Words First meets Sound First

Emerging artists from two BBC talent development schemes - Sound First and Words First - collaborate to create new specially commissioned sound worlds of spoken word and sound design. New poems from the Words First spoken word artists are interwoven with new sound designs from our Sound First sound artists on the theme of 'time'.

These talent development schemes are hosted by the BBC Contains Strong Language Festival. Sound First is supported by producers Ben Brick and Eloise Whitmore along with the poetry organisations Apples and Snakes and Young Identity.
