Registration required: email registration@mayworks.ca

This year Mayworks is pleased to offer writing workshops from two performers that are part of the opening night line-up, What's Becoming of Our City?. If you were inspired by what you heard, wonder how you too can capture the subtleness and depth of emotion using only words, these workshops will provide you with the tools you need.

Facilitated by Motion, from lyrics to rhymes, spoken word and poetry, scribology is the art of verbal poetics: transforming words from the mind to a page, through a mic, off the tongue, on stage. The Art of Scribology workshop will bring your word/flows to life - this will be a lively and active session!
