All The World’s A Stage – a spoken word performance workshop

Join performance poets Emma Purshouse and Steve Pottinger for an afternoon workshop designed to increase confidence in sharing your poems/monologues/stories with an audience, including the opportunity to practise your mic technique in a supportive environment.  Bring along something to write with and on, plus three or four poems or other pieces that you’d be happy to read aloud (they don’t need to have been written by you, but it would be great if they are linked somehow to Shakespeare).

This workshop, part of Shakespeare in Sutton – FOLIO’s fun festival for all, is aimed at anyone aged 16 or over. It will be fun, highly interactive and engaging! Participants will have the opportunity to perform their pieces (including if they are written by other people), if they wish to do so, at the Shakespeare in Sutton spoken word event, Mouthpieces, on Friday 29th April at 8pm at Highbury Theatre. Participants may choose to attend the festival’s morning workshop focussing on writing skills (rather than performance skills) if they wish to do so though this will require separate booking.
