About the event
4th Annual Verbal Oasis Spoken Word Festival
Inspired Child Presents The Children's Open Mic
Hosted by Monique Franklin
The Children's Open Mic Band: Brittany Davis (Keys), Darry Wilmore (Bass), and Christopher Patin (Drums)
Do you have a little performer? Please join us in developing and celebrating the creativity of children. Children and families will have the opportunity to participate in the open mic, enjoy performances by local adult and teen artists, engage in experimentation with instruments, dramatic play and art projects intended to build and maintain self-efficacy and self-esteem.
The Childrens Open Mic is a child-centered, family engagement event focusing on developing the creativity of children ages 2 -12 while providing teens with paid opportunities to write commissioned pieces, build their performance resume and step into a mentorship role.
We seek to create a place for children to feel safe; where their voices and families are respected, honored and heard.
Show Set:
3 -3:30 pm Creation & Exploration Stations: Tap Dance, Art, and Poetry
3:30 - 4:30pm Open Mic & Feature Performances
This program is funded in part by the: King County Parks and 4Culture.
