Book Week Workshop: Verse to Vibes

Celebrate Book Week by exploring your creative side in this dynamic, hands-on workshop. Experiment with bold and imaginative poetic forms including spine poetry, found poetry, and paint chip poetry to transform your words into something truly unique and expressive. Then, take it a step further by bringing those words to life through music and layer rhythm, sound, and storytelling to create original pieces that are meant to be heard, felt, and shared.

Participants will experiment, collaborate, and build confidence in their writing and develop their voice through poetry, a universal and timeless form of storytelling. Using our amazing in-house collection of instruments and guided by the expertise of our musical facilitator Tito, teens will experiment with blending their own writing with different styles of music to turn everyday words into powerful expressions of meaning, emotion and imagination.
