DAI MORET

Dai Moret is a Brazilian-born, mixed-race performance poet and actress. A bilingual writer, she works across poetry, theatre and music, and is the resident poet for Latin jazz band Ally.

A two-time Bankstown Grand Slam winner (2018, 2022) – Australia’s largest poetry slam – Dai is one of the few poets to achieve this twice. Her work moves between political, sensual, and personal themes. With a background in psychology and acting, she brings emotional depth and theatrical presence to her performances. Dai has performed at major festivals including Sydney Writers’ Festival, Vivid Sydney, Melbourne Spoken Word Festival and the Sydney International Women’s Jazz Festival.

At the heart of her work is a belief in spoken word as a force for empathy and social change - creating space for stories to be felt, shared and understood.
