I work with you to understand the room’s heartbeat, whether that means bringing in a flutist to echo the words or choosing themes that turn a standard program into a moment of collective pause. It is never a dry recitation; it is a conversation between my words and your guests. My poetry performances are designed for those who are tired of polished, rehearsed shows and are craving something that actually hits home. My sets generally range from 20 to 45 minutes, tailored specifically to the tone of your occasion. **Why include live music?** You’ll often see me collaborating with a flutist or an acoustic guitarist in my gallery photos. This isn't just for show. Live music creates a bridge between the words I write and the feelings you hear. A soft flute melody behind a poem about loss or a rhythmic guitar strum during a piece about self-love changes the way an audience listens. **Booking me for your event:** - **Brand Launches:** I help make corporate storytelling feel human again. I’ve worked with brands like Bumble to turn corporate milestones into personal narratives. - **Cultural & Private Soirées:** Whether it’s a book launch at Atta Galatta or an intimate house party, I hold the space for vulnerability. - **Custom Commissions:** If you need a proprietary poem written and performed for a launch, I offer a package that includes the writing process, refinement, and the premiere performance. **The Logistics:** I am based in Bengaluru and frequent the quiet corners of Cubbon Park, but I travel across India for performances. All I need is a standard sound system to make sure the words reach everyone in the room. Let’s skip the corporate speak and build an experience that people will actually remember. ## About Ruby Naaz I am Ruby Naaz, and I believe art should feed souls, not machines. My performances are my way of spreading a little bit of love, chaos, and truth. If you want a performance that feels less like a show and more like an honest conversation, I am here for you.
