Crossing the Page/Stage Divide

With considerable experience of writing and performing poems for the Wimbledon Championships, the BBC, Apples & Snakes and others - Niall is a firm believer that page and stage are overlapping realms and that poetry is at its best when both disciplines come together. He'll guide poets from both poetic realms to write new material from scratch and guide you through the process of, re-drafting, editing, rehearsing and reciting. You'll develop confidence and networking skills, and the course will culminate in a performance at a venue in London.
