Performance Artist, Playwright and Poet, Alice d’Lumiere is running a workshop on Creating Poetry for Performance. Alice will be looking at the basic building blocks of verse: Syllables, Stress, Rhyme and Meter, but all from the practical point of view of creating verse to entertain and connect with live audiences. She’ll be exploring techniques for writing for different venues and crowds; using examples of much loved poems, alongside her own stage work to illustrate potential approaches to voice, cadence, genre and identity. The session will have time afterwards to look at participant’s own work; so if you have written some verse that's personal to you, or you have a short piece of prose in progress, please bring it along; either on paper, or in your head should you be able. If you're not working on anything currently, but want to play with words, or just lean the difference between iambic pentameter and trochaic tetrameter, bring yourself, your imagination and a willingness to express yourself aloud; as Alice would love to hear from you."
