Welcome to our open mic!

Where you can perform a self-written text, a poem, a monologue, a spoken-word performance, a song, an act, a stand-up routine, a musical piece ... Anything goes, this is your moment on stage! The audience is your safety net, supporting whatever you choose to share. The open mic is hosted by slam poetry teacher and spoken-word artist Bart Vereecke.

Would you like to perform at our open mic? Registration is required. Please state clearly in the comments what you plan to do and what you need from us. You will receive your specific performance time during the week leading up to the event.

Would you simply like to come and watch or listen? You are, of course, more than welcome to do so, no registration is necessary. Just show come to OPEK and let the performers of the evening surprise you!

Practical

Please note: theater and spoken-word performances are limited to 3 minutes, bands to 10 minutes, and songwriters to one song. This allows us to give as many people as possible the chance to share something during the evening.

Level of experience

Level X: everyone is welcome, regardless of you level of experience, prior knowledge or background.
