WORKSHOP - Mic Check 1, 2, 3: Performing What You Write with Isabella Luna
10am-12.30pm
What is spoken word or performance poetry? How is it different from poetry in books or page poetry? How do I do it?
Spoken word poetry is poetry that is read or performed aloud. It is not altogether different from poetry in books, however, there are a few techniques that can help shift a poem from the page to the stage. There is no one definitive way to write spoken word (how boring it would be if there was!) but there are some tools and tricks that can help get you started. Over the course of this workshop, participants will engage in various writing exercises and performance techniques in order to create and perform a spoken word poem.
This workshop is for emerging artists or those with an interest but little experience in spoken word poetry, or those keen to just pop along and write some spoken word poetry. All ages welcome.
OPEN READING - with Isabella Luna and Adara Enthaler
1pm-2.30pm
Following the workshop there will be a FREE open mic reading session featuring Isabella Luna and MC'd by Enough Said Poetry Slam host Adara Enthaler. Workshop participants are encouraged to join the open reading and share what they learned, however poetry lovers are also invited to attend and watch (registrations required).
Isabella Luna is a queer writer and performing artist living and working on Dharawal, Wodi Wodi, and Gadigal lands in NSW, Australia. She holds a Bachelor of Creative Arts (Hons) in Writing with Minors in French and Theatre at the University of Wollongong.
