Location
About
With experienced Perth performer Mar Bucknell
If you want to turn your poem into a performance that the audience might remember, then this workshop will help. Performing, rather than just reading, your poem can bring your words, your ideas to life.
There are things that can be easily learnt to help you with this process, and far from diminishing your individuality, they will help you find your voice. No one method of performance works for every poet or every poem
This workshop covers stage presence, voice production and the grammar of performance and is suitable for anyone, of any level of skills or experience. If you are a beginner you can learn some important steps. And if you think you know everything about poetry and performance, here is the news: you don’t. Good performers never stop learning.
Things to bring:
• some poetry, preferably some of your own and some by your favourite writers
• your preferred writing media
• an open mind.
