In this masterclass workshop, participants will explore how to bring their poetry to life by moving beyond the poetry reading to the poetry performance. How can we bridge the page and the stage while writing poetry? What can poetry slam teach us about drawing audiences into our work? And how on earth do you adjust a mic? We will delve into these topics through discussion, writing prompts, and opportunities to practice performance techniques with the group.
This event is sponsored by The Department of English Language and Literature at the University of Waterloo to celebrate its new Creative and Professional Writing Major.
