If you’re working to improve your performance, check out our upcoming workshop with Regie Cabico:
High Wattage: Elements of Performing the Slam Poem with Regie Cabico
Two Day Workshop: Sunday, September 5th & Sunday, September 12th from 4:00 pm – 7:00 pm
How do we make performance choices that heighten the poem’s life? How do we live the poem and not simply read the poem?
Join HBO Def Poetry Jam veteran and 3-time National Poetry Slam finalist Regie Cabico for “High Wattage: Elements of Performing the Slam Poem.”
A slam text is your show stopper, your three minute solo play. In this two-session class, we will explore the vocal & physical techniques for audiences to see the poem.
From the professional slammer to the virginal journal poet, we will stretch your interpretation of your over-performed texts, and we will prepare you to kick your verses in the squint of the spotlight in a nurturing environment.
Attention will be given to the page including language, imagery, and craft. Bring a poem, no more than a page long, comfortable shoes & clothes, your body, and a packet of your emotional colors.
This 2-part class will take place on Sunday, September 5th and Sunday, September 12th from 4 pm to 7pm. Pre-registration is encouraged.
