Annabelle is a university student from rural NSW who has been writing and competing in Australian Poetry Slam events since she was 15. After many successes in Sydney heats over the last three years, she was a runner up at the APS Youth Slam in 2019, and in the same year won the Sydney Final to become a NSW Poetry Slam finalist. Annabelle has facilitated Story Week workshops for Word Travels, teaches performance poetry to high school students and has performed slam for hundreds of young people at GenerationYouth and yLead seminars. Annabelle loves using poetry and performance to help untangle the coming of age journey, and is thrilled to be back at live slams in 2021.
