Learning: Eating: Performing

The Word and Sound were back at the Worcester Arts Workshop today for Learn: Eat: Perform, which was a wonderful poetry workshop run by The Worcestershire Literature Festival with guest poet Aoife Mannix.  http://aoifemannix.com/

The workshop covered performance tips which were easily accessible.  Aoife also had some wonderful writing exercises which freed up the imagination: how to dress for a ball on Venus.  Some very elaborate outfits saw the light of day.  The drafts saw the beginnings of many poems for the participants.

After a break for lunch with fantastic food at on-site Cafe Bliss, an open mic followed to enable tips to be put into practice.  Check out the menu here:

The next Learn: Eat: Perform: is on Sunday 20th March with guest poet Lucy Engish.  £6 in advance or £7 on the door.  There are 15 places.  For more details and how to book visit the Worcestershire Literature Festival's website: http://www.worcslitfest.com/sunday-20th-march-2011-learn-eat-perform-with-lucy-english/
