Kavita K. Hansla
(She/Her)
Kavita K. Hansla is an award-winning poet and spoken word artist based in London.
With over 100 performances to her name, Kavita has shared her unique voice on a variety of stages, from Wandsworth Arts Fringe and Generation Hackney to the iconic Jawdance at Rich Mix. Her commanding stage presence and evocative delivery have led to numerous headline and feature performances across London and beyond. Blending humour, vivid storytelling, and sharp wordplay, she crafts experiences that resonate deeply with audiences and linger long after the final word. In February 2025, Kavita was honoured with the Best Poet and Spoken Word Artist Award by the Mainstream UK Awards, a national competition where winners were selected by an independent panel.
Her poetry goes beyond the stage where her written work has been published in Kite String and King’s Cross Word Space Magazine, where her words continue to engage readers in fresh and meaningful ways.
In 2024, Kavita broadened her creative reach, performing at and leading workshops in schools, colleges, and businesses. She has also taken on the role of being a poetry judge for student poetry competitions, further engaging with the literary community. She also launched her Instagram page, a vibrant space for live videos, page poetry, and original illustrations. With her name meaning poetry in Hindi, it was clearly meant to be!
