Poetry Playspace: Character Catwalk with Kirsten Luckins

This month's Playspace is a dress-up box for poets!

We will use props, costumes, and music in this fun session, to help us experiment with creating characters, personas, back stories and 'bodies' with distinct shapes, movements, and voices. We will ultimately try to crack each other up by performing a monologue 'poem' as our character.

Suitable for beginners to performance and writing - but if you've ever created a persona in a poem, why not bring that piece along as a starting point!

Cost

This workshop is subsidised by Arts Council England. Please choose EITHER a free ticket OR a ticket+donation if you're able to support our Future Fund.
