About this Event
Break the Page: How else can a poem speak?
What if a poem didn’t have to stay as just words on a page? If it could be heard, seen or performed? What story is that poem telling beyond the words?
Join multi-disciplinary artist Dream17 in this interactive workshop “Break the Page: How else can a poem speak?” where we will explore storytelling in poetry beyond the written word.
What will we be doing?
- Look at real life examples where voice, performance and different art forms a have been used to elevate poems
- Different art forms include visual elements, sound, characterisation and theatre
- Experiment with your own writing, with the option of collaborating with other participants
- By the end have a piece of work using at least one other art form to further develop the piece.
Designed for writers, creatives, and anyone curious, this workshop is a welcoming creative space to play and blend different art forms into poetry.
Break the page and let the poem speak.
