Poetry

Stage and Page

We promise a journey of creative experimentation, glorious failure and discovery of your inner extrovert. As well as playing with ways of producing new writing, we will be looking at improvisation techniques, persona development and dramatic structure. A course for spoken word artists who want to push their work further and poets interested in creating pieces specifically for a live audience.
