Main takeaway? Doing poems in body armour is really hard (even if that body armour is made of cereal boxes and tin foil). Thanks to Kevin P. Gilday - Writer & Spoken Word Artist for putting on an awesome night!https://katieailes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/stanzaslam2015_1.jpgStanzaSlam2015_1In March I went to StAnza, Scotland's International Poetry Festival, to volunteer and soak in all the poetry I could. While there, I competed in and won the StAnza slam! StAnza is a wonderful festival full of great artists in a nurturing environment, and I'm delighted to be returning to perform at their Poetry Cafe in 2016 with Kevin Mclean - Loud Poet.

It's a blessing to be able to research from a scholarly perspective the work that I do as an artist. I'm hugely enjoying this work so far and very much looking forward to diggin deeper into it this year, including conducting interviews with poets and witnessing as many live shows as I can!https://katieailes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/12017696_468561016649986_2605844648847171672_o.jpg12017696_468561016649986_2605844648847171672_oIn October I officially came on board with Loud Poets as an organiser! It's been such a thrill to work with the LP team and build upon the work they've done in establishing high quality, fun poetry nights and encouraging new voices.

Not sure how to sum up the experience, other than: SO MUCH ART! SO LITTLE SLEEP! ALL THE FLYERS! Geniunely, performing and working at the Fringe was one of the best experiences I've had, and gave me so much exposure into the life of a performing artist.https://katieailes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/11224470_10206467810047952_4372648838749536352_n.jpg11224470_10206467810047952_4372648838749536352_nIn July I got to travel to the Wickerman festival with several fellow Loud Poets and perform in their spoken word tent!
