Arielle Cottingham performs ‘Irony’ at Melbourne Speaks Poetry presented by Melbourne Spoken Word at White Night 2016.
Arielle Cottingham is a spoken word and performance artist hailing from too many Texas towns to just pick one as her former home. Her poetry ranges from raw vulnerability to provocative politics, exploring how the personal influences the public, and vice versa.
