I am dissecting the anatomy of a good feature, because I think a twenty-minute set should be more than just five or six slam poems.
Some things I've used or seen others use:
Cover poems
Short poems
Some type of intermission (Limericks, haiku, beatboxing, etc.)
First drafts
What else, LJ kids?

2. i don't give a shit about memorizing--i just want it to sound right and to demonstrate a rollickin good time onstage. most slam audiences i've tried this with are open to a little raw, as long as it's not sloppy. in any case, i think it's a more interesting peek into process (as opposed to polish) than a first draft indy piece.

Also, I have been promised by the Vancouver Slam that they will perform Bowling with me at my feature in November. Sean, Duncan and RC. Although I think RC was a few sheets to the wind when he accepted.
