Spoken word artist, Angela Willock, and violinist, Megan Bartholomew, came together by the happy accident of sharing a bunker-style residence with limited rehearsing space.

Angela has been performing as a poet for around 18 months, and has featured at local festivals such as Island Vibe and Anywhere Theatre as well as being a state finalist for the National Poetry Slam in 2012. She was the People’s Choice Award winner at the Bellingen Readers and Writers Festival Slam in 2013 and is currently touring Australia’s east coast as a part of the Roar Poets.

Megan studied music at the University of Queensland wants to learn to teleport when she grows up and has been exploring the spoken word music world with the assistance of her (ninja hoodie wearing) housemate.

Angela and Megan first performed together as part of the Raw Poet Raw showcase event at The Box in 2012, and look forward to bringing you a taste of their meld of spoken word narratives and classical violin as part of this year’s Brisbane Emerging Arts Festival.
