Dave Rock has repeatedly placed in the top three or four of major poetry slams such as the Cuirt International Festival of Literature Poetry Grandslam, and the All Ireland Slam. He has also been a finalist in other grandslams both in Ireland the UK. He brings a unique physical and vocal presence to the stage, and often works with pure improvisation. He has coached many major slam winners.
“Dave Rock acted as a huge influence and guide for me in terms of how a performer can embody poetry as they speak. He acts more as a mentor than a tutor, and the coaching I received from him almost felt more like discussion that led to growth in my own performance. It was a joy to learn from him, and through these experiences I feel I grew a great deal as a facilitator and educator myself.”
