Bullock Cart Poetry is an organisation dedicated to creating and presenting spoken word poetry. The movement began in 2016, started by brother-sister duo Chandrakant and Priyam Redican, and have been extremely active for a year and a half now. They are currently working on building a community of dedicated spoken word poets who are pursuing the art seriously, and then sharing it through live gigs, YouTube, and various publications.
Bullock Cart Poetry host 3-4 events per month; from competitive slams, to open mic nights, and poetry + chai events – which are more of an interactive feedback session.
Their live gigs and ‘performance poetry pro’ nights usually happen at High Spirits, but they also have an upcoming showcase at the Pune International Literary Festival. Their slams and open mic nights are open to all, but their themed events and performance poetry pro nights are more curated, based on judgment and skill. An entry charge is always applicable, as Bullock Cart Poetry believes in sharing the profits to ensure their whole movement is sustainable and commercially viable in the long-term.
