Workshop Description: "This workshop will focus on generating poetry slam texts and finding your own unique delivery and style. Attention will be placed to the visual elements of the "word" with the vocal and physical aspects of delivery. We will look at performance as making choices and creating gestural images by "diving" into the emotional life of the poem. Open for all levels."
This workshop is presented in conjunction with Out of Necessity, a multi-media performance for the National Queer Arts Festival, featuring Regie Cabico and more on Sunday, June 5, 2011, 5:00pm at the Mission Cultural Center for Latino Arts. www.brownpapertickets.com/event/174170
