Unleash Your Power Through Words At The Spoken Word Festival

Stories Around Us

“In the end, we’ll all become stories” - Margaret Atwood. 
To this, I’d like to say that truer words have never been spoken. Don’t you agree? We’re all stories in the making. Some incidents from our lives have been shared as stories that inspire, stories that make people laugh and cry.

Words are power; they can either make you or break you. They help you tell your story to people who are waiting to be inspired! The idea of being a story is so intriguing. As I’m writing these words, I can’t help but think what’s my story going to be like? It’s exciting but at the same time, I’m a little nervous. Someday, I hope my story will be worth sharing and maybe one day I’ll share mine at a spoken fest. 

Power Of Words

Often our emotions are not translatable into words. But when they do, they often sound like poetry. And when you find the right words you’ll feel a chill running through your spine. Sometimes words fail us, but mostly they have the power to heal, inspire and help us emote.

 
The Spoken Fest is one such platform that gives everyone an opportunity to speak their heart out. Especially, the young minds who have so much to say - pouring their heart out onto Instagram, promoting self-love and self-worth and ruffling feathers with their view on everything around. They’re bold, they’re out there,  they just need the right platform to be heard.

How It All Began

Roshan Abbas and Gaurav Kapoor started this concept in a bungalow at Versova to provide a platform to those who need one - a platform to follow their passion. And since Spoken Fest held in Mumbai was a success, Kommune is organizing a Spoken Fest 2.0 in Delhi. From theatre to poetry, storytelling to songs, a new multi-arts festival will celebrate the magic of words and voices.
