Delivered by Es Foong /Waffle Irongirl, this workshop explores the relationship between poetry, performance and your own authentic expression. Through exercises and shared exploration we:

discover untapped resources for more expressive, dynamic and embodied performance
use the energy and emotion of the moment to make each performance unique and true to the self
