This ten part course explores the skills, knowledge and techniques that are central to the art of Performance Poetry.
 
The themes examined during the course include: the differences between page poetry and performance poetry, evolving a set of performance poetry, the role of humour within performance poetry, an exploration of the significance of authenticity and believability within performance, microphone techniques, breaking through the fourth wall, adapting to diverse performance spaces, performing in character, getting gigs and staging performance poetry events.
 
As there is no better developmental situation for performance poets than through performance itself,  all course participants will be given subsequent live performing opportunities.
 
The course is suitable for page poets making the transition to performance poetry, performance poets looking to evolve and newcomers who are looking to enter the world of performance poetry.
 
The cost of the ten session course is £250.
