Performance Poetry Skills

A brand new programme designed to support poets who want to perform their own writing. Each week you will explore techniques for building your confidence in performing your work and bringing your poetry to life.

You’ll have the chance to take part in a broad range of instant writing exercises to inspire new ideas and develop your body of work and explore staging techniques such as personas, characterisation and presentation skills. A safe and supportive space where you can learn how to make your words shine on stage through collaboration with other poets.

Sessions will be led by Associate Artist Liz Wilkinson and guests artists will be invited to join on a regular basis.
