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.
We’ve looked at words, we’ve looked at structure, but what about the experiences and ideas that truly make us ourselves? In this session, participants will go through a guided set of prompts to find and articulate poems unique to them.
