COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
The
Axis of Stevil is an organization that understands what
it takes to grow and be successful. A strong environment
to work, live and learn is key to creative and spiritual
growth. The Axis of Stevil takes pride in the fact that
it supports and amplifies the voice of the everyday person
who does in fact deserve to be heard. With that, the Axis
of Stevil wants to get involved and spread the word of
local community events.

POETRY SLAM!
Tipping
the entertainment scale of the future.
Poetry
Slams are not "new" by any means, other than the
fact very few people in this great country have no clue
what it is or what it is about. Well The Axis of Stevil
is here to tell you dammit! For further information about
the Poetry Slam! please visit:
http://poetryslam.axisofstevil.com
Poetry
Slam! was born in Chicago Illinois in 1896, by a man by
the name of Marc Smith. It was produced in an effort to
try and encourage EVERYONE; bus drivers, police men, librarians,
factory workers, etc. to participate in and experience poetry
on a common level void of the serious, low-riding emo-tone
previously associated with poetry.
Poetry
Slams are poetry games shows in which "The points are
not the point, the point is the poetry"1.
Fun is also a huge factor in the success of a Poetry Slam.
The event itself is setup in a three round game arrangement.
During each round, every competitor is allowed three minutes
to perform one of their original pieces of poetry. At the
end of each performance a panel of judges (chosen from the
audience) scores the performance on writing and delivery.
All the olympic style scores are added for a round score
of up to 30 points. At the end of the game prizes are awarded
to a lot of different people for different things.
The
entire event is a fun good time, with suprises around every
corner. Please visit the website
for more information.
THE NEXT POETRY SLAM IS
TBA
BE THERE OR BE SQUARE!!!
