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!
As a storyteller, jamilah hopes to share her own experience, honestly, so that listeners are inspired to do the same so that soon the whole world will be sharing stories back and forth towards understanding, peace and equanimity. This workshop is about that dialogue and will distinguish print poetry from performed poetry and explore how elements, including the five senses, poetic devices, how words sound and theatricality, can increase the impact of your performance.
All are welcome but space is limited, so sign up soon! Registration is required - email registration@mayworks.ca with your name and telephone number and specify which workshop you're interested in attending.
