The Performance Writing and Spoken Word Institute explores the power of both the written and performed word. Students get friendly with the time-honored poetic devices of the ancients, as well as the rip-the-roof-off rhetoric of rap. Students create original poems and spoken word pieces in several different styles, learning effective communication through voice and body language. This is an excellent class for slam teams about to enter competition or for any student who wants to learn to write and rock the mic. Come with an open mind, a willing spirit, the ability to laugh, and a pair of good drum sticks (not joking… bring drumsticks).
