Previously entitled 'Cirque du ArtSwarm', ArtSwarm Live events are live, open-mic performances of poetry, music, or anything else on a certain theme. Acts are typically 10 minutes long and are open to any local performers. A first series of bi-monthly performances ran from Feb 2019 to Feb 2020, at which point the Covid-19 pandemic prevented live events.
