A workshop for writers interested in performing with musicians. We will explore tone, pace, performance styles, collaboration, shared language and improvisation. Come along to take part in playful and provocative performance activities. Please bring a piece of writing that is finished and that you know well. Come with an open mind and a willingness to take a risk or two. This is for poets with some experience of performance. Led by Chris Redmond and Riaan Vosloo.
