As time drifts on and you realize that you just don’t operate as culturally as you did when you were younger. You wake up to the shrill sound of your alarm, before hurrying to work, maybe read a vacuous free paper then straight into the day’s tasks. These days can pass with metamorphic tendencies to all too quickly turn onto decades. To break up the cycle and offer something up that deserves your intellectual engagement would be to attend free music concerts at King’s Place. It’s a brilliant new venue which plays host to a wide range of arts.
On Sundays there is a spoken word event. These weekly meetings entail a large group of people getting together to discuss profoundly current affairs, prose or selected topics in a way that has much more substance than you would perhaps find if such topics took place on question time.
Although you may think you have a mundane life of getting to work, cooking a meal and then retiring to bed to retire many years later, even this type of life experience can reveal elements of beauty when analysed. Whether it be simply sitting in a restaurant gazing out the window or even getting the stains out of your favourite shirt after a night out. It is these little segments of everyday life that are looked into.
It also welcomes anyone from the long established poets who even thinks of borings tasks such as washing up in elaborate prose; to the local postman that likely does a huge amount of contemplation on their rounds. After a few visits of going you’ll find you can easily get more involved in conversations around topics and participating to a higher degree on each visit.
The genres of topic covered range from anything that has ever been talked on this planet, or anything that has been put down in ink. It can really broaden your outlook on life and will definitely be a refreshing experience. You may have turned your nose up at such an evening in the past, all I can say is, give it a try and I am sure you will be pleasantly surprised.
There isn’t a better way to start the week than get your brain cells working in an in depth discussion. Your head is still not fully awake from the weekends relaxation, so to get the best start possible a bit more challenging. These sessions will make you aware how relaxing listening to prose or speaking prose actually is.
