SPEAK VOLUMES, Spoken word poetry project with SlamFresh

Everyone has a story to tell. In this seven-week project, you will get the chance to explore yours.
Every Tuesday from Sept 10th to Oct 22nd, 1-3pm
Please make sure you can attend all 7 sessions (or as many as possible) as there is a performance opportunity at the end. Book through Carole or Eventbrite link above.
Spoken word poetry is all about big ideas and bold ways of sharing them. It can be side-splittingly funny, or hit you with something so moving that it changes the course of your life.
Our professional facilitators will guide you through the process of writing, editing & performing your own spoken word poetry.
During the project you will:
- Find new ways to express yourself
- Develop your skills in creative writing
- Build on your confidence and public speaking
This project is open to anyone. Maybe you have never penned a poem before, or perhaps you’re looking to develop your existing writing further. All that’s required is a passion for words and a willingness to try something new.
All sessions will be run by experienced SlamFresh facilitators Rowan McCabe and Donald Jenkins. Rowan McCabe has written poetry for Channel 4 and the National Trust. Donald Jenkins has performed at Glastonbury Festival and runs Newcastle’s premier spoken word night, Born Lippy. Together they have over 30 years’ experience in running writing and performance workshops.
