Workshop: Poetry in Practice: Write and Perform — 4 Week Community Program

Join us in September for an, engaging, inclusive, creative, four‑week writing and performing poetry program. Each session considers aspects of poetry including structure, cadence, language, and purpose. Through facilitation participants will discuss poetry, write poems, read aloud poems; and perform poems. The environment is supportive and creative.

This course is perfect for emerging performers, writers, or anyone curious about poetry. You can attend one session or all four — each session stands alone and welcomes new participants.

📅 Mondays — 7th, 14th, 21st and 28th September 2026

⏱️ 1.5 hours: 10am – 11:30am

📍 Funhouse Factory, 141 Mann Street, Gosford

💵 $10 per week 

Come and discover the power of spoken poetry.

The program is facilitated by Catherine Gordon choir director of Speaking Together, Inc who has an extensive background in education, theatre and publishing.

Speaking Together, Inc is a choir performing choral verse. Choristers turn poems into imaginative, vibrant performances. Recently established on the NSW Central Coast, its purpose is to share the joy of collective poetry speaking.  The intention is to have a rich repertoire that includes everything from classic verse to contemporary poetry.

The ensemble performance uses vocal expression to create a dramatic effect. Here spoken storytelling is shaped with attention to timing, vocal dynamics and ensemble cohesion to create exciting theatre. Performances are layered, rhythmic and surprising.

Choir members are expected to enjoy a shared commitment to creativity, each other and the community. Through rehearsals and performances, there are opportunities for people to meet, collaborate, and contribute to something larger than themselves.

Founded this year, we are an incorporated not-for-profit community choir based on the Central Coast and can be contacted directly at poetrychoir@gmail.com
