OK,
This week I have been working with the Roundhouse and Parkour people as 1 of 5 youth poets (Me (Jazzle Dunne),Kiaz La Kaize, Bayan Gadazpour, Deborah Stevenson, Tyrone Lewis, and our mentor Jacob Sam La Rose) to generate some poetry about free running. This started with a meeting with Calli from Urban Free Flow at the Southbank. This was enlightening as we found out lots about him and free running and the Barcleycard World Free Running championships, which takes place in September. So I went home and started to generate some ideas from my stimuli, which resulted in 7 poems and 1 is a shape poem based on the Urban Free Flow logo. On Monday i will go and get some feedback and critique on these poems and the go and create the final drafts to deliver on Friday. These poems will be displayed around the Roundhouse during the championships. I am very excited as it is my first commission and it is about a subject I love to watch and try to do. I will publish these poems when I have finished them and they have been displayed at the Roundhouse.
