School Matinee Performance 
Grades 6 and up

Award-winning poet and playwright Inua Ellams shares his chaotic, audience-led poetry event. Prompted by audience suggestions, Ellams will instantly search through his extensive archive of work and perform a reactive and spontaneous selection.

Like all DFS programs, this hour-long student matinee performance is free for schools to attend, though we do ask that schools make their own transportation arrangements.  If that means you might not be able to attend, let us know.  We may be able to help.  Our Perloff Memorial Bus Fund provides support for bus transportation. We often have more demand that we can accommodate; requests are filled on a first-come basis. Contact us at dfs@cap.ucla.edu for more information.
