At a crowded gala, a high-profile cocktail hour, or a pause in a high-powered corporate meeting, the unexpected sounds of a manual typewriter act as a magnetic pull. Our Live Typewriter Poetry provides a quiet moment of connection amidst the excitement of an event. Guests approach and provide us with a memory, or a person’s name, or even just a word or two, and within minutes they walk away with a personalized reflection of their evening, typed live on archival-quality paper.
This interactive feature thrives on the tactile nature of the typewriter. In a digital age, there is something profoundly moving about watching ink meet paper in real-time. It invites guests to pause, engage in a brief but deep conversation, and witness the creative process firsthand. It is sophisticated entertainment that respects the intelligence and the presence of your attendees.
Having written over 1,500 poems at venues like The Phillips Collection, I have seen how this service breaks the ice and serves as a welcome conversation starter. It is the perfect addition for planners looking to offer an experience that is both intellectually stimulating and visually stunning, fitting seamlessly into the aesthetic of a black-tie affair.
