stevetasane

Steve is the master of tongue-twisting, mind-boggling alternative poetry. Over the last dozen years you could have caught his dynamic performances almost anywhere: Glastonbury Festival Jazz Stage, The Barbican, Ronnie Scott’s, Hamleys Toy Shop, even Battersea Dog’s Home. For its 7 year duration, he was a mentor for young slam poets in Ken Livingstone’s RISE Festival. He rap-funks for everyone from primary schools to May Day anarchists. His Arts Council one-person show against global corporations, KLEPTO, toured throughout 2006. Broadcast on BBC1, Channel 4, Radio 1 and Radio 4, he’s equally likely to be found performing to three year olds in the Glastonbury Kidz Field, or to families on the Poetry Bus at Canterbury Festival. His latest project is Talkies, a poetry-film album – watch this space!
