Tigertail will present its 2014 WordSpeak teen spoken word team in a free performance.

The hour-long event will begin at 6:00 pm and will be lead by Teo Castellanos, the WordSpeak team coach. This year’s team is made up of six Miami-Dade youths:

Tigertail will send this team to Philadelphia from July 16 to 19, 2014, for the Brave New Voices National Poetry Competition. The “Olympics of Spoken-Word”, BNV includes over 500 youth poets from 50 cities across the U. S. Tigertail’s team will participate in workshops and readings with established poets and performers, in open-mike events, and they will compete in the Poetry Slam itself.
