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 can also be interwoven with other artistic forms such as music, film, two-or three dimensional images, the written word, or practices yet to be discovered. Rather than fixed formats, each evening invites experimentation, allowing different rhythms, voices and collaborations to emerge.

As with everything at the Becue, this project grows out of curiosity and collective engagement. 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.
