Echoes, Ripples, Whispers - Breath, Voice and Persona

What do Mervyn Peake, the Mary Celeste and Marilyn Monroe have in common? They’ll all pop up in this workshop designed to refresh and inspire you, both in creating work on the page, and in sharing it with confidence. You’ll read and discuss published poems as a springboard, use exercises to experiment with poetic voice, draft and workshop new poems, and have the chance to receive supportive feedback on improving performance skills. After this day workshop of listening, writing, reading, and exploring identities mistaken, doubled and assumed, you’ll go away with fresh ideas and a greater awareness of your own voice potential.
