Words Take No Prisoners is a series of open, exploratory encounters where language is incarnated as a material to work with, stretch, and transform. Spoken word may stand on its own, but will also be interwoven with other artistic forms such as music, film, two-or three dimensional images, or practices yet to be discovered. Rather than fixed formats, each evening invites experimentation, allowing different rhythms, voices and collaborations to emerge.

What we do is tell stories. They can be non-linear, nonsensical, non-fiction, notes, nocturnal, noisy, novel fragments, not funny, not your cup of tea, noble, nourishing, no no limit, naughty, no holds barred, they can be everything. They can even rhyme. Because telling stories means reinventing what we know, they can rewire our ways. Stories can be powerful if the teller wants to be. But they can also, just, tell a story. 

As with everything at the Becue, this project grows out of curiosity and being together. It is an invitation to poets, writers, performers, musicians, audiences and other artists to gather, listen, and take part in shaping what these evenings can become together.
