Ruusu Open Mic 30.5.

Ruusu Open Mic is coming, this time fully online. In these times we want to hold on our monthly traditions, as poetry is a balm for mind. The event will be streamed in this event at 17.00 PM (UTC+3).

As accustomed this Sunday stage poetry club starts with two invited warm up acts followed with the main event, that is the open mic itself. Our warm-up performers are Miss Dorina and Colombian Andrés RW!

You can join into open mic via email: ainokaisa.huusko@gmail.com. Just add headline Ruusu Open mic and your name. You will then get instructions to join via Zoom, and all you need is a computer or smartphone with a webcamera and microphone. The open mic slots are 4 min long each and they’re limited to 25. We are happy to welcome international performers, as this is an unique way to do poetry club globally. The link for event: https://www.facebook.com/events/240447690558571/

Each performer will be carefully listened to and cheered on – especially, if it´s your first time! The open mic slots are 4 min long each and they’re limited to 25. Unfortunately we can’t give you the audience’s applause, so you will get them recorded.
