From the Page to the Stage
This is a workshop for writing of all kinds, with emphasis on poetry and on live performance of original work. It is a safe, supportive and stimulating place to try out new work and receive constructive feedback. Weekly exercises will challenge participants to write outside of their creative comfort zones and performance techniques will be demystified.
We start Friday, March 12th, 8:00-10:00pm, ongoing for 7 weeks.
This is a free workshop, but space is limited to those who can commit to all 7 weeks.
