About Poet’s Playground

Poet’s Playground Mission

It is the mission of the playground to provide the place for the Poet/Spoken Word Artist to play. The play that will be on this playground is the creative way for the arts to speak for the times. In its mission the following will be accomplished. An energy level like no other for the poet and the people in attendance. A place for words to be heard from all points of view. An elimination of ignorance that exist in our environments. A safe haven for the most fearful souls to let loose. A permanent and accurate recording and account for our life time. Without the poet and their creativity, life has no voice. The purpose of this playground is to give the voice that life needs badly. The mission of this Playground is to let the Poets Play. So I Now Say,….. Poet Let’s Play!

What is Poet’s Playground?

Poet’s Playground is an event and platform set up for those who love poetry & spoken word. This playground is established to be a place to be entertained fully by the Poet/Spoken Word Artist. This is not your ordinary poetry event. This is a heartfelt experience set up with the intention to have the impact on your spirit. This is where self-healing begins and ends. The artist that grace this stage have earned the status to wear a crown so heavy that the average person would crush under the weight of it. This playground was built for the best and nothing less. So please understand this, when you step into this event as a patron be ready to feel an energy that you have never felt before. When you step into this event as a Poet/Spoken Word Artist, be ready to represent and rock the heavy crown that you wear. This is Real King & Queen Shit! No BS allowed!

What kind of entertainment can you expect?

Expect to be entertained by artist that are able to recite from memory. If you can’t do it without looking, work to get to the point of being able to spit your shhhhh without having a crutch. The chosen artist to grace this stage are going to be from all walks of life. Some very true stories will be shared, and some very creative lies will also be transcribed. Some performers you will absolutely love, while others you will absolutely love to hate. Some wonder if the piece shared is true. Just know this, if it feels real, it probably is.

How can someone become a poet to grace the stage at this event?

Poet’s Playground is not an open mic event. It is closed to the artist chosen by one individual. The one person that chooses the artist that will grace this stage at a PP event is Frank “Frizzy” Sykes. There is a smaller event known as Mini PP or Mini Poet’s Playground, that is however an open mic that feeds and finds those that are eligible to grace the stage at the main event. So here is my suggestion if this is something that you are interested in. Prove yourself to deserve to play on this playground. Use your tools that you have at your disposal to make me see what it is that you have to offer. You don’t always have to make to an event to prove it. I have an Instagram and Facebook page for a reason. Tag me and show me what you are about. You never know what can happen from there.

Are the artist paid to perform?

The short answer to that question is yes. There are always many ways of compensation that can be worked out. In today’s time one should not be close minded to exploring the many options that are out there for their success. Expand your mind in understanding your benefit and let’s talk business. I’m always open to any discussion, in any location. Find me online and direct message me, or just email me at frankfrizzy@frizzyproductions.com with the subject line “Let’s Talk Business.”

Is there a set amount that artist are paid?

This number is not the same for all artist, and this number plays on so many different factors. So to say a set amount would be ridiculous, and a set up for failure. Everything plays on logistics. Certain events carry sponsors, some don’t, some artist come with promotion packages, most don’t, laughing my ass off! Never the less, when everything all comes together, it is at that point that budgets are set and offers and discussions are had. Could I pay you $1,000? Potentially, but the question to answer is are you established to do what it takes to be paid that?

Vending Opportunities?

This platform is setup to assist the community and those in the community looking for opportunities. Personally I don’t feel that there are enough opportunities set up for authors and poets to thrive from. So the first opportunity to vend is set up for the writers, authors, & poets with merchandise that they would love to sale or make the general public aware of its existence. This is an exposure and marketing opportunity for the artist and authors as well. Invest in yourself and make it happen. Vending cost vary depending on vendor type, item, and cost of product. Once the opportunity for artist and authors are closed out, the remaining vending slot will be open for others that have product that fit within certain guidelines. Meaning if this is a restaurant having the event, there is no way that I’m going to be able to bring in a food vendor. It just doesn’t work like that. Contact me and let’s see what we can make happen.

Venue Owners

If you are one that is the owner, or that has a venue that you think can facilitate the playground, and you are interested in having this event brought to your location, please contact me via email with the subject line “Bring It Here” at: frankfrizzy@frizzyproductions.com and let’s talk.
