Poetic Reconstruction is a collab-based poetry workshop blending writing, improv & movement. Build, break, and reconstruct your voice.
About this Event

Poetic Reconstruction is more than a workshop—it’s a creative rite of passage.

Hosted by Lati D. & Kenzo, this is a collaborative space where wordplay meets world-building, and poems are built from breath, body, and instinct.


Come ready to:

✍🏾 Dive into dynamic writing prompts

🎭 Play with improv games and movement warmups

🎤 Workshop pieces in real time

🧠 Build new work through collaboration and creative risk

🩶 Share space with other genre-bending, rule-breaking artists


This is for poets who want to level up, let loose, and reconstruct their process through embodied craft and community.


Whether you’re a first-time writer or a stage veteran, this is your checkpoint, training ground, and creative playground—all in one.
