About this Event
Spoken Poetry Writing & Performance (with Regie)
This session is an embodied poetry workshop exploring life stories through spoken word, movement, and improvisation. Guided by Regie Cabico, participants are invited to write, move, and vocalize using playful prompts and experimental wordplay.
Rather than focusing on polished performance, this workshop treats poetry as a live, responsive practice—shaped by breath, rhythm, silence, gesture, and sensation. We’ll explore poetry in its shortest forms and experiment with how words change when spoken from the body.
You may write, speak, move, or simply listen. Sharing is always optional. The emphasis is on curiosity, resilience, and finding language that carries your Rasa—your feeling, flavor, and truth.
No writing, poetry, or performance experience is required. Come as you are.
