Join poets Katie Ailes and Kevin Mclean, directors of Scotland's award-winning Loud Poets, for this inspiring spoken word poetry workshop. Explore what makes dynamic, innovative spoken word poems, and then get stuck into exercises on writing for performance. Sharing work out loud can be scary, so the pair will share plenty of tips on how to kick nerves and build confidence performing onstage – and there’ll be an opportunity to practice at the mic. No experience needed.
