A mix of interactive activities alongside video clips from real practice, and tips and ideas for use in slam scenarios will make up this dynamic, practical workshop. There will be opportunity to stage a mini slam to understand the ins and outs of the process, and also to ask questions and evaluate best practice.

This Masterclass will be ideal for poets who are interested to begin working in education settings, or to expand their existing education delivery experience. An understanding of slam poetry would be useful but definitely not essential.
