Sol Y Soul and 3Word Productions are proud to announce Capturing Fire. Capturing Fire is a Queer Spoken Word Summit and Slam. This slam will be the first of its kind, and open to all local and national GLBTQ performance artists. -- The mission of this event is to increase the visibility and exposure of GLBTQ performance artists. Capturing Fire aims to bring more credibility and awareness to the specific and diverse experiences of queer artists. In a time where Prop 8 exists, what better time and place then to hold this summit in the Nation's capital, as an act of celebration, resistance, and inspiration for change. -- The summit will culminate in a poetry slam, after two days of performance and writing workshops, panels and networking.
