Mayhem Poets: Slam Poetry

Using hip-hop rhythms, dynamic theatrical techniques, and the fresh sound of hip-hop violin, these charismatic, young "spoken word" poets bring poetry alive and get students thinking.

This event is part of The School Day Performances Series a high-quality, curriculum-based program of live performances that provide a one-of-a-kind experience to nearly 11,000 students, Grades PreK-12, each school year. The program acts as an extension of the classroom, providing educators with direct connections to NYS Learning Standards in a variety of subject areas, including: literature, poetry, Shakespeare, history, music, and character education.
