Workshop 1: Gegeven door Amerah Saleh (UK)
- Finding Your Voice In Spoken Word -
Angry poems don’t need an angry poet. Find the balance to strike the audience whilst still being true to yourself
Workshop 2: Gegeven Mutinta Bbenkele (SA)
- Writing beautifully about pain -
Poetry is about confronting the deepest most vulnerable parts of yourself, but when do we stop reciting diary entries and begin the magic of imparting healing to a listener who is resonating with your poem and most importantly yourself? Join this workshop to find out.
Workshop 3: Gegeven door Thabiso Afurakan Mohare (SA)
- Writing a Six Word Story -
Stories told in just six words (inspired by Ernest Hemingway’s famous challenge and first six word story, “For sale: baby shoes, never worn.)
