We introduce you to LIMING ON TOUR - spoken word with a carnival flavour

Having curated a number of shows in 2009, at the V & A, Kings Place and Southbank Centre, Tilt are organising more events events in 2010.

For instance we held a special LIVERPOOL LIMING at the Bluecoat as part of its Black Atlantic literature season last March, you can click on the link below to watch some highlights.

We have our first England Tour from September 2010!

The tour covers Sheffield, Nottingham, Ilkley and London up to the end of October and offers a dizzying and eclectic line-ups of poets, fiction writers, live artists and performers - watch this space for dates and information.

If you like what we do and are interested in collaborating, we've love to hear from you.

" The whole audience was in uproar. Who’d have thought that a woman blowing in to a balloon could cause such a visceral response."

"Based on a Trinidadian cultural institution, they mash up Caribbean carnival sensibilities with dance music and poetry readings. Between sets by famous names like John Agard and not so famous names like Aoife Mannix, the audience is invited to chat, meet the artists or dance over a beer supplied by sponsors Guinness. It creates a sense of involvement lacking at many literary events and explains why (Tilt) has been able to pack in up to 1,000 people at its gatherings."

"I walked into london liming thinking I would hear live poetry for the first time, but I never knew poetry could be so funny that I'd laugh uncontrollably, so beautiful that I'd be lost for words, and so powerful that I'd be inspired all over again as a writer. The experience was amazing and one of a kind."
