Finding Your Voice: Poetry, Spoken Word & Song
About the Event
Join us for a Community Studio in which we look at songs, spoken word, and poems to see how the author’s voice is expressed and how participants can apply their techniques to works of their own.
In this studio, participants will look for defining phrasing and imagery in two poems and branch their own pieces from either the ones they analyze in the session or others they find.
