All About L.A.
Lyrical Alliance ("L.A.!!!!") has been the performance and poetry club on Rowan University's campus for the past five years. This year's College Unions Poetry Slam Invitational (CUPSI) team will be coached by Scott Sigl, recent RU graduate and member of the 2012 and 2013 Philadelphia Fuze Slam teams, and the 2014 Pigeon Poetry Slam team. Members of Lyrical Alliance will compete for a spot on the team in early December, and the five best poets will have the pleasure of road-tripping to and then competing in Richmond, Virginia!
Watch Scott compete at the Legendary Nuyorican Cafe:
Where Your Donation Goes
Funds raised from this campaign will go towards registering the team, renting a hotel room in case we can't find someone to stay with (if you wouldn't mind six poets sleeping on your floor for a couple nights, please don't hesitate to contact us), gas to get to VA, and any extra money will be put into the club's funds for next year.
What We Do
Lyrical Alliance is not only a performance space, but a safe space. As a club, we run weekly writing workshops on a variety of topics and host monthly open mics where we encourage new-comers and veterans to express themselves via poetry, music, comedy, whatever they want. This club is an open conversation on topics both dark and light, and we invite you to join us on our journey!
Can't Donate? That's Okay!
If you can't contribute monetarily, please share/promote this campaign on all your social media sites!!! We appreciate the support and look forward to representing New Jersey at the 2015 CUPSI.
