PERFECT YOUR OPEN MIKE PERFORMANCE !
Two consecutive workshops with Vivienne Glance, hosted by Voicebox Fremantle.
These workshops are open to all types of Spoken Word Artists and will provide you with the nuts and bolts of how to engage, enthrall and entertain an audience with your own spoken word style. These skills will help you be a more confident reader at opportunities such as the upcoming Perth Poetry Festival.
Our feature poets this Saturday 7th July 2018 are Cate Jennings, Jenny Hartley & Aidan Coleman (Adelaide).
Cate Jennings, (the poet formerly known as Cath) boasts grandparents who were self published bush poets, not averse to reading their works at the dinner table. She grew up in small WA towns sans TV reception, watching adults amuse themselves and each other by writing and performing comedy skits. The rest of her bio is truly fascinating.
This Saturday 30th June 2018 is our second Mega Open-Mike Event for the year where everyone is a feature at Perth Poetry Club.
Perth Poetry Club holds Mega Open-Mikes quarterly as an opportunity for every open-miker to be a feature with 5 minutes (maximum) of performance time.
Best to prepare your performance. Try something different, experimental. Edit and refresh your poems. Hone your performance skills.
Past events have been memorable for the quality of the poetry and performances.
