apples and snakes
As England’s leading spoken word poetry organisation, we exist to support poets
at all stages of their careers. Working with inspiring people and organisations,
we run regular live events and artist development programmes across the country.
Through our Book a Poet scheme, we can help you find the best visiting artists
for your workshops and events. We produce work in collaboration with other
charities and organisations, including libraries, prisons, and housing
associations. We believe that working collaboratively helps ensure that unheard
voices become heard. Apples and Snakes is proud to have worked in partnership
with a number of organisations, including BAC, Free Word, Southbank Centre, Rich
Mix, Tate, Nuffield Southampton Theatres, Penguin Random House, Barbican Theatre
Plymouth, Hull City of Culture, Roundhouse, Birmingham Hippodrome, Birmingham
Repertory Theatre, RSC, Arc Stockton, The Royal Court, #Merky, EUTC, BBC,
Brighton Dome, Nottingham Playhouse, and many more. We are grateful to have
received support from a number of generous donors and organisations, including
Arts Council England, Heritage Lottery Fund, London Community Foundation,
Cockayne Foundation, Ernest Hecht Foundation, The Fenton Arts Trust, Esmee
Fairbairn, and Paul Hamlyn Foundation. Apples and Snakes is a registered charity
and a National Portfolio Organisation.
