“One of those crystalline encounters that linger far longer than events 10 times its duration." The Age  

TOP PICK OF MELBOURNE FRINGE 2022 - THE AGE 
NOMINATED - BEST IN EXPERIMENTAL AWARD, MELBOURNE FRINGE 2022  

 

Come sit with me and my typewriter and I shall type a poem for your soul. Shhh...’  

Part side show, part arty spiritual reading, type-a-poet is a one-on-one performance art experience like no other.  

Set in a pop-up Temple of Poetry, type-a-poet is a live co-creation with its audience, one visitor at a time. In complete silence for ten intimate minutes, you will be transported to another realm, with a personalised inked gift for you to keep at the end.  
 
Award-winning performer/writer Andi Snelling combines her love of vintage typewriters with improvised word wizardry, while incorporating access in innovative ways, in this magical, meditative experience that heals the heart, bends the mind and explodes time.  

Presented by: South Side Festival, Frankston Arts Centre, and Andi Snelling

Reviews

“Snelling has never met a form of performance beyond her. Typically atypical and always surprising… one of those crystalline encounters that linger far longer than events 10 times its duration." - The Age

"Precious few experiences are as unique as this one. It'll change your life. Ethereal, other-worldly... A series of surreal and honest moments. I felt seen. Studied. Accepted." - Weekend Notes

"It's shows like type-a-poet that make festivals exciting. This is a unique experience that is yours and yours alone. 24 hours after my visit to the Temple of Poetry I read my poem and continue to be amazed at how much the silence between us speaks volumes on paper. The finished product displays Snelling's skills as a performer, a writer/poet and her uncanny ability to understand people and really see them." - My Melbourne Arts
