From the Page to the Stage: Performance Poetry Workshops

This workshop is for writers who are looking to create a powerful work that conveys a strong and purposeful message on the page as well as the stage. Classes will emphasize the following techniques: tone, diction and advanced rhythm lessons. The purpose of this workshop is to find literary tools that allow your poetry to "dance" on the page and affect your presentation on the stage. The methodology is based on the belief that how you convey your message on the page will help guide your presentation.
