MAIA is hosting Scratch Night, a multidisciplinary evening open to Black creatives and audiences to test works-in-progress, at Patrick Studio, Birmingham Hippodrome on Fri 7th March, 6-9pm.
It's open to all word-based practices - so expect poetry, theatre, song-writing and everything in between. At the end of the night, there's an open mic, so please bring along bits of work and new ideas you'd like to test to the room.
Food + additional spaces
We will be serving hot food from 6pm. Halal and vegan options will be provided. We also have quiet and prayer spaces available.
