Cornish Library, 20 West Gate

This a beginner-friendly workshop for writers who dare to be the undeniable speakers of their poems. We will engage in exercises that encourage us to evolve our “performance voice” by leaning into our natural storytelling qualities. Participants are asked to bring an (almost) finished poem of their choosing. Together, we’ll explore strategies we can use to build a performance that is authentic to you and your work.

Highlights: storytelling warm-up, performance strategies overview & practice, performance graphing, mini performances & individualized feedback.
