Spoken word poet and activist, Bridget Minamore, explores how the rigidity of your opinions and beliefs are in a state of flux, going through periods of inflexibility to those of fluidity and transition.

Bridget Minamore is a writer who teaches drama and poetry workshops around the country, mostly for women and young people. She has an English degree from UCL and is currently working on a multi-platform poetry project to explore ideas of loss, home and relationships, called Losing My Last First Tooth. Bridget is part of the creative team behind Brainchild Festival and in 2013 was shortlisted to be London’s first Young Poet Laureate. She was recently chosen as one of The Hospital Club’s Emerging Creatives for 2015 and has started working with My Body Back Project, that aims to empower women who have suffered sexual violence. Passionate about women’s rights and modern-day feminism, Bridget has worked with Plan UK’s Day of the Girl Campaign, and spoken at three Inspirational Women’s Conferences for school girls and the Southbank Centre’s WOW Festival.
