About this event:
In this workshop, participants will work together to adapt classic poems for ensemble performance. Using group performance exercises and demonstration of technique, participants will be introduced to basic poetic interpretation for the stage. Particpants should come prepared to move and work collaboratively. No prior performance or poetic interpretation experience is required.
