Joe Kriss

I am a Director of Opus and work across many of the company’s projects, with a particular focus on Festival of Debate and Wordlife. I support the company’s events and coordinate the broadcast output including live streams and video production. I am a poet in my own right, having performed widely across the UK and edited two anthologies of new writing, including ‘Wordlife 10’.

Wordlife has a long history of supporting literature development in South Yorkshire and operates one of the longest running poetry nights in the country. It produces innovative digital projects that have included large-scale video projections and AR and VR literature apps that are experienced through smart phones.
