TestimonIaLS

In schools, universities, business settings and charitable organisations, Kimba successfully uses spoken word, poetry & rap to captivate audiences. From venues such as the V&A museum and Tate Modern, to community libraries, auditoriums and classrooms, his creative approach and versatility to adapt material to meet a specific brief is valued and appreciated. His passion and experience provide an open forum to be inspired.

​

We had amazing feedback from parents, staff and governors and children described working with Kimba as ‘their favourite part of Creative Arts Week.’

I have no reservations in recommending him to other schools who want to engage their children with a creative writing and a performance project that is totally engaging and fun!"

"The children valued the opportunity to work with someone outside our community. Kimba’s workshops helped them develop their poetic skills in a fun and meaningful way. It was wonderful to see their confidence grow as they experimented with language and rhythm.


The children’s poems reflected the vibrant colours and feelings of the season, and many proudly shared their work with classmates and staff.

 

Kimba’s visit not only enriched our curriculum but also highlighted the importance of diverse voices in literature and the arts. We are incredibly grateful to Kimba for his time, talent, and the inspiration he brought to our schools."

"Kirkham Grammar School celebrated National Poetry Day today with a visit from the fabulous Kimba. Kimba, through his performance poetry, taught the pupils how to use the acronym 'Shampoo' to improve their creative writing – simile, hyperbole, alliteration, metaphor, personification, onomatopoeia and oxymoron. 

Our First, Second and Third Year pupils thoroughly enjoyed themselves! 

Thank you, Kimba, for visiting KGS!"

Kimba Bush took centre stage in the Great Hall, where he mesmerized the students with his powerful performance. Through his captivating poems and raps, he engaged the students, encouraging their active participation. The visit of such an engaging and entertaining poet undoubtedly left a lasting impact on our students!"
