There are countless ways to tell a story - whether that's through writing, speaking, painting, weaving, music, and more. All of us have a unique story to tell. The What's Your Story? series consists of workshops on different storytelling methods that can help you share your unique identity, history, and ideas.
In this workshop, internationally-ranked slam poet Adriana E. Ramírez will discuss the process of transition from writing for the page to writing for the stage. We’ll discuss effective strategies for performance as well as how to bring out different elements in the writing through performance.
Bring a poem you’d love to perform—but don’t worry if you don’t have one, we’ll be doing some generative writing too!
