Writing West Midlands: Introduction to Performing Your Poetry with Jasmine Gardosi (Online)
Sat 28 Nov 2020 to Sat 28 Nov 2020
Are you thinking of performing your poetry for the first time? Or maybe you’ve been sharing your work for a while and simply want to increase your confidence and perform with more intention? Join our online classroom for a fun, lively, one-day workshop in a supportive and encouraging group of a maximum of fourteen participants.
Through this course, you will learn how your own individual strengths will enable you to do justice to your poems off the page.
You’ll build an arsenal of techniques and key elements of performance such as posture, eye contact, volume, speed and expression. Together, we’ll use these to draw out the qualities in your poems to develop effective performances. You’ll also learn tips for memorisation, managing nerves and open mic event etiquette.
Attendees are asked to bring 1-3 poems on which to practise their performance technique.
Jasmine Gardosi is a multiple slam champion, Birmingham Poet Laureate finalist and recent winner of the Out-Spoken Prize for Poetry. A previous BBC Arts Young Creative and Poet in Residence for the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, she is a current Poet in Residence at the Brontë Parsonage Museum. Her debut pamphlet Hurtz is published by the award-winning Verve Poetry Press.
