WORKSHOPS! 1. SPOKEN WORD, SELF-NAMING & RESISTANCE This workshop explores poetry as an activist artform. Acclaimed politicized poet Lenelle Moise discusses the history of the Spoken Word, especially as it relates to jazz, the Black Arts Movement, Hip Hop & Slam (competitive Spoken Word). Participants receive writing prompts, a list of recommended readings, performance tips & practical advice about how to get started from a working performance poet. 2. RADICAL VOICE & MOVEMENT This is an interactive and highly physical performance workshop for actors, musicians, dancers, poets or anyone interested in radical self-expression & improvisational vocal composition. As Lenelle guides participants through a series of ensemble theatre exercises & thematic "sound jams," the voice & body are explored as political texts that compliment the written word.
