Performance & the Page w/ Neil Hilborn
In a perfect world, there should be no difference in poems meant for the page or the stage. We live, however, in this imperfect world, so in this workshop we will be examining the qualities that make poems better suited to performance, and how we can bring performative qualities to all our poems, not just the ones meant for the stage. We will analyze techniques from a variety of spoken word performers, and we will write poems from prompts designed to evoke those techniques. If you’ve ever wondered how a poem goes from a notebook to a microphone, this workshop is for you.
