Drama For Live (DFL) presents Lover+Another National Online
Poetry Competition.
After massive success in the poetry slams hosted across the
country, this year DFL is trying something new!
Lover + Another is taking to its online platforms to give
voice to poets dying to be heard. Lover + Another is an innovative performance
poetry competition which encourages the youth to talk openly and creatively about
relationships, sex, HIV/Aids.
“This is your chance to become South Africa's leading young
poet!” says DLF. “Take a chance. Work your pen. Find your words. Speak your
truth. Perform your passion. Through Lover + Another you have an opportunity to
voice your truth, through this year’s theme: Human Connection.
“In the age of HIV and AIDS, issues – of trust, intimacy,
touch, lust, passion, sex, sensual pleasure, the erotic, betrayal, hurt, broken
relationships, gender violence, sexual identities, discrimination, broken
promises and love - all demand attention, allow us inside your head and heart
with your words ... speak ... write ... perform. Your time is now!”
One poem per entrant.
Entrants are encouraged to record poems on their mobile
devices (alternatively, record audio or a written piece) and submit to one of
