Alice Shindelar is a fresh voice in the Twin Cities spoken word community, who is already turning many heads with her bold wordplay, strong subject matter and deceptively coy delivery. Alice Shindelar is a recipient of the 2010 Jerome Foundation VERVE Spoken word grant awarded by Intermedia Arts, the only spoken word grant in the country. She is also a filmmaker and aspiring screenwriter. She attended Perpich Center for the Arts Education for literary arts during her junior and senior year of high school and graduated from the University of Minnesota, Morris with a degree in French and Film Studies. She began performing at slams and open mics around the Twin Cities in 2008 and is a regular at the all-woman’s slam, Punch Out Poetry. Alice hosts a bi-weekly workshop called Talk Story Salon for poets, storytellers, emcees, and performance based writers of all kinds and is a volunteer editor for the erotica magazine Whole Beast Rag.
