Rhythms of the Wild Walk
Poetry, Rap and Nature with Casey Bailey
– Meeting Place on Festival Site
Step into the open air and let the rhythm of nature fuel your creativity in Rhythms of the Wild, an electrifying fusion of poetry, rap and the great outdoors. Led by Casey Bailey – acclaimed poet, spoken word artist, rapper and educator from Birmingham – this immersive experience invites you to explore the deep connection between rhythm, storytelling and the natural world.
Experiment with form, flow and feeling – as you move through scenic landscapes, you’ll engage in dynamic writing exercises that merge the energy of rap with the introspection of poetry. Let the wind set your tempo, the rustling leaves inspire your metaphors and the sounds of nature shape your verses.
Bailey will share insights on how environment influences rhythm and lyricism, demonstrating how poetry and rap can be powerful tools for self-expression. The experience culminates in a captivating live performance, where Bailey’s words will bring the natural world to life through rhyme and rhythm.
