A night of community and creativity – News

Poetry lovers gathered Thursday in the heart of the capital, at the Hilton Hotel, for the Top Score Poetry in Motion event.

The event is a platform where vibrant poets are selected to perform with a live band in front of an audience.

This time the theme was “At the Table” to celebrate community and creativity.

Local poets such as Benicia Aihuki, Edwig Hamukwaya and Spyder graced the stage with their performances.

“Audiences couldn’t expect anything but a literary soundscape of rhythm and spoken word,” says Mel Dreyer, one of the founders of Poetry in Motion.

Many poets took the opportunity to show their art to their loved ones and the public for the first time, revealing new dimensions of their creativity.

Edwin Hamukwaya (23), who is performing for the first time, praised the team for the work done.

“The team we worked with was incredibly understanding and patient. I am grateful for a platform like this to improve and showcase my art,” she says.

Audience member Ruth Shipale (21) says: “It was an incredible event. The team cultivated a warm and well-organized atmosphere. “It was inspiring to see young artists supported and thriving.”

This event marked the sixth installment of Poetry in Motion since its inception in October of last year.
