Her work explores identity, location, the body, and the interplay between them—how people shape and are shaped by the realities they inhabit and those around them. She focuses on intersections, the friction at those points, and the impact this has on both bodies and memories. She was the 2023 Farrago UK Slam Poetry Champion and has represented England at both the European and World Slam Championships.

Clive Oseman is a comedy writer with a fondness for the surreal and absurd. A multi-slam winner, he has performed internationally in New York City and Lisbon, as well as across the UK.
