Welcome to EXIST, where voices echo with the power of words and creativity flourishes. EXIST is more than just an open mic experience; it’s a sanctuary for poets and writers, both budding and seasoned, to weave their narratives into the fabric of our shared existence. Here, under the soft glow of stage lights, each performer steps into the spotlight, their words dancing across the room, stirring hearts and igniting imaginations. From raw emotions to intricate metaphors, EXIST embraces the diverse tapestry of human expression. Whether you’re a newcomer finding your voice or a veteran honing your craft, EXIST invites you to step forward and share your story with a community that listens, understands, and celebrates the power of words.
All of our in-person and online open mics are selected at random. For our in-person experiences, once the doors open and for 30 minutes only, you can sign a raffle ticket as your entry. Once we get started with the open mic, poets are selected one at a time, at random for the duration of the night. For our online open mics, once you join the LIVE you can Submit a Request to Join and poets will be selected at random. Poets are allowed one poem only within a 5 minute timeframe for both experiences.
Just show up, whether in-person or online. The best way to be tapped into what we do and become a part of our community (family), is to simply show up and be yourself. Be supportive, be loving, be engaging, be fun, be creative, be unique, be all the things that will make you feel like family and then you will be… family.
Once our tickets are Sold Out, no further tickets will be sold online or at the door. We set the tickets available for purchase to match the capacity given by the venue and are unable to add any extra people. We advise grabbing tickets as early as possible as our experiences sell out every month and if you miss your chance to grab for the upcoming one, grab tickets to the following one so you don’t miss out on the fun.
Yes, we are open to taking our Poetry Open Mic Experience to venues and schools/universities across the country. Please email us at findus@voicesinpower.com with some information and we can move forward from there.
If you’ve performed at one of our experiences in the past few years and want your professionally shot and edited footage of your performance, you can email us at findus@voicesinpower.com. You can purchase your video for $25 and we will send over your performance video.
