Ann Arbor Wordworks, now in its sixth year, is a performance poetry troupe comprised of collegiate-aged writers who primarily began their writing and performance careers in high school as members of the Neutral Zone’s VOLUME Youth Poetry Project. These writers have performed all over the country as members of Ann Arbor Youth Poetry Slam teams, Chicago Youth Poetry Slam teams and University of Michigan Poetry Slam teams, including on such stages as the world famous Apollo Theater in New York and the San Francisco Opera House.0AIn addition to gaining national reputations as writers and performers, Wordworks poets are also active educators who teach poetry workshops in high schools, at juvenile detention centers and youth centers. All proceeds from this year’s ticket sales will go to support the VOLUME Youth Poetry Project at the Neutral Zone.
