Page to Stage Workshop

If you’d like to learn how to take poetry and writing off the page and onto the stage with skill and confidence, Page to Stage is the place for you.

This mini-series of performance training workshops covers some key skills you’ll need to perform writing for an audience. We’ll be focusing mainly on poetry, but if you have something else in mind, please contact us to check in.

It will be a welcoming and inclusive space, particularly suited those who are starting their journeys or have a little experience and want to step it up.

You’re welcome to attend just one or the whole set to have more time and space to hone your craft.

Sessions will be led by Lorna Burchell, professional storyteller and performance poet.

Session time: Two hours

Participant numbers: Limited to 10

Price: Free, but booking is essential here

Session 2: Writing for performance

Discover and develop your performing persona and voice. In this workshop, you’ll work out who the stage you really is, what they sound like and what they want to write about.

We will focus particularly on the art of performative language and how to use it in our writing.

By the end of the session, you’ll have performed a short piece of your own work in front of our supportive group. You’ll receive live encouragement and feedback.

We’ll cover

Using your voice effectively, the creative/performance persona; working with the sound of language for effective performance; working out what inspires you and what you want to write about.
