Giving Life to the Spoken Word
Poetry Workshop, Saturday, Feb. 4, 2:40-3:40 PM, Hannah Community Center, 819 Abbott Road in East Lansing — in conjunction with the Mid-Winter Singing Festival. Their flyer reads:
Want to make words jump off the page, stand up and shout? This workshop will show you how to infuse a poem, story or speech with vital energy, how to catch and hold the attention of your audience. Together, poets Ruelaine Stokes and Bob Rentschler will teach oral performance techniques that will infuse verbal magic into any spoken word performance. This workshop will be interactive and allow participants to practice a variety of spoken word techniques. Fun!
$5 wristbands for the Singing Festival workshops will be available for sale at the Hannah Community Center on Saturday, Feb. 4th. One wristband grants access to any and all of the 13 workshops! Kids under 12 are free! The 11AM Children's Concert is also free.
