Milk return to the Tobacco Factory with a great line up headlined by Joelle Taylor, Maria Ferguson and Shaun Hill.
Award winning spoken word artist, poet, playwright and author, Joelle Taylor has performed across the UK as well as internationally for the British Council (Zimbabwe, Brazil, Botswana). She was awarded a Fellowship of the Royal Society Arts in 2015 as well as being named as one of Southbank Centre’s Nelson Mandela Change Makers for positively affecting cultural Britain. Her most recent collection Songs My Enemy Taught Me is a searing and powerful call of solidarity to all who have experienced sexual violence.
Maria Ferguson is a writer and performer from Essex. She has performed extensively across the UK as well as at festivals such as Bestival, Latitude and Secret Garden Party. She has been commissioned by Roundhouse, The Royal Academy of Art and BBC Radio One. Her debut show Fat Girls Don’t Dance, is published by Oberon Books and explores the theme of body image by merging storytelling and killer moves. It is currently touring after sold out shows in London, Leicester, Bristol and the Edinburgh Fringe, where it was met with critical acclaim.
Shaun Hill is the winner of both the Exeter and Bristol Poetry Festival slams.
Also, appearing will be Bristol-based Maya Blackwell and Stephen Lightbown.
