This two-part, virtual workshop will take place via Zoom on April 20 and 27. Each day will run 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
There's a way to say what you mean and give the right emphasis to the right words. There’s a way our words out loud can become living things that bop to a beat and sway to the melody. I'm not a flat-on-a-page poet. I’m a conductor, a choreographer, and an animator. So are you! I am here to help you electrify not only your poems but your poem's performance. Let me help you create your mixtape.
