Po’JaM Co’LaB
Creative Community Drop-In
Following our monthly Pop-up Bookshop, Po'JaM Co'LaB kicks off at 3pm in the Theatre Deli Cafe/Bar.
This initial meet-and-greet is a vital chance to network with fellow creatives and easily connect with the
Speakeasy Po’JaM Team – Eljai Morais, Stephane Harivelo, Josh Olusanya & Olayinka Sobitan.
After this initial social, we'll move to a studio for a more intimate session where you can share projects, swap skills, sign-up to perform for our bi-monthly open mic or just chill and chat.
Po’JaM Co’LaB is your community hub. Feel free to bring your instruments, laptops, writing materials, links, flyers, or business cards – or simply bring yourselves!
Po’JaM Co’LaB takes place monthly on Saturdays 3pm - 5pm at Theatre Deli, 107 Leadenhall Street, London, EC3A 4AF. We start in the Cafe/Bar, then move to a booked studio (Studio 5 or 3).
‘BLN-SpeakEasy is such a great programme and ultimately helped me find the courage to share my voice through poetry. From the accountability, to the feedback to the community, to the fun, I loved everything about SpeakEasy.’
