Poet / spoken word artist
As a spoken word poet and writer, I've been honing my craft for over a decade. From winning a spot at the prestigious Vault Festival in 2018 with my poem "You've Lost That Loving Feeling and It's Only Been Two Weeks," to being featured on various discussion panels, I've made a name for myself in the spoken word community.
In 2019, I was commissioned to write a piece for International Women's Week, titled "Silver Foxes." The piece highlighted the plight of female actors being pushed out of the acting industry at 45+. It was published by The Conversation in an article titled "Invisible Lives: Where are all the older women in film and TV?" and featured across social media. My poem "The Menopause Poem" has also been featured heavily on various platforms, including radio, and is regularly requested at conferences and menopausal event. Recently I have been performing at music gigs -
In 2022, I took my show "Woman on Mute" to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. The show explored the various stages of a woman's life and featured spoken word pieces fused with music, movement, and comedy. After a successful run, the show is now being developed for radio.
Critics have praised my work, with Write Angel calling it "an exploration of how it feels to be invisible and silenced as a woman. Powerful words delivered with killer conviction - a must-see!!" Henry Normal said "Lisa Moore is honest, accessible, and engaging. Moore please" and Luke Wright said "Tenacious, powerful, and bloody good company. Go spend some time with Lisa Moore!"
Lisa Moore is a spoken word artist whose writing is deeply steeped in that which makes us human and ‘gets us through’ - grit, love and dark humour! Her work is full of spirit and Mancunian dialect both springs off the page and delights on stage.” – Isabelle Kenyon, Writer and Managing Director of Fly on the Wall Press 2022
Lisa reaches every nook in your heart...the sound of her voice brings love... nothing is hidden or veiled....an absolute wonder.❤️

'She's got this voice. Like it's an inch from your ear, sending words direct to your soul. Words that linger, sweet and spikey. A bit like a scotch bonnet' -

I'm also a regular at spoken word open mic nights and have both headlined, and been featured, as a guest on BBC Radio Manchester and on various podcasts. My collection of poetry is being collated for publication.
In addition to my work as a performer and writer, I also run a small company, MooreLife Arts , which amongst other things is involved with customising spoken word educational packages for schools, colleges, and staff development. I specialize in inspiring young people to find their true voices within the spoken word arena. All workshops involve a showcasing of created and performed pieces, and no prior experience is necessary. I take a brief look at the history of the spoken word scene before moving on to creating short pieces for the stage, with the use of a microphone and sometimes with music. Packages can be tailored to your specific needs. If you're interested, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

I have had the pleasure Of knowing Lisa Moore for over 20 years initially as my Media film teacher at uni of Salford, and more recently collaborating with her at Alchemy arts on our artful paths project Her ability to engage young girls especially from BAME backgrounds through her spoken word workshops was extraordinary .She provided them with a powerful platform to express their views on making our city streets, safer and more inclusive
her diverse talents as an actor, Director, producer, script, writer performance, poet, educational consultant, and executive film producer, are all evident in her work
Lisa is a true asset to any project combining creativity with deep commitment toward social impact
I wholeheartedly recommend her
