the audience, we want to grow a community that exudes positive vibes and love and that all who attend Transcendence, leave feeling encouraged and blessed having experienced a truly entertaining night.

“Had a really good night at Transcendence poetry last week. Although I’m not religious now, I was raised Christian so I thought the subject matter would take me back and be relateable to my upbringing, but I was pleasantly surprised when I realised how relateable and current the subject matter felt to my own life today.”
“Awesome evening! Well done to all performers, amazing talent...I was so blessed...looking forward to the next one and I am spreading the word! ”
“Such a rich night of faith, creativity and positivity. Absolutely loved seeing people using their gifts to glorify God. I’ll definitely be going again”
