‘The most beautiful videos come from reading poetry. And they’re in your head.’ - Ruth Stone
Poetry has an unlimited special effects budget, its cinematography department is out of this world, and it isn’t afraid to casually bend the laws of time and space. In this workshop, we’ll be writing poems to deliberately and delightfully boggle our own minds.
This workshop will be BSL interpreted and live captioned.
