APPLES AND SNAKES ARTIST DEVELOPMENT
Working With Young People, Poetry and Spoken Word
Apples and Snakes have teamed up with arts venues across the country to bring spoken word artists this exciting, FREE artist development masterclass.
Poets! Do you want to work with schools and young people, but don’t know where to start? Are you looking to develop your poetry workshop skills? Do you want to build up confidence before delivering educational workshops?
Renowned slam facilitator and poet coach Jacob Sam-La Rose will be leading FREE training sessions for artists who are interested in developing young people’s creative writing and performance skills. This Masterclass is aimed at poets and spoken word artists who would like to develop their education workshop skills, with a particular view to working with the youth slam model.
Who is it for?
Artists who have had a go at spoken word before, it is not necessary to be highly skilled, but you should have a small amount of experience.
For artists who are interested in working with young people, specifically with the youth slam model.
It could also appeal to more experienced artists who would like a refresher course or for those who are looking for a way into this niche area of work.
When: Wednesday 21 September, 12-6pm
